Who goes first?
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet collected every two martyrs of Uhud (in one grave) and then he would ask, "Which of them knew the Quran more?" And if one of them was pointed out for him as having more knowledge, he would put him first in the Lahd. The Prophet said, "I will be a witness on these on the Day of Resurrection." Then he ordered them to be buried with their blood on their bodies and he did not have them washed.

Before people were honoured according to the knowledge of Islam but sadly today, people are honoured according to the knowledge of this material world.
May Allah give us the ability to appreciate those who excel in the knowledge of Islam.

Abu Hurairah narrates: Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) once asked us: Who is fasting today? Abu Bakr said: I am. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who followed a bier today? Abu Bakr said: I did. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who fed a poor man today? Abu Bakr replied: I did. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: who visited a sick person today? Abu Bakr replied: I did. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) then said: Anyone in whom these good deeds are combined will certainly enter Paradise.

Allahu Akbar! Abu Bakr (RA) invested all his energy, wealth and worries for the deen of Islam. Thus, he has reached the highest level of honour after the Prophets. May Allah also give us the ability to invest most of our time, wealth and energy for Islam.

Giving it away
Uqbah (RA) has narrated that he offered his 'Asr' salah with Rasulullah (SAW). At the end of salah Rasulullah (SAW) hastily got up and, stepping over the shoulders of the people, went to the houses of one of his wives. People, not knowing what the necessity was, were perplexed over his haste. On his return he perceived the people's anxiety and explained that he had suddenly remembered leaving behind a piece of gold in the house and he was afraid (lest his death should take place while he owned a piece of gold; which would become objectionable for him on the Day of Judgement). So, he had hurried home to tell them to distribute it immediately.

A Miracle of the Prophet
Imran bin Husain (RA) narrates that the companions of the Prophet (SAW) submitted to him their grievence about thirst during a journey. The Prophet (SAW) got down from his conveyance and ordered Ali (RA) and another person to go and serch for water. "So, they went accordingly. They met a woman possessing two small water-skins contaning water. They brought her to the Prophet (SAW).
The Prophet (SAW) caused a pot to be brought and poured in it the water of both the water-skins and asked the companions to drink from it. Imran (RA) stated: "We, the forty thirsty men drank water from it very well and we filled all our pots and water-skins with water. I swear by Allah Almighty that the water-skins (of the woman) seemed to be full with water than before."

It is stated on the authority of Abdullah bin Masood that the unbelievers of the Quraish had installed 360 idols in Ka'bah so strongly that their feet were fixed with lead. When Makkah was conquered and the Prophet (SAW) entered the Holy Ka'bah, he had a stick in his hand. With it, he started pointing towards the idols and reciting this verse: Truth has (now) arrived, and falsehood perished (Surah Al Isra:81). The idol, to which the Prophet (SAW) pointed on its front, fell down to its rear side and the idol, to which he pointed from its rear side, fell down flat on its front side.

Hadrat Abu Huraira (RA) is reported to have said that once he, in the company of the Holy Prophet (SAW), joined a funeral. When the Holy Prophet (SAW) reached the graveyard, he went to a grave and told that there was not a single day that the grave did not make the clear announcement. "Oh, the offspring of Adam! you have forgotten me, I am the place of solitude and I am the abode of loneliness, I am a lodging of much straitened provided the Almighty expands me in the case of a person whom He holds in esteem. After that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said: The grave is either one of the gardens of Paradise or one of the pits of hell.

Hadrath Ibn Abbas narrates: Holy Prophet (SAW) asked Umm Hani if there was anything to eat. Umm Hani (RA) said that there was only dry bread and she felt ashamed of offering it to him. He said: "No! Bring it." He broke the bread into pieces, dipped them into water and added some salt. Then he asked her if there was any curry. She said there was nothing except vinegar. He sent for it and then, sprinkling it over the crumbs, ate them and thanked Allah.

Allahu Akbar! How thankful our Prophet was to Allah even after getting such type of food. We now a day’s throw away better food than this.

Sahl ibne Sa'd (RA) narrates: Once a person passed by Rasulullah (SAW), (and) he asked someone sitting with him: What do you think of the passerby? He replied: He is among the respected of the society; and by Allah! If he proposes to a woman, he will be married; should he recommend something, his recommendation will be accepted. Rasulullah (SAW) kept his peace (silence). Then, another person passed by, and Rasulullah (SAW) asked (the man sitting with him, again): What is your opinion about this man? He answered: O Rasulullah! He is a poor of Muslims. If he proposes (for marriage), it will not be accepted; should he recommend (something), his recommendation will be rejected; and if he speaks, nobody will pay heed. Rasulullah (SAW) said: This man (the poor Muslim) is better than a whole world (full) of the like of that (the first one).

Abu Umamah (RA) narrates: Rasulullah (SallalahualaihiWasalam) said: Whoever stands up to perform his Wudhu, intending to offer Salah, then cleans his hands; the sins of his two hands fallout with the first drop of water. Then, when he rinses his mouth, and draws water into his nose and expels it; the sins of his tongue and two lips fallout with the first drop of water. Then, as he cleans his face, the sins of his hearing and seeing fallout with the first drop (of water). Then, when he cleans his two arms past the elbows, and his two feet past the ankles; he becomes free of all his offences and sins, just as was his state, the day his mother gave him birth. He (then) said: Then, when he stands for Salah; Allah elevates his position, and if he (merely) sits (without standing for Salah) even then his sitting is free of sins!

We take bath regularly to clean our body of dirts, but how many of us offer regular prayers daily to clean the real dirts (sins)?

Amr (RA) narrates that Prophet (SAW) one day delivered a sermon saying: Listen carefully! The world and its things are temporary commodity (and as such have no worth and value), shared and consumed by both the good and the evil people alike! Indeed, the Hereafter is truly a reality and will arrive at its appointed time in which Judgement will be made by a Powerful King. Listen carefully! Indeed all good, in all its varieties, is in Paradise! Indeed all evil, in all its varieties, is in the Fire. Understand it well; whatever you do, do it being fearful of Allah; and understand that you will be presented (in front of Allah) with you actions. Whosoever does an atom's worth of good, he will see it, and whosoever does an atom's worth of evil, he will see it!
