The reality of the virtuous
man
Then, who is the righteous man, O brothers? He is someone who:
·
Protects and supports Muslims and be their brother for
Allah's sake.
·
Doesn't seek interest or benefit from them, but he
does and wants rewards only from Allah.
·
Also his Muslim brother rewards the good deed by a
good deed for Allah's sake; both of them seek favor from Allah.
The prophet (May the
blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) explained this method in details in another
Hadith, he said:
"Whoever loves (someone) for Allah's sake, hates for Allah's sake,
gives for Allah's sake and prohibits for Allah's sake, he is a perfect
believer."[1]
So all his deeds are for Allah's sake, if he goes to visit a patient, he
should do this for Allah not to make the other visit him if he is ill, and if
he doesn't do, he gets angry with him and says: I visited you when you were
ill, why didn't you come to me when I'm ill? If he helped him and gave him ten
pounds for example, he says to him: Where are the ten pounds you owe me? You
should give it for Allah's sake, because you should help the needy patient,
when our sir the messenger of Allah visited a patient who wants certain types
of food, he asked him what he wanted and got it for him. This is what really
happened, but people have changed the acts of worship into habits, when someone
wants to visit a patient, he doesn't want to go without something, and he
should take something, what? A box of chocolates, could the patient eat
chocolates? Almost no, but if you see that he is needy and you want to help
him, you should give him some money, this is the perfect way.
If a group of people went to visit a patient and took five kilos of
oranges each, then everyday he has what is enough for him, his neighbors and
all his area. So it's better to give him an amount of money, but for Allah's
sake, I shouldn't write a list of what I gave to patients, Allah said in the
divine Hadith:
"I'm the most who can do without partners, whoever does anything
for me and for others, I won't accept it and it is for others."[2]
If you do something like this, then don't wait for grants from Allah.
The deed should be for Allah's sake, if someone got married and you gave him an
amount of money, it should be for Allah's sake, of course he should reward you
back better if he could, because Allah says:
"When you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return
with what is better than it or (at least) return it equally." (Surat
An'nesaa, verse 86)
But to go by myself to ask for what I had given, this is not correct; I
shouldn't ask anybody for anything except from Allah. A believer should train
himself so that all his movements, stillness, sayings and deeds are for Allah
and never wants rewards or thanks except from Allah.
Allah praised Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him and honor his
face) to know that this is what Allah loves, when he and his wife Sayeda Fatima
Az'zahraa vowed that they will fast three days for Allah if their sons
Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein are recovered from illness, Allah sent them when they
were fasting the three days guests who eat their food at sunset (the time of
breaking fasting), so Allah says about this:
"And they give food, in spite of
their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskeen (poor), the
orphan, and the captive."
(Surat Al-Insan, verse 8)
Then Allah showed the secret of loving their deed in their words:
"(Saying): We feed you
seeking Allah's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you."
(Surat Al-Insan, verse 9)
Our sir Ali used to work by his arms for wage, Islam urges this, a
Muslim should work; the prophet encouraged him to do this. One day he worked
for a Jewish woman, she had a well and she wanted to irrigate her land, so she
called our sir Ali to irrigate it and she told him that she would give him a
date for every bucket he got out of the well, the well was deep, the water was
far and the rope was harsh. Our sir Ali got fifteen buckets and took fifteen
dates and went to Sayeda Fatima, then the messenger of Allah entered, he
praised him and asked him to give him from these dates he got by the labor of
his hand.
It was narrated that the messenger of Allah said:
"No man ate food better than eating from his hand's labor and the
prophet of Allah Dawood was eating by his hand's labor."[3]
Our youths now want to find treasures, they resort to thieves and
swindlers who take their money and ask them to dig here and there and say there
is still fifteen meters, there is still twenty meters and suddenly escape
leaving everything as it is. Where are the treasures? This is cheat and theft.
This happens because every one of our youths wants to be a millionaire in a
moment, how it comes?
You should follow the way of truthful and righteous people and those who
strive hard everywhere even among the enemies of Islam.
