THE UNIQUENESS AND SPECIALTY OF THE NOBLE PROPHET (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam) The Final Part 5 By Ahmad Tijani Mubarak THE PROPHETS HOUSEHOLD ARE THE BEST The households of the noble Prophet (SAW) has been ranked as the best of all households in various parts of the holy book. Allah Said: Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow... (Q33:21) O wives of the noble Prophet (SAW)! You are not like any other women... (Q33:32) And it is not (right) for you that you should annoy Allahs Messenger, nor that you should marry his wives after him (his death). Verily, With Allah that shall be an enormity. (Q33:53) This is another unique quality reserved for the best mankind ever. For every other men, their wives are re-marriageable after their death or divorced but for the noble one, its not accepted or permitted. Another unique feature of the Prophets households is that on the day of Resurrection, every individuals are going to be raised naked except the Muazin (The Caller to Prayer). Allah has promised the Prophet (SAW) that him (SAW) and his households will not be raised naked on that day. THE MOST TRUTHFUL, MOST TRUSTWORTHY AND MOST GENEROUS Of course Its not a news the fact that the noble Prophet (SAW) was and still the all time most trustworthy man the earth can always be proud of ever accommodated. He was well known as AL-AMEEN (The Trustworthy One) by both the believers and the unbelievers. Hadhrat Ali ( R.A.) told that Allahs Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam owed some dinars to so-and-so, a Jewish doctor, who demanded payment from the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. When he told him, I have nothing to give you, O Jew,. He replied, I will not leave you, Muhammad, till you pay me. Allahs Messenger said, I shall sit with you, then, and did so. Allahs Messenger prayed the noon, afternoon, sunset, night and morning prayers, and his Companions were threatening and menacing the man, Allahs Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam being aware of what they were doing. Then they said, Messenger of Allah, is a Jew keeping you in restraint? To which he replied, My Lord has prevented me from practicing injustice with one whom a covenant has been made, or anyone else. Then when the day was advanced, the Jew said, I testify that there is no deity but Allah; I testify that you are Allahs Messenger; and half of my property will be devoted to Allahs path. I swear by Allah that my only purpose in treating you as I have done was that I might consider the description of you given in the Taurah : Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, whose birth place is in Makkah, whose place of migration is in Taiba, and whose kingdom is in Syria; he is not harsh or rough, or loud voiced in the streets, and he is not characterized by coarseness or lewd speech. I testify that there is no deity but Allah, and I testify that you are Allahs Messenger. Give a decision about this property of mine according to what Allah has shown you. The Most Generous Prophet (SAW) The Prophet (saw) was the most generous amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel visited him, and Gabriel used to meet him on every night of Ramadan till the end of the month. The Prophet (saw) used to recite the Holy Quran to Gabriel, and when Gabriel met him, he used to be more generous than a fast wind (which causes rain and welfare). The Most Generous who embraces people into Islam with Wisdom The mercy of the merciful Prophet!! A Bedouin came to Rasul Allah and told him, Give me from what Allah gave you, not from the wealth of your mother nor from the wealth of your father. The Sahaabah were furious at the man and step forward to discipline him for what he said. Rasul Allah commanded everyone to leave him. Then by the hand, Rasul Allah took him home, opened his door and said, Take what you wish and leave what you wish. The man did so and after he completed, Rasul Allah asked him, Have I honored you?Yes, by Allah,said the Bedouin. Ash hadu an laa ilaaha illa Allah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadar Rasul Allah. When the Sahabah heard of how the man changed, Rasul Allah taught them. Verily the example of myself, you and this Bedouin is that of a man who had his camel run away. The towns people tried capturing the camel for him by running and shouting after the camel, only driving it further away. The man would shout, Leave me and my camel, I know my camel better. Then he took some grass in his hand, ruffled it in front of the camel, until it came willingly. By Allah, had I left you to this Bedouin, you would have hit him, hurt him, he would have left without Islam and eventually have entered hellfire. SubhanALLAH!!
