Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai Arifi

Eeman to be followed by action

Once Hadrat Abu Zar (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) asked “O ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) tell us about some act which goes with belief.” He replied “Give out of that which Allah has given to you to others.” I asked “Oh Allah’s Messenger if one is himself a pauper.” He said, he should enjoin what is good. He was asked, “what he should do if he can not speak.” He replied “Help the accused.” He was asked, “what he should do if he is so weak that he can not help anyone.” He said “he should do the job of one who can not do anything.” He was asked what he should do if he did not do that, and he replied that he should refrain from oppressing other.
