Hadhrat Fatimah (Radhiyallaho anha's) Tasbih:

Hadhrat Ali (Radhiyallaho anho) once said to one of his pupils:
"Shall I tell you the story of Hadhrat Fatimah (Radhiyallaho anha), the dearest and the most loved daughter of the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)?"
When the pupil replied in the affirmativ, he said:
"Hadhrat Fatimah (Radhiyallaho anha) used to grind the grain herself, which caused corns on her hands. She carried water for the house in a leather bag, which left a mark on her breast. She cleaned the house herself, which made her clothes dirty. Once some warcaptives were brought to Madinah. I said to her, 'Go to the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) and request him for an assistant to help you in your house-work.' She went to him, but found many people round him. As she was very modest, she could not be bold enough to request the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) in the presence of other people. Next day the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) came to our house and said, "Fatimah! what made you come to me yesterday?" She felt shy and kept quiet. I said,"O, Prophet of Allah! Fatimah has developed callusses on both her hands and breast,on account of grinding and carrying water. She is constantly busy in cleaning the house and in other domestic jobs, causing her clothes to remeain dirty. I informed her about the captives and advised her to go to you and make a request for a servant.' It has also been reported that Hadhrat Fatimah (Radhiyallaho anha)

The Prophet's (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) reprimand on the Sahabah's Laughing:

The Prophet's (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) reprimand on the Sahabah's Laughing:
Once,the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) came to the musjid for Salaat, where he noticed some people laughing and giggling. He remarked:
" If you remembered your death. I would not see you like this. Think of yourdeath often. Not a single day passes when the grave does not callcout:' I am a wilderness', I am a place of dust, I am a place of worms'. When a Mo'min is laid in the grave, it says;' Welcome to you. It is good of you to have come into me. Of all the people walking on the earth. I liked you best. Now that you have come into me, you will see how I entertain you', It then expands as far as the occupant can see. A door from Paradise is opened for him in the grave and, through this door, he gets the fresh and fragrant air of Paradise. But when an evil man is laid in the grave it says;' No word of welcome for you. Your coming into me is very bad for you. Of all the persons walking on the earth. I disliked you most. Now that you have been made over to me, you will see how I treat you!' It then closes upon him so much that his ribs of one side penetrate into the ribs of the other. As many as seventy serpents are then set upon him, to keep biting him till the Day of Resurrection. These serpents are so venomous that if one of them happened to spurt its venom upon the earth, not a single blade of grass would ever grow."

The Prophet's ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) passing near the ruins of Thamud during Tabuk expedition:

The Prophet's ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) passing near the ruins of Thamud during Tabuk expedition:

The Tabuk expedition is one of the major campaigns of the Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ),and the last one in which he personally took part.When he received the news that the Caesar ( of Rome ) had mustered a large foece to crush the powar of Islam and was on his way ( through Syria ) to invade Madinah,he decided to lead the Sahabah to check him on his way. On Thursday the 5th of Rajab,9 A.H.,the devoted band marched out of Madinah. As the weather was hot and the fighting was expected to be very tough,the Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) made an open declaration that the Muslims should gather in strength and prepare fully to face the forces of the Roman Empire. He also exhorted them to contribute towards the equipment of the expedition. It was on this occasion that Hadhrat Abu Bakr ( Radhiyallaho anho ) contributed all his belongings. When he was questioned by the Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) as to what he had left for his family,he replied:

Hadhrat Abu Bakr ( Radhiyallaho anho ) and The Fear of Allah :

Hadhrat Abu Bakr ( Radhiyallaho anho ) and The Fear of Allah :
According to our belief , Abu Bakr ( Radhiyallaho anho ) is the most exalted person after the Prophet ( may peace be on all of them ). The Prophet ( Sallaho alaihe wasallam ) himself conveyed to him the glad tidings of his being the head of a group of persons in Paradise. The Prophrt ( Sallaho alaihe wasallam ) once remarked :
" Abu Bakr's name shall be called out from all the gates of Paradise, and he will be the first of my followers to enter it."
With all these virtues and privileges. Abu Bakr ( Radhiyallaho anho ) used to say ;
" I wish I were a tree that would be cut and done away with."
Sometimes he would say :
" I wish I were a blade of grass, whose life ended with the grazing by some beast."
He also said :" I wish I were a hair on the body of a Mo'min."
Once he went to a garden, where he sae a bird singing. He sighed deeply and said.
" O , bird ! How lucky you are! You eat, drink and fly under the shade of the trees, and you fear no reckoning of the Day of ludgement. I wish I were just like you."
