Keeping the Rewards of the Hereafter in mind

Once, a person asked Hazrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (Rahmatullahi Alaih) something related to Hadhrat’s domestic life for the benefit of gaining a lesson. After Hadhrat responded, the person then asked forgiveness for posing such a question. Hazrat Thanwi (Rahmatullahi Alaih) replied, “No, you have not caused me any grief or pain.” Hadhrat then mentioned: ‘Alhamdulillah Allah Ta’ala blessed me with such a mindset through which I am not hurt or grieved through people asking me questions relating to Deen. I say to myself that I will be greatly rewarded by Allah Ta’ala through advising the person in matters of Deen.’ (Malfoozaat Hakeemul Ummat 10/ 280)
