Bas Tumhare Hi Naqshe Qadam Ke Liye

Noore Shaahe Najaf Mere Khwaja Piya

Tere Chaukhat Pe Waliyo Ne Sajda Kiya

Khaaliqe Do Jahaan Se Ye Rutba Mila

Tere Darbaar Faizo Karam Ke Liye

Shaahe Ajmer Mera Maseeha Hai Tu

Dard Mandoon Ke Dukh Ka Madaawa Hai Tu

Teri Nisbat Ka Daaman Rahe Haath Me

Bas Dawaa Hai Yahi Ranjo Gham Ke Liye

Thaam Na Haath Aye Sayyade Meherbaan

Hai Tera Kaam Khwaja Khata Poshiya

Laaj Rakhna Fana Ki Moine Jahaan

Hashr Me Tajdaare Haram Ke Liye

Hadith on Salat, Paradise and Hazrat Abu Bakr

Hadiths on Salat, Paradise and Hazrat Abu Bakr

Once The Holy Prophetﷺ said: "Whoever is among the people of prayer will be called to Paradise from the door of prayer. Whoever is among the people of jihad will be called from the door of jihad. Whoever is among the people of sadaqah will be called from the door of sadaqah. Whoever is among the people of fasting will be called from the door of Fasting." During this discousre, Hazrat Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه asked " Ya RasoolAllahﷺ, Is there anyone who will be called from all the doors of Jannah? For which Rasool e Kareemﷺ said; “Yes O Abu Bakr, and I hope that you will be amongst them.”

Some pearls from this Hadees.

1. Syyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه was given the glad tidings of Paradise by The Holy Prophetﷺ in this world, thus knowing the destiny of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه 

2. All the doors of Jannah do recognize and love those Noble people.

3. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه believed that ALLAH has bestowed His Habeeb ﷺ the knowledge all the people and their final abodes.

4. Even the wishes and the nature of the voice of the Doors of Paradise are apparent to Nabi e Kareemﷺ.

5. Sahaba of Nabi e Kareemﷺ didn’t object on the question of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه thus having the same belief on the Ilm ul Ghayb of Nabi e Kareem ﷺ.

6. By recording this Hadees, Imam Bukhari and other Masters of Hadees too agree on Ilm ul Ghayb of Nabi e Kareemﷺ

7. Those who deny the above facts are away from the Path of Sahaba and of Awliya, thus away from the essence of Imaan.

May ALLAH protect our Imaan by the Waseelah of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه

22 Sacred Hadtihs narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (Radi Allahu Anhu)

22 Sacred Hadtihs narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (Radi Allahu Anhu)

Imam Abu Zakariya Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi (Alayhir Rahmah) said in his Tahzib: “Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (Radi Allahu Anhu) related one hundred and forty-two (142) Ahadith. The reason for the small number of his narrations given the precedence of his companionship and his staying close to the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) was that he passed away before the spread of hadith and the concern of the followers for listening to them, acquiring them and memorising them.”

Twenty-two (22) of his narrated Ahadith are presented here with respect to the date of His departure from this mundane world i.e. 22nd Jumad al-Akhir. Read, try to memorize and share!

2. Whosoever harms a believer or plots against him is cursed. [Jami’ Tirmidhi, Vol. 3, Page 378, Hadith 1948]

3. The siwak (miswak) cleans the mouth and pleases Allah. [Musnad Ahmad, Vol. 1, Page 186, Hadith 7]

4. There is no man who commits a sin then he performs ablution and does it well, then he prays two Rak’ah, and seeks the forgiveness of Allah, but Allah will forgive him. [Musnad Ahmad, Vol. 1, Page 179, Hadith 2]

5. Whosoever forges a lie against me intentionally or rejects something I have ordered then let him take up his abode in hell-fire. [Mu’jam al-Awsat, Vol. 2, Page 149, Hadith 2838] 

6. Whosoever’s feet become dusty in the way of Allah, Allah will forbid them from (entering) the Fire. [Musnad al-Bazzar, Vol. 1, Page 77, Hadith 22] 

7. If the people of the paradise had traded, they would have traded in cloth. [Musnad Abi Ya’la, Vol. 1, Page 104, Hadith 111]

8. Sayyiduna Musa (Alayhis Salam) asked Allah Almighty, “What is the recompense for whosoever consoles a mother bereaved of her child?” Allah Almighty said, “I will grant him the shade of my mercy when there will be no other shade.” [Kanz al-Ummal, Vol. 8, Page 277, Hadith 42606]

9. Do not neglect to seek refuge from the shaytan, for if you do not see him, he is not unaware of you. [Musnad al-Firdous, Vol. 5, Page 47, Hadith 7414]

10. Whosoever records some knowledge or a hadith from me, reward will not cease being recorded for him as long as that knowledge or hadith remains. [Kanz al-Ummal, Vol. 5, Page 79, Hadith 28947]

11.  People will not abandon jihad but that Allah will envelop them in punishment. [Mu’jam al-Awsat, Vol. 4, Page 184, Hadith 3839]

12. Whosoever would like that Allah grant him protection from the boiling of Jahannam, and that He may place him under the shade of His divine mercy, then let him not be tough on the believers, and let him be compassionate to them. [Shu’ab al-Iman, Vol. 7, Page 538, Hadith 11260]

13. No Prophet has ever tasted death until a man of his ummah led him in prayer. [Musnad al-Bazzar, Vol. 1, Page 55, Hadith 3]

14. Allah has not made a prophet taste death except at the location in which He would love to be buried. [Jami’ Tirmidhi, Vol. 2, Page 329, Hadith 1018] 

15. Whoever rises in the morning intending obedience towards Allah, Allah will record for him the reward of his day even if he disobeys Him. [Musnad al-Firdous, Vol. 3, Page 566, Hadith 5773] 

16. Protect yourselves from the Fire even if it were with (giving) the half of a date, because it straightens that which is crooked, repels an evil death, and it stands with the hungry one in its stead with the satiated one. [Musnad Abi Ya’la, Vol. 1, Page 86, Hadith 85]

17. The space between my house and the Minbar (pulpit) is an orchard from amongst the orchards of Paradise and my minbar is upon one of the fountains of the Jannah. [Musnad Abi Ya’la, Vol. 1, Page 109. Hadith 118]

20. Increase in sending blessings (Salawat) upon me, for Allah has appointed for my grave an angel; so that when a man of my ummah sends blessings, that angel will say to me, “So-and-so the son of so-and-so has this very hour sent blessings upon you.” [Musnad al-Firdous, Vol. 1, Page 494, Hadith 2181] 

21. The heat of Jahannam will only be for my ummah like the heat of the hot baths. [Mu’jam al-Awsat, Vol. 6, Page 354, Hadith 6603]
