Abu ' Ubaidah (Radhiyallaho anho) loses His Teeth.

During the battle of Uhud, when at cne time the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was fiercely attacked by the enemy and tow links of the helmet worn by him were struck deep into his head (or face). Abu Bakr and Abu ' Ubaidah (Radhiyallaho anhuma) ran to help him. Abu' Ubaidah (Radhiyallaho anho) started pulling out the likes with his teeth. By the time one of the links was out, he had lost one of his teeth. Without minding this, he again used his teeth to pull up the other link as well. He succeeded in taking out that one too, but he had to lose another tooth in the effort. When the links were drawn out, the blood begain to ooze out from the Prophet's body. Malik bin Sinaan (Radhiyallaho anho), the father of Abu Sa'eed Khudri (Radhiyallaho anho), licked the blood with his lips. At this, the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) remarked:

"How is the Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam )?"

When told that her father was killed in the battle, she uttered' lnna Lillah' and impatiently repeated the same question about the Peophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ). This time she was told that her husband was no more, her brother was dead and that her son too was slain. With evergrowing anxiety, she repeated the same question about the welfare of the Prophet ( Sallallaho  wasallam). She was told that he was safe and sound, but she would not rest contented, and insidted on seeing him herself. When at lost she had satisfied her eyes with his sight, she said:

An Ansari Woman's Anxiety About the Prophet.

In the battle of Uhud, the Muslims suffered heavy losses and quite a large number of them were kiled. When the sensational news of their heavy casualties reached Madinah, the women came out of their houses eager to know the actual details of these casualties. On seeing the crowd of people at a place, a woman of the Ansar anxiously inquired:

LOVE FOR THE PROPHET

LOVE FOR THE PROPHET
What we have hitherto read about the achievement of the Sahabah in their time eas in fact the result of their love for Allah and for His Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam).Love, as a matter of fact, was a great dynamic force in the Sahabah's career. It was this force that made them forego their luxuries, forget their lives,give up all their desires for wealth, ignore all afflictions, and have no fear of death even. There is no room for any other consideration (except that of beloved) in the heart saturated with love. May Allah through His Grace grant us His own love and that of His Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam), so that we may be blessed with devotion in His worship and have sense of comfort in all difficulties faced in His service.

Hadhrat ' Umar ( Radhiyallaho anho )

Hadhrat ' Umar ( Radhiyallaho anho ) narrates that Rasullullah ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) said :"Allah exalts many people by means ofthis Book ( the Holy Qur'an ), and He also degrades and disgraces many others by of the same."People who believe in the Holy Book and act upon it are given by Allah position of honour and respect, both in this life as well as in theHereafter, while those who do not act upon it disgraced by Allah. This principle is also borne out by the various ayaat of the Holy Qur'an.At one place it reads:"He misleads many by this Book and guides many thereby."At another place we came across:"And We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and mercy for believers, though it increases for the evil-doers naught save ruin."The Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) is also reported to have said;"Many hypocrites of this Ummat will be the qurraa,i.e., those who recite the Qur'an correctly." In 'Ihya-ui-Ulum' it is reported from some Mashaa ' ikh," As soon as a man start reading a surah (chapter ofthe Holy Qur'an), the Angels start invoking mercy for him and they continue to do so till he stops reading; on the contrary another personstarts reading a surah and the Angels start cursing him and theycontinue to do so till he completes the reading."

such is the speciality of the Qur'an. Some physians say that citron stengthens the memory and it isreported in 'Ihya' by Hadhrat Ali ( Radhiyallaho anho ) that three things, i, e, cleaning the teeth withmiswak, fasting and reding the Holy Qur'an strengthen the memory. In the book of Abu Dawood, it is mentioned at the conclusion of the hadith given above that a good companion is like a person having musk. Even if you do not get musk, you will at least enjoyits fragrance. An evil companion is like a person with a furnace, near whom, even if you do not getblackened, you certainly cannot avoid the smoke. It is therefore, important that one should be verycareful in choosing hid companions, with whom he has to mix generally. ( FAZA'IL-E-A'MAAL )

