Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

1240. Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, "When any one of you is observing Saum (fasting) on a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise the voice; and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him he should say: `I am observing fast.'''
(Bukhari and Muslim)

Commentary: We learn from it that during Saum not only food, drink and sex are prohibited but the improper use of the tongue and the other organs of the body as well. When one is observing Saum, he should neither use abusive language nor talk foolishly nor tell lies nor make obscene conversation nor indulge in backbiting nor quarrel with anyone. If someone provokes him, he should keep himself quiet and remember that he is observing Saum and he has to abstain from such things. As far as possible, he should keep his tongue engaged in the remembrance of Allah and recitation of the Qur'an.

Asalam ualaykum,

125. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) relates that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: “Iman (faith) has over seventy branches, the uppermost of which is the declaration: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’; and the least of which is the removal of harmful object from the road, and modesty is a branch of iman.”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

Commentary:
1. This hadith tells us that from the standpoint of practice, faith has several stages. It also tells that faith and practice are inseparable.
2. It also makes evident the importance and excellence of bashfulness because it induces a person to good deeds and deters him/her from evils.

Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

803. Hazrat ‘Amr bin Shuaib (R.A.A.) relates on the authority of his father and grandfather, that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: ‘Allah is pleased to see the effect of His blessing on His servant.’
(Imam Tirmizi has reported this tradition, which he says is authentic.)

Commentary: A simple dress is commendable if one wears it as a gesture of humility wining Allah's Pleasure. Yet, to zealously pursue the goal of goodness, to extend a helping hand to the indigent and the needy, to behave favourably towards one's relatives and to wear a fine dress as a manifestation of Allah's Favours are equally good acts of high merit. A fine dress is not impeachable in itself but it becomes so, if worn with an air of arrogance and self-importance. On the other hand, an expression of Divine bounty makes it praiseworthy. In other words, it is the intention which makes an act good or bad. Alongside the practice of the example of Messenger of Allah (PBUH), the sincerity of action and making right intention, therefore, become indispensable.
