EPISODE 10 (FINAL EPISODE)
27. Loving and Caring for Each Other for the Sake of Allah
The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) narrated that his Lord (ﷻ) said: “My love is guaranteed for two who love one another for My sake; My love is guaranteed for two who visit one another for My sake; My love is guaranteed for two who help one another (financially) for My sake; My love is guaranteed to two who uphold ties with one another for My sake.”
[Narrated by Ahmad, 4/236 and 5/236]
2️8️. Two or Four People (Muslims) Testifying to his Piety After his Death
Narrated Abu Al-Aswad (رضي الله عنه):
I came to Medina when an epidemic had broken out. While I was sitting with ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) a funeral procession passed by and the people praised the deceased. ‘Umar (رضي الله عنه) said, “It has been affirmed to him.” And another funeral procession passed by and the people praised the deceased. ‘Umar (رضي الله عنه) said, “It has been affirmed to him.” A third (funeral procession) passed by and the people spoke badly of the deceased. He(رضي الله عنه) said, “It has been affirmed to him.”
I (Abu Al-Aswad) asked, *“O chief of the believers! What has been affirmed?”
He replied, “I said the same as the Prophet (ﷺ) had said, that is: If four persons testify the piety of a Muslim, Allaah will grant him Paradise.” We asked, “If three persons testify his piety?” He (the Prophet) replied, “Even three.” Then we asked, “If two?” He replied, “Even two.” We did not ask him regarding one witness.*
[Sahih al-Bukhari 2/449]
Note: This has terms and conditions and it all depends upon the intentions. Allaah (ﷻ) alone knows if that person was pious or he merely did it to show off.
2️9️. Guarding One’s Tongue and Private Parts
Allaah’s Apostle (ﷺ) said;
“Whoever can guarantee (the chastity of) what is between his two jaw-bones and what is between his two legs (i.e. his tongue and his private parts), I guarantee Paradise for him.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 8/481]
3️0️. The Fair Leader, the Kind Hearted and the One who Refrains from Begging
The Prophet(ﷺ) said: “The inmates of Paradise are three: One who wields (executes) authority and is just and fair, one who is truthful and has been endowed with power to do good deeds. And the person who is merciful and kind hearted towards his relatives and to every pious Muslim, and one who does not stretch his hand (i.e begging) in spite of having a large family to support.”
[Sahih Muslim, Book 40, Hadith 6853]
Alhamdulillah, with this we have come to the end of the Shortcuts to Jannah series
May Allaah (ﷻ) clean our intentions and set us upon good and continue to allow us to be able to practice what has been learnt…
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
