بَابٌ فِي فَضْلِ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَصِفَتِهِ وَمِثْلِهِ
Chapter on the virtue of the believer, his description, and his likeness
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 155 — on the virtue of the believer
عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَخَذَ بِيَدِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي: ((يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ! إِنَّ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ يَلِينُ لِي قَلْبُهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took my hand and said to me: "Abu Umamah! Indeed, there are some believers whose hearts become (very) soft for me."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The ranks of the believers are different; some are very quick to obey and hasten towards goodness and virtue, while in some others the desire for this is less. The statement of Allah, the Exalted, is: {ثُمَّ اَوْرَثْنَا الْکِتَابَ الَّذِیْنَ اصْطَفَیْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا فَمِنْھُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِہٖ وَمِنْھُمْ مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَّمِنْھُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَیْرَاتِ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰہِ} … Then We caused those whom We chose from among Our servants to inherit the Book; but of them are some who wrong themselves, and of them are some who are moderate, and of them are some who, by Allah’s permission, race ahead in good deeds. (Surah Fatir: 32)
