In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The life of the predecessors between words and deeds
Condolences and relief of distress
On the authority of Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, he said
People will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection as naked as they had ever been
The thirstiest they have ever been
And set up what they never were
Whoever clothes himself for the sake of God, God will cover him
And whoever feeds God, He will feed him
And whoever waters for God, He will water for him
Whoever works for God, God will enrich him
A man came to Al-Hussein bin Ali, may God be pleased with him
He asked him to go with him if he needed something
He said: I am in seclusion
Al-Hasan bin Ali, may God be pleased with him, came and informed him
Al-Hassan said
If he walked with you in your need
I love it more than a month of seclusion
Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, said
Because I fulfill a Muslim's need
I love more than praying a thousand rak'ahs
When Umm Saleh died, may God have mercy on her
Wife of Ahmed bin Hanbal
Ahmed, may God have mercy on him, said to a woman with them
Go to so-and-so, my cousin
And propose to me of her own accord
He said, “I came to her and she answered.”
When she returned to him, she said:
Her sister was hearing your words
He said it was with one eye
She said yes
He said, “Go and propose to the one-eyed woman.”
So I went to her and she answered
She is Umm Abdullah
Ibrahim bin Adham, may God have mercy on him, said
Generosity, generosity, generosity and sympathy are gone
Whoever does not console people with his money, food and drink
Let him console them with a happy face and good manners
Do not be overwhelmed by your wealth
You are arrogant towards your poor
And do not lean towards your weak ones
And do not treat your poor people
The predecessors’ care for the poor and needy
Aslam said
One night I went out with Omar, may God be pleased with him, to the outskirts of the city
Falah had a verse of poetry for us, so we went to it
And there was a woman in labor and crying
Omar asked her about her condition
She said, “I am a strange woman.”
And I don't have anything
Omar cried
He ran back to his house
He said to his wife, Umm Kalthum bint Uri bin Abi Talib
Do you have a time that God will guide you to?
And he told her the news
She said yes
He carried flour and lard on his back
A mother like garlic carried what was suitable for childbirth and came
Then a mother like garlic entered the woman
Omar sat with her husband talking
And he doesn't know him
The woman gave birth to a boy
She said, "Umm like garlic."
O Commander of the Faithful!
Give good news to your friend about a boy
When the man heard what she said
This became serious and he began to apologize to Omar
Omar said: There is no problem with you
Then he paid them money and what would be best for them, and left
Aslam said
We went out with Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, to Harra and stay
Even if we were burning, then there was fire
And he said
Oh Aslam
I see her here riding
Night and cold shortened them
Go with us
So we went out jogging until we got close to them
Then, there was a woman with two young boys
A pot set on fire
And her boys are fussing
Omar said
Peace be upon you, O people of light
And he hated to say it
O companions of fire!
She said: Peace be upon you
Adno said
She said: Do I do well or leave?
He came and said
What's wrong with you?
She said
Night and cold limited us
He said
What's wrong with these boys?
She said
Hunger
He said
Anything in this amount
She said
What he did to silence them until they fell asleep
God is between us and Omar
And he said
That is, may God have mercy on you
Omar does not know how much
She said
Omar takes care of us
Then he ignores us
He said
So he approached me and said
Go with us
So we went out jogging until we came to the flour house
So he brought out a handful of flour and a handful of lard
And he said
Carry it on me
So I said
I carry it for you
He said
You will bear my burden on the Day of Resurrection
So I carried it on me
So he went and I went with him to go jogging
So he threw it at her
He took out some of the flour
So he started telling her
Leave a comment on me and I will move you
And he started blowing under the pot
Then put it down
And he said
I want something
She brought him a newspaper and he emptied it into it
Then he told her
I feed them and I roof for them
He continued until they were satisfied
And he left the rest of that
He rose and I rose with him
So she started saying
May God reward you
I was more worthy of this matter than the Commander of the Faithful
And he says
Say good
If you come to the Commander of the Faithful
You found me there, God willing
Then he stepped aside from her
Then he met her and lay down
So we told him
We have a different matter
He doesn't talk to me
Until I saw the boys collapsing
Then they fell asleep and calmed down
And he said
Oh Aslam
Hunger kept them awake and made them cry
So I wanted not to leave until I saw what I saw
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, went out in the dark of the night
Talha saw him
So Omar went and entered a house
Then he entered another house
When Talha became
He went to that house
Then he saw an old woman, blind and crippled
He said to her
Why is this man coming to you?
She said
He has been dating me for so-and-so since
He brings me what works for me
And the harm comes out of me
Talha said
Your mother bereaved you, Talha
Omar's missteps follow
Salman Al-Farsi, may God be pleased with him, used to work with his hands
If he hits something
He bought meat or fish with it
Then he calls the lepers
And they eat with him
A poor man came blind
To Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him
People crowded around him
So he called out
O Abu Abdul Rahman
I have reduced the lords of shame and Yemen
You excluded me because I was poor
And he said to him
Come closer
He did not stop at me
Until I sat him next to him and close to him
Abdullah bin Omar, may God be pleased with them both
He does not eat food unless his brothers are an orphan
Jaber bin Zaid, may God be pleased with him, said
Because I give a dirham in charity to an orphan or a poor person
I love more than one Hajj after the Hajj of Islam
The value of Bakr bin Abdullah’s clothes, may God have mercy on him
Four thousand
He used to sit with the poor and needy and talk to them
He says they like it
He was Ali bin Hussein, may God have mercy on him
If the beggar gives charity
He kissed it and then handed it to him
Zubaid Al-Yami, may God have mercy on him
If it is a rainy night, take a torch
He went around the old women of the neighborhood
He said: I will give you a house. Do you want fire?
In the morning, he went around the old people of the neighborhood
Do you have a need or want something in the market?
The Hijabah of the Sacred House of God wrote to Omar bin Abdul Aziz, may God have mercy on him
To order the house to be covered
As those before him did
So he wrote to them
I thought I would put this in hungry livers
They are more worthy of that than the house
On the authority of Al-Marwadhi, he said:
I have never seen a poor person in a more honorable gathering than in the gathering of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, may God have mercy on him
He was leaning toward them
Neglecting the people of the world
Weapon life
Between words and action
