Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai Arifi

Sacrifice/selflessness

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) is reported to have told Hadrat Abu Bakr (Radi Allahu Ta’ala An hu): “Abu Bakar (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) there are three things all of which are true:

  1. no one is wronged and ignores it for the sake of ALLAH who is great and glorious without ALLAH giving him great help for it:
  2. no one begins to give intending thereby to unite ties of relationship without ALLAH providing him with much more because of it ;
  3. and no one will begin to beg seeking there by to gain abundance without ALLAH giving him still more scantiness because of it”. [Ahmad, Mishkat]
