Ihyaaud Deen An Effort to Revive Deen in Totality
عن أوس بن أوس قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: إن من أفضل أيامكم يوم الجمعة فيه خلق آدم وفيه قبض وفيه النفخة وفيه الصعقة فأكثروا علي من الصلاة فيه فإن صلاتكم معروضة علي قال: قالوا: يا رسول الله وكيف تعرض صلاتنا عليك وقد أرمت يقولون بليت فقال: إن الله عز وجل حرم على الأرض أجساد الأنبياء (سنن أبي داود، الرقم: 1047، وقال الحاكم في مستدركه، الرقم: 1029: هذا حديث صحيح على شرط البخاري ولم يخرجاه وأقره الذهبي)
Hazrat Aws bin Aws (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Among the best of your days is the day of Friday. On Friday, Aadam (‘alaihis salaam), was created, on Friday, he passed away, on Friday, the trumpet will be blown, and on Friday, the creation will fall unconscious, so increase your Durood upon me on the day of Friday as your Durood is presented to me.” The Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) enquired, ‘O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! How will our Durood be presented to you, whereas your body will have decomposed in the grave?’ Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, ‘Indeed, Allah Ta’ala has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of the Ambiyaa (‘alaihis salaam).’”
The Love of Hazrat Zaid bin Dathinah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) for Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)
When the disbelievers were about to execute the great Sahaabi, Hazrat Zaid bin Dathinah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), they asked him, “Would you be happier if Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was in your place and you were left free to be with your family?”
His spontaneous response was, “By Allah Ta’ala, I cannot even bear that I be sitting comfortably with my family while even a thorn is pricking Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).” On hearing this, Abu Sufyaan remarked, “There is no parallel anywhere in the world to the love which the companions of Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) have for him.” (Seerah Ibnu Hishaam 2/172)
