[IslamCity] Fwd: Hadith

[ali rizwan]

Narrated Abu Hazim: I heard Sahl bin Saad saying, "A woman brought a Burda (i.e.
a square piece of cloth having edging). I asked, 'Do you know what a Burda is?'
They replied in the affirmative and said, "It is a cloth sheet with woven
margins." Sahl went on, "She addressed the Prophet and said, 'I have woven it
with my hands for you to wear.' The Prophet took it as he was in need of it, and
came to us wearing it as a waist sheet. One of us said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Give
it to me to wear.' The Prophet agreed to give it to him. The Prophet sat with
the people for a while and then returned (home), wrapped that waist sheet and
sent it to him. The people said to that man, 'You haven't done well by asking
him for it when you know that he never turns down anybody's request.' The man
replied, 'By Allah, I have not asked him for it except to use it as my shroud
when I die." Sahl added; "Later it (i.e. that sheet) was his shroud."

Source: Sahih Al Bukhari (Volume 3, Hadith# 306)

The person wanted to have the sheet for his shroud because he hoped that Allah
will show mercy towards him after death as he is covered in a sheet that was
worn by the Prophet. We can also hope for the same by dressing ourselves with
the lifestyle of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as his simple lifestyle is the
most beloved to Allah.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} 
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
 
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] 

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." 
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
