Lessons from the Tremendous Character of the Prophet – from Busiri’s Hamziyya

Imam Busiri states: *.Every quality of his that you mention / He encompasses it in meaning; *.A master whose laughter was smiling, whose walking / was dignified & whose sleep was light; *.His character was but a sweet breeze / And his countenance but a rich garden; *.All mercy, determination, & resolve / With dignity, guardedness, & modesty; *.Hardship would never find him without patience / Not would joyous matters find him without dignity; *.His self was noble, so ill would / not occur to his heart, nor vileness; *.God’s blessings upon him were great / Making other great ones seem small; *.His people acted ignorantly with him and he overlooked / For the way of the forbearant is to overlook; *.He encompassed all creation in knowledge & forbearance / So he’s an ocean, unaffected by what they threw at him; *.He considered your world so paltry you can’t / Ascribe holding back to him, nor giving; *.A sun of virtue, conviction affirms that / he is the sun in rank and radiance.

Forgiveness Through Reading Salawat

A woman came to Sayyidina Hassan Al-Basri (rahimahu Llah) and said, My daughter passed away and now I wish to see her in my dream. Sayyidina Hassan (rahimahu Llah) told her, Offer four rakat Nafl after Isha and in each rakaat recite Surah At-Takasur (102). Then go to sleep while reciting Salawaat upon RasulAllah ﷺ until you fall asleep. The woman did so and narrated the dream to Sayyidina Hassan (rahimahu Llah) the next day. She said, I saw her in a bad state. She was wearing dirty robes. Her hands were tied and there were chains of fire around her feet. Sayyidina Hassan (rahimahu Llah) asked her to give sadqa and hope that her daughter’s affliction gets lessened. The following night Sayyidina Hassan (rahimahu Llah) himself saw a dream wherein he was in Jannah and there was a beautiful young girl on a throne dressed in magnificent clothes. She told him that she was the daughter of the woman who had visited him. Sayyidina Hassan (rahimahu Llah) told her, But your mother told me that she saw you in a bad state. The girl said, Indeed what she said was true. We were 70,000 souls who were afflicted with the torture of the grave until a pious person passed by us. He recited Salawat upon RasulAllah ﷺ dedicated it’s sawaab to us. And Allah accepted it in such a manner that we were freed from our tribulations and what you see now is due to barakah of that Durood Shareef. – Al-Qawl Al-Badee : Imaam Shams Ad-Deen Sakhaawi, p.234-235 –

This Time :Hazrat Ali ul Murtada Karamallahu wajhul kareem

This is a time, when brothers, o man, are not not brothers, When brothers all are unjust - they have two tongues and two faces. He meets you with a smiling face, but in his heart there is a disease which he secretly hides, Until you are out if his sight - then he throws after you falsehood and lies Such are the people of this time - there are not two are true in love. O man, live then your life alone, do not seek the company of other men. Live side by side with people, but keep yourself safe within house and walls.

Your Treasures

Know that your treasuries are full, for you have ears that hear, eyes that see, hands that grasp, feet that walk, a tongue that speaks, and a mind that thinks. Spend then of your hearing on the best of speech... As for your eyes, use them to look at the realms of the skies and the Earth... As for your hands, spend from them in assisting and supporting the weak.... As for your legs, use them to walk to the mosques... As for your tongue, use it to encourage people to do good and to stay away from evil, and to teach the Muslims... As for your mind, use it to contemplate the creations of God... You must, O brother in God, spend many precious breaths in the beholding of God, in His remembrance, and in the teaching of wisdom by speaking beneficial words. Know that the more you spend of your knowledge, the more God gives you of it. He who spends goodness from his limbs, God will bring down goodness on him, and the reward of the next life is greater... And know that you will not arrive at what the serious ones achieved until you make all of your limbs sources of pure goodness, and you are constantly aware of God's sight of you, and you teach yourself good manners, thus making your soul grow. - Shaykh Salih al-Ja'fari Summarised from Reassurance for the Seeker, commentary on Hadith 21: Charity
