| In the name of Allah The Merciful The Compassionate Allah is the turner of hearts. May Allah turn our hearts towards Iman. Amin. ---------------------------- What Anas Used to do When a Storm Approached Hadhrat Nadhr bin AbduAllah realates: " One day while Hadhrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him), was alive, it became very dark during the day time. I went to him and said, 'Did you ever see such a thing in the prophet's time?' He replied, 'I seek refuge in Allah! In those days if the breeze grew a little stronger than normal, we would rush towards the Masjid, fearing the approach of the last day.' " Hadhrat Abu Darda (May Allah be pleased with him)realates: " Whenever there was a storm, the Prophet (May Allah's peace be upon him and His Blessings) would get perturbed and go to the masjid. " Who thinks about going to the masjid, nowadays, even at the time of the worst of calamities? Leave aside the common people, even those who regard themselves as good and practising Muslims do not practice this Sunnah. What a deterioration! ---------------------------- The action of Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) at the Time of Solar Eclipse. The Sun once was in eclipse in the Prophet's (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) time. The Sahabah left their jobs. Even the young boys, practicing archery, hastened towards the musjid to know what the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) would do at that time. The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) started Salaat of two rakaat, which were so long that some people fainted and fell down. He wept in his Salaat and said: "0, My Lord! Thou has said that Thou ouldst not punish them as long as I am with them and so long as they seek Thy forgiveness." This refers to a verse in the Qur'an wherein Allah says: "But Allah would not punish them while Thou art with them, nor will He punish them while they seek forgiveness." (VIII-33) He then addressed the people saying: "You should hasten for Salaat whenever you happen to find the Sun or the Moon in eclipse. If you happen to know the signs of the Last Day as I do, then surely you would weep more and laugh less. In all such happenings, repair to Salaat; pray to Allah and distribute alms to the poor." ---------------------------- The Prophet's(Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) weeping the whole night: The Prophet once (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) kept weeping the whole night through, repeating again and again the following verse: "If Thou punish them, they art Thy slaves; and if Thou forgive them, Thou only art the Mighty, the Wise." (V:118) It is said about Imam Abu Hanifah (Rahmatullah alaih] that he also once wept the whole night, reciting the following verse of the Qur'an in Tahajjud: "But avaunt ye, 0, ye guilty, this day." (XXXVI: 59) This verse means that on the Day of Judgement, the guilty will be asked to separate themselves from the good, and will not be allowed to mix with them as they were doing in the worldly life. Why should not the people with fear of Allah in their hearts weep in anxiety regarding which class they will belong to on that Day? ---------------------------- |