HADHRAT ABU MUSA ( RADHIYALLAHO ANHO )

  Hadhrat abu Musa ( Radhiyallaho anho ) narrated that Rasulullah ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) said :"The example of a mo'min ( beliver ) eho reads the Qur'an is like that of citron which has a pleasantsmell and a sweet taste. The example of a mo'min who does not read the Qur'an is like that of a date,which has no smell, though its taste is sweet. The munafiq ( hypocrite ) who does not read theQur'an is the like a wild gourd, which has a bitter taste and no smell, and the munafiq who readsthe Qur'an is like a raihan ( sweetsmelling flower ), which is fragrant but has a bitter taste." In this hadith an abstract quality of reading the Glorious Qur'an, has been compared to concreteobjects in order to illustrate the difference between reading and not reading the Holy Qur'an.Otherwise it is obvious that material objects of this world like citrons and dates cannot match thesweetness and perfume of the Qur'an. There are, however, special points in this similitude, whichpertain to the deep knowledge of the Prophets and testify to the vast understanding of Rasulullah( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ). Consider, for example, the citron, which gives flavour to the mouth,cleans the stomach and stimulates digestion. These are the qualities specially associated with thereading of the Qur'an since, fragrance in the mouth, internal purity and spirtual strength result fromreading the Qur'an. It also said that if there is citre in the house, no jinn can enter it.If it is true, thensuch is 

HADHRAT IBN UMAR ( RADHIYALLAHO ANHO )

HADHRAT IBN UMAR ( RADHIYALLAHO ANHO )Hadhrat Ibn Umar (Radhiyallaho anho) marrates that Rasulullah ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam )said," Hasad (Jealousy) is not permitted except in respect of tow persons - one whom Allah blesses with recitation of Qur'an amd he remains engaged in it day and night, and the other who is given a lot of wealth by Allah and he spends it day and night."On the authority of many ayaat of the Qur'an and numerous ahadith hasad is an evil and is absolutely forbidden.This hadith,however, appears to permit hasad in respect of tow persons. Because there aremany well-known traditions dealing with hasad, the Ulama (Plural of aalimreligious scholar)have interpreted this hadith in tow ways. Firstly, hasad as denoted by the Arabic word 'ghibtah',is taken here in the sense of emulation. There is a differnce between jealousy and emulation.Hasad is a desire that one possessing a blessing should be deprived of it; whether the person who feels jealous acquires it or not, whil emulation signifies a desire to possess a thing, whether the actual owner is deprived of it or not. Since hasad is haram ( religiously unlawful )under Ijma ( consenus of opinion ), the Ulama have traslated, by way of metaphor, this wordhasad as ggibtah, meaning emulation. Ghibtah is permissible in worldly affairs and commendable in religious matters. The second interpretation is that the term hasad has been used in a hypothetical sense, i, e, if hasad were permissible it would have been so w

Sohaib ( Radhiyallaho anho ) .

Sohaib ( Radhiyallaho anho ) narrates; "The Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) was eating dates at that time. I also joined him in eating. One of my eyes was sore." He said,"Sohab! you aretalking dates when your eye is," But I am talking them by the side of the othereye,which is not sore,O,Prophet of Allah,I replied. The Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam )was much amused with my retort." Hadhrat Sohaib ( Radhiyallaho anho ) was very generous and he spent his on others most lavishly. Umar ( Radhiyallaho anho ) once told him that he wasrather extravagant. He replied: "But I spend only where it is right."When Hadhrat 'Umar ( Radhiyallaho anho ) was about to did, he expressed the wish that his funeral service be led by Hadhrat Sohaib ( Radhiyallaho anho ).

