Ihyaaud Deen An Effort to Revive Deen in Totality
عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما أنه سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول إذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثل ما يقول ثم صلوا علي فإنه من صلى علي صلاة صلى الله عليه بها عشرا ثم سلوا الله لي الوسيلة فإنها منزلة في الجنة لا تنبغي إلا لعبد من عباد الله وأرجو أن أكون أنا هو فمن سأل لي الوسيلة حلت له الشفاعة (صحيح مسلم، الرقم: ٣٨٤)
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that he heard Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saying, “When you hear the muazzin call out the azaan, then repeat the words of the azaan after him and thereafter recite Durood upon me (before reciting the dua of azaan). Verily, whoever recites Durood upon me once, Allah Ta’ala sends ten blessings on him. Then (recite the dua after the azaan in which you) supplicate to Allah Ta’ala to bless me with the honour of ‘waseelah’ which is a lofty position and rank in Jannah which will be exclusively granted to one of Allah Ta’ala’s special servants. I earnestly hope that I am granted that position, and whoever supplicates to Allah Ta’ala to grant me the ‘waseelah’, he will receive my intercession on the day of Qiyaamah.”
The love of Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) for Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)
A person once asked Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), “How much of love did the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) really possess for Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)?”
Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) replied, “I take a qasm on Allah Ta‘ala! Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was more beloved and dearer to us than our riches, our children and our mothers, and his company was more cherished than a drink of cold water at the time of the severest thirst.”(Ash-Shifaa 2/52)
