*EPISODE 1️⃣2️⃣: Stories of non-human living beings that loved the Prophet (ﷺ)*

*Date Palm Tree*


Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه): The Prophet (ﷺ) used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday. Then an Ansari woman or man said. *_“O Allaah’s Apostle! Shall we make a pulpit for you?”_* He replied, _*“If you wish.”*_ So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon). The date-palm cried like a child! The Prophet (ﷺ) descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quietened. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, *_“It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it.”_*


Ibn Umar (رضي الله عنه) narrated: _The Prophet (ﷺ) used to deliver his sermons while standing beside a trunk of a datepalm. When he had the pulpit made, he used it instead. The trunk started crying and the Prophet went to it, rubbing his hand over it (to stop its crying)._


Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه): _The Prophet (ﷺ) used to stand by a stem of a date-palm tree (while delivering a sermon). When the pulpit was placed for him we heard that stem crying like a pregnant she-camel till the Prophet got down from the pulpit and placed his hand over it._


These ahadeeth are classified as mutawaatir, meaning so many sahaba narrated it that it cannot be fabricated. The different narrations show that they all witnessed it in the masjid. This is a miracle of the Prophet (ﷺ), and the narrations of the sahaba are all authentic, found in Bukhari and Muslim. This tree trunk, which seems like a lifeless being to us, is actually alive and was so affected by the Prophet (ﷺ).

*Mount Uhud*


Narrated Anas (رضي الله عنه): Allaah’s Apostle (ﷺ) ascended the (mountain) of Uhud with Abu Bakr and ‘Uthman and it shook. Allaah’s Apostle (ﷺ) said, *_“Be calm, O Uhud!”_* I think he stroked it with his foot and added, *_“There is none on you but a Prophet, a Siddiq and two martyrs.”_*

(Sahih al-Bukhari)


The Prophet (ﷺ) was traveling one time: *_“and when Uhud was within sight, he said: This is the mountain which loves us and we love it.”_*

(Sahih Muslim)


This is a mountain, made up of rocks and stones, yet we are made of flesh and have been given hearts that beat…do we love the Prophet (ﷺ) as this mountain? Do we shake like this mountain out of love for him?

➖➖➖


*A Stone*


Jabir b. Samura (رضي الله عنه) reported Allaah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: *_“I recognize the stone in Mecca which used to pay me salutations before my advent as a Prophet and I recognize that even now.”_*

(Sahih Muslim: Book 030, Number 5654)


How often do we salute/send salawaat on the Prophet (ﷺ)? The Prophet knew this stone, and if we send salawaat on him, especially on Fridays, they will be presented to him from us.


_To be continued… إن شاء الله_

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
