What the Prophet said Friday, 07 October 2011 04:27
Man’s Growth
The son of Man groweth and with him grow two things - the love of wealth and love of long life.
“Who is the best man?” Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) replied:
“He is the best man whose life is long and whose actions are good.” “Then who is the worst man?” “He whose life is long and whose actions are bad.
Marriage
Marriage is incumbent on all who possess the ability.
A woman may be married by four qualifications: one on account of her money; another, on account of the nobility of her pedigree; another on account of her beauty; the fourth, on account of her virtue. Therefore, look out for a woman that hath virtue: but if you do it from any other consideration, your hands be rubbed in dirt.
Meanness
Shall I tell you the very worst among you? Those who eat alone, and whip the slaves, and give to nobody.
Mishaps
Whatever mishap may befall you, it is on account of something which you have done.
No misfortune or vexation befalleth a servant of God, small or great, but on account of his faults committed: and most of these God forgiveth.
Modesty
True modesty is the source of all virtues.
Modesty and chastity are parts of the Faith.
Meekness and modesty are two branches of Iman; and vain talking and embellishing are two branches of hypocrisy.
All kinds of modesty are best.
Mothers
Heaven lieth at the feet of mothers.
“O Messenger of God! Verily I have done a great crime; is there any act by which I may repent?” He said, “Have you a mother?” “No,” said the questioner. “Have you an aunt?” asked the Prophet. He said, “Yes, I have.” The Prophet said, “Go, do good to her, and your crime will be pardoned.”
I and a woman whose colour and cheeks shall have become black from toiling in the sun shall be near to one another in the next world as my two fingers; and that is a handsome widow, whose colour and cheeks shall have become black in bringing up her family.
