*40 Hadīths For Children With Stories*
*Episode 11: The Belt*
Nihat was a very naughty child. He used to hurt his brothers. He was always quarrelling and was very rude. His behaviour upset his mother terribly. She would always advice him.
"Dear, don't hurt other people's feelings. Don't say rude things to people."
But Nihat would never admit that he was wrong. He would say:
"It's not my fault. I haven't done anything wrong. They made me angry, which made me behave like that."
One day his mother told him that if he didn't quarrel with anyone until evening she would buy him a belt that he had seen in a shop window. He really wanted that belt.
His brothers overhead what his mother had said and tried to pick an argument with him. But they couldn't make him angry; Nihat had decided to control himself for once.
In the evening his mother called him:
"I see that you can control yourself for a belt. You should do this for Allāh, as this is what He ordered, not for simple, material things."
If only someone had told Nihat the following Hadīth:
من ترك المر اءوهومحق بني له في وسط الجموع
رواه الترمذي
*"I guarantee that anyone who does not fight even when provoked, shall be given a mansion in Paradise."*
*[At-Tirmidhi]*
Source of the Hadīth: Tirmidhi, Kitāb al-Birr, Hadīth Number 58.
*Pearls Of Motivation*
The truth is no matter how lonely you are, you’re never alone. Almighty ALLĀH is always near. Very near. He knows what you’re going through. He is aware of everything. So when everyone has abandoned you, seek comfort in Him, knowing that He is always there.