HADHRAT ABDULLAH IBN ABBAS (Radhiyallaho

Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (Radhiyallaho anho) has narrated the saying of Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam):"He in whose heart tthere is no part of the Qur'an is like a deserted house."
The allusion to deserted house has a subtle meaning,which is expressed by the proverb that "an idle man's brain is the devil's workshop (literally the demon gets hold of an empty house). Similarly a heart,devoid of Qur'an, gets more and more possessed by Satan.What an emphasis is there in this hadith for memorizing the Holy Qur'an, that the heart which has not secured it has been likened to a deserted house.
Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiyallaho anho)says:"In the house where the Qur'an is read,the household members increase,virtues and blessing multiply,angels descend upon them and Satan quits the house.Whereas the house in which Qur'an is not recited,life therein becomes straitened and devoid of blessing,angels leave the house and Satan ravages it."
Hadhrat Ibn Mos'ood (Radhiyallaho anho)and some others have reported Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallan)to have said that a deserted house is one in which the Holy Qur'an is not recited.

HADHRAT ABU HURAIRAH (Radhiyallaho anho )

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiyallaho anho) narrated that Rasullullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said."Learn the Qur'an and recite it,because the example of one who learns the Qur'an,reads it and recites it in Tahajjud (salaat late after midnight) is like an open bag full of musk,the fragrance whereof spreads over the entire place,and a person who has learnt the Qur'an but sleeps while the Qur'an is in his heart,is like a bag full of musk but with its mouth closed." It means that the example of one who learns the Qur'an and cares for it and recites it in Tahajjud salaat is like that of a musk-container which,if opened,fills the whole house with its sweet smell. In the same way ,the entire house is lit up with divine ligh and blessings due to the recitation by the hafiz. Even if the hafiz remains a sleep or does not recite through his negligence,the Qur'an in his heart is in any case the musk. This negligence resulted in the loss that others were deprived of the blessings of Qur'an,but his heart dose,in any case,contain the musk of Qur'an.

ABU MUSA ( RADHIYALLAHO ANHO )

 Hadhrat abu Musa ( Radhiyallaho anho )narrated that Rasulullah ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam )said :
"The example of a mo'min ( beliver ) eho reads the Qur'an is like that of citron which has a pleasant
smell and a sweet taste. The example of a mo'min who does not read the Qur'an is like that of a date,
which has no smell, though its taste is sweet. The munafiq ( hypocrite ) who does not read the
Qur'an is the like a wild gourd, which has a bitter taste and no smell, and the munafiq who reads
the Qur'an is like a raihan ( sweetsmelling flower ), which is fragrant but has a bitter taste."
   In this hadith an abstract quality of reading the Glorious Qur'an, has been compared to concrete
objects in order to illustrate the difference between reading and not reading the Holy Qur'an.
Otherwise it is obvious that material objects of this world like citrons and dates cannot match the
sweetness and perfume of the Qur'an. There are, however, special points in this similitude, which
pertain to the deep knowledge of the Prophets and testify to the vast understanding of Rasulullah
( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ). Consider, for example, the citron, which gives flavour to the mouth,
cleans the stomach and stimulates digestion. These are the qualities specially associated with the
reading of the Qur'an since, fragrance in the mouth, internal purity and spirtual strength result from
reading the Qur'an. It also said that if there is citre in the house, no jinn can enter it.If it is true, then
such is the speciality of the Qur'an. Some physians say that citron stengthens the memory and it is

miswak, fasting and reding the Holy Qur'an strengthen the memory.
    In the book of Abu Dawood, it is mentioned at the conclusion of the hadith given above that a
good companion is like a person having musk. Even if you do not get musk, you will at least enjoy
its fragrance. An evil companion is like a person with a furnace, near whom, even if you do not get
blackened, you certainly cannot avoid the smoke. It is therefore, important that one should be very
careful in choosing hid companions, with whom he has to mix generally.

