اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ قَالَ دَفَنْتُ ابْنًا لِي وَإِنِّي لَفِي الْقَبْرِ إِذْ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فَأَخْرَجَنِي فَقَالَ أَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ قَبَضْتَ وَلَدَ عَبْدِي قَبَضْتَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنِهِ وَثَمَرَةَ فُؤَادِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا قَالَ قَالَ حَمِدَكَ وَاسْتَرْجَعَ قَالَ ابْنُوا لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَسَمُّوهُ بَيْتَ الْحَمْدِ
Abu Sinan says: I buried my son, and while I was still in the grave, Abu Talha took hold of my hand and pulled me out of the grave and said: Shall I give you glad tidings? I said: Yes, why not. He said: Dahhak bin Abdur Rahman narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty said: O Angel of Death! Have you taken the soul of My servant’s child? Have you taken the coolness of his eyes and the love of his heart? He says: Yes. Allah Almighty says: Then what did My servant say? He said: He praised You and recited “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.” Allah Almighty said: Then build for him a house in Paradise and name it Bayt al-Hamd (the House of Praise).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is understood that upon hearing news of a trial or calamity, one should recite this supplication: "Alhamdulillah, Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un."
Ibn Hisbah or Abu Hisbah narrates from a Companion who was present at the time of the address of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Do you know who is 'Raqoob' (childless)?" The people said: "The one who does not have children." He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "He is completely 'Raqoob', he is entirely 'Raqoob', but the true 'Raqoob' is the one who dies in such a state that he does have children, but he has not sent any child ahead (i.e., has not raised any child to do good deeds that benefit him after death)."
Then he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Do you know who is 'Su'look' (poor and destitute)?" The people said: "The one who does not possess wealth." He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "He is completely 'Su'look', he is entirely 'Su'look', but the true 'Su'look' is the one who, despite being wealthy, dies in such a state that he has not sent any wealth ahead (i.e., has not spent in charity for the Hereafter)."
Then he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Do you know who is the great wrestler?" They said: "The one who throws others down." He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "The true wrestler, the greatest wrestler, is the person who, when anger overtakes him, and his anger becomes intense, his face turns red and his hair stands on end, yet he restrains his anger."
