Chapter

Visiting the Pious Persons, loving them and adoption of their company

قال الله تعالى ( الكهف 60 - 66 ) : {وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَى لِفَتَاهُ لا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَمْضِيَ حُقُبًا } إلى قوله تعالى {قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى هَلْ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُعَلِّمَنِي مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا }
وقال تعالى ( الكهف 28 ) : { وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ }
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his boy-servant: `I will not give up (travelling) until I reach the junction of the two seas or (until) I spend years and years in travelling''' (up to) "... Musa (Moses) said to him (Khidr): `May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allah)?". (18:60-66)
"And keep yourself (O Muhammad (PBUH)) patiently with those who call on their Rubb (i.e., your companions who remember their Rubb with glorification, praising in prayers, and other righteous deeds) morning and afternoon, seeking His Pleasure.'' (18:28)

360 - قال أبو بكر رضي الله عنه ، بعد وفاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، لعمر : انطلق بنا إلى أم أيمن نزورها . كما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يزورها . فلما انتهينا إليها بكت . فقالا لها : ما يبكيك ؟ ما عند الله خير لرسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم . فقالت : ما أبكي أن لا أكون أعلم أن ما عند الله خير لرسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم . ولكن أبكي أن الوحي قد انقطع من السماء . فهيجتهما على البكاء . فجعلا يبكيان معها .. (1)
360. Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: After the death of Messenger of Allah (PBUH), Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) said to `Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) : "Let ,s visit Umm Aiman (May Allah be pleased with her) as Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to visit her". As we came to her, she wept. They (Abu Bakr and `Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) said to her, )What makes you weep? Do you not know that what Allah has in store for His Messenger (PBUH) is better than (this worldly life)?'' She said, "I weep not because I am ignorant of the fact that what is in store for Messenger of Allah (PBUH) (in the Hereafter) is better than this world, but I weep because the Revelation has ceased to come". This moved both of them to tears and they began to weep along with her.
[Muslim].
Commentary: Umm Aiman (May Allah be pleased with her) belonged to Ethiopia and was a slave-girl of the Prophet's father (`Abdullah bin `Abdul-Muttalib). After the death of `Abdullah, Umm Aiman (May Allah be pleased with him) remained with the Prophet's mother, Amnah, and took great care in his upbringing. Subsequently, the Prophet (PBUH) set her free and then she was married to Zaid bin Harithah (May Allah be pleased with her) This Hadith holds justification for weeping over the death of the pious and also shows that it is desirable to visit such persons to whom one's friends go to pay respect. The incident mentioned in this Hadith also shows the love that the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) had for him

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه
عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم :
[ أن رجلا زار أخا له في قرية أخرى . فأرصد الله له ، على مدرجته ، ملكا .
فلما أتى عليه قال : أين تريد ؟
قال : أريد أخا لي في هذه القرية . قال : هل لك عليه من
نعمة تربها ؟ قال : لا .
غير أني أحببته في الله عز وجل .
قال : فإني رسول الله إليك ، بأن الله قد أحبك كما أحببته فيه].(1)

361. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "A man set out to visit a brother (in Faith) in another town and Allah sent an angel on his way. When the man met the angel, the latter asked him, "Where do you intend to go?'' He said, "I intend to visit my brother in this town.'' The angel said, "Has he done any favour to you?'' He said, "No, I have no desire except to visit him because I love him for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, and Glorious.'' Thereupon the angel said, "I am a messenger to you from Allah (to inform you) that Allah loves you as you love him (for His sake)"
[Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith points out the following:
1. The great merit of visiting Muslims for Allah's sake.
2. The bond of brotherhood in Islam is much stronger than the bonds of blood relationship and worldly interests and, therefore, comes before them in preference.
3. Whoever loves someone for Allah's sake, Allah will love him in a manner that suits His Majesty.

وعنه رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم :
[ من عاد مريضا أو زار أخا له في الله ناداه مناد : بأن طبت وطاب ممشاك وتبوأت من الجنة منزلا ](1)
362. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "Whosoever visits an ailing person or a brother of his to seek the Pleasure of Allah, an announcer (angel) calls out: `May you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you be awarded a dignified position in Jannah".
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: This Hadith highlights the merit of visiting the sick and Muslim to gain the Pleasure of Allah.

وعن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه
أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال :
[ إنما مثل الجليس الصالح والجليس السوء ، كحامل المسك ونافخ الكير . فحامل المسك ، إما أن يحذيك ، وإما أن تبتاع منه ، وإما أن تجد منه ريحا طيبة . ونافخ الكير ، إما أن يحرق ثيابك ، وإما أن تجد ريحا خبيثة ] مسلم
[ يحذيك ] : يعطيك
363. Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying, "The similitude of good company and that of bad company is that of the owner of musk and of the one blowing the bellows. The owner of musk would either offer you some free of charge, or you would buy it from him, or you smell its pleasant fragrance; and as for the one who blows the bellows (i.e., the blacksmith), he either burns your clothes or you smell a repugnant smell".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith enjoins that one should sit in the company of the pious persons and avoid the impious ones because the former has the quality of a perfume seller and the latter of a blacksmith. In the association of pious men, one stands to gain all the time and ultimately becomes like them. In bad company one is out-and-out a loser and can never hope to gain any benefit from them.

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله
عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال :
[تنكح المرأة لأربع : لمالها ولحسبها ولجمالها ولدينها فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك ] (1)
ومعنى ذلك : أن الناس يقصدون في العادة من المرأة هذه الخصال الأربع فاحرص أنت على ذات الدين واظفر بها واحرص على صحبتها
364. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "A woman is married for four things: for her wealth, for her lineage, for her beauty or for her piety. Select the pious, may you be blessed!".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: Only a pious woman is in the true sense faithful and obedient to her husband of good conduct. Such a couple not only lead a happy life but its future generation is also brought up on the right lines with the help of such a woman. The women of the remaining three types are generally a source of trouble for their husbands and spoil their future generations. For this reason, while selecting a wife, one should give preference to religion over all other qualities.

وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال:
قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم لجبريل صلى الله عليه و سلم :
[ ما يمنعك أن تزورنا أكثر مما تزورنا ؟ ]
فنزلت : { وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ } ( مريم 64 ) . (1)
365. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said to Jibril (Gabriel), "What prevents you from visiting us more frequently?'' Thereupon was revealed the Ayah: "(The angels say:) `And we (angels) descend not except by the Command of your Rubb. To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between those two". (19:64)
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: This Hadith tells us about the Prophet's desire for meeting angel Jibril (Gabriel) to have that knowledge which was revealed to him by means of Wahy (Revelation).
It also tells us that angels descend to earth for certain mission by the Command of Allah. They have no say of their own in any matter. It also indicates that it is permissible to enquire about Muslim brothers after a long period of time as this is a sign of true love.
