اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَالِثٍ) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ ثَلَاثَ حَصَيَاتٍ فَوَضَعَ وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ وَضَعَ أُخْرَى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَرَمَى بِالثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالَ هَذَا ابْنُ آدَمَ وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ وَذَلِكَ أَمَلُهُ الَّتِي رَمَى بِهَا
(The third chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, took three pebbles. He placed one below, one in front of him, and threw the third away. Then he said: This is the son of Adam, and with him is his death lying close, and the pebble that was thrown away is his hopes.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The summary of the discussion is that a person should strive and continue to work according to the legitimate demands of the time he is passing through, and should not let the requirements of Islamic teachings be affected; otherwise, blessings will be removed.
Keep in mind that the true capital of a Muslim is religion (deen); wealth, riches, and government or dominion are also granted to disbelievers. Yes, yes, the establishment of a Muslim state, even the Caliphate, is necessary; an army, police, scientists, engineers, doctors, factories, industries, educational institutions, and so on—all these things must be arranged according to the needs of the present age. However, all these matters are according to the needs of the time; the real capital is religion, everything else is secondary. In cases of necessity, it is possible to manage without the secondary matters, but it is not possible to manage without the essential (deen); otherwise, loss in eternal life will be inevitable.