PROCEDURE TO WORK

  The most importan factor in the task of Tabligh is the manner and the method of approach,which
simply means to follow closely the lines adopted by the worthy Companions of the HolyProphet
( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) strictly in accordance with his teaching and practices.The method
 adoptrd by the Holy Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) was as follows:
      A jamaat or group of at least ten men should be formed. One of them should be selected" amir "
 ( leader ).They should get together in a mosque, make ablutions and offer tow * rakaat' nafil 'prayers.
 After this, all should supplicate together and beseech for Divine mercy, help and guidance for success in their efforts and remaining steadfast and resolute in their task of Tabligh.For all this time,
" Zikr " should be recited by all, and every precaution should be taken not to indulge in idle talk, On
reaching the plase for " Tabligh ",once again the " jamaat "should supplicate and beseech for
Allah Ta'ala's mercy and help in their mission. The place of Tabligh will be the vicinity of a mosque of the locality where the work is to be conducted. A part of the " jamaat " should be detailed to tour
the locality calmly, and quietly inviting people to the mosque, where " ta'leem, ( reading and teaching out of religious books ) should be in progress and later the " namaz " ( prayers ) of the time should
be offered. After this, one of the members of the " jamaat " should place before the people, in an
affectionate and calm manner,the inportance and urgency of reviving Islam in each and every Muslim
as ordained by Allah Ta'ala and the Holy Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ),giving out as simply as possible the cardinal points of Tabligh and the way to accomplish them Finally, the people should be persuaded, again in a cordial manner, to join hands in this sacred task and come out to bo
the work of Tablighg like the Jamaat itself.
        Later, some members of the " jamaat " may accompany the people to their homes, where
the womenfolk should also be addressed to do similar duty among women.
       They should be told to be regular in their daily prayers. All this should be done without
entering the privete portion of any hous. The women should also be told to strictly follow the
cardinal points of " Tabligh " in their daily life and observe " pardah " in accordance with the
" Shriat "
      After this all such people who may be prepared to join the work should be organized into
a separate " jamaat ", with and " amir " from among themselves. They should first be made to
 work under the guidance of the members of the original " jamaat ". The important point to
be remembered at this stage is that every person engaged on " Tabligh " must fully  obey his
" amir " and the latter, in turn, should ensure that his personal services and attention are
available to each and every member of his Jamaat. He must see to every person's welfare,
comfore, comforts and morale and, before taking any decision, he must consult all his
collegues.The following general  principles of the work of " Tabligh " should be carefully
at all times.

Contenu Hadhith

"Suffah" is the name of a particular raised platform in the Mosque of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) in Medina. It used to be occupieci by the poor Muslim muhajirin (Plural of muhajir-emigrant from Mecca to Medina) who are known as "Ashab-us-Suffah" (Men of Suffah). The number of these men varied from time to time: 'Allamah Suyuti (Rahmatullah alaih) has listed one hundred and one names and also written an independent book let about their names. But- han and Aqeeq were the two market-places for camels near Medina. The camel, more particularly a shr-camel having a fat hump, was a favourite of the Arabs. The expression "without sin" is significant. A thing can be acquired without labour either by extortion, through illegal inheritance (by forcefully taking over the property of some relative) or by theft.Rasullullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) thus ruled out all such acquisitions. Acquiring a thing without any sin is certainly preferred by all, but much more valuable is the learning of a few ayaat.

Hadhrat Uqbah ibn Aamir (Radhiyallaho anho) has said:

Hadhrat Uqbah ibn Aamir (Radhiyallaho anho) has said: "Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) came to us while we were sitting on the Suffah and asked if any one of us would like to go to the market of But-haam or Aqeeq and fetch from there tow she-camels of the finest breed without commiting any sin or severing a tie of kinship. We replied that everyone of us would love to do so. Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) then said that going to the musjid and reciting or teaching two ayaat of the Qur'an is more precious than two she-camels, three ayaat are most precious than three she-camels, and that similarly reciting or teaching of four ayaat is better than four she-camels and an equal number of camels."..........continue
