Mukhtasar Muslim

´Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that` I used to invite my mother to Islam and she was a polytheist. One day I asked her to accept Islam, but she said something about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that I disliked. I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) weeping and said, "I used to invite my mother to Islam but she would not accept. Today she said something about you that I disliked, so please supplicate to Allah that He may guide the mother of Abu Hurairah." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "O Allah! Guide the mother of Abu Hurairah." I left, happy with the supplication of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). When I reached home and arrived at the door, it was closed. My mother heard the sound of my footsteps and said, "Wait a moment." I heard the sound of water falling; in short, my mother performed ghusl, put on her shirt, quickly covered herself, then opened the door and said, "O Abu Hurairah! I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the servant and Messenger of Allah." Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) weeping with joy and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Rejoice, Allah has accepted your supplication and guided the mother of Abu Hurairah." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) praised Allah, mentioned His attributes, and spoke good words. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, that He may place love for me and my mother in the hearts of the Muslims, and their love in our hearts." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "O Allah! Place the love of Your servants, that is, Abu Hurairah and his mother, in the hearts of the believing servants, and place the love of the believers in their hearts." After that, no believer was born who heard me or saw me except that he loved me.
