واعلم أن الأُمة لو اجتمعت على أَن ينفعـوك بشيء، لم ينفعوك إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله لك، وإن اجتمعوا على أن يضروك بشيء، لم يضروك إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله عليك، رفعت الأقلام وجفت الصحف رواه الترمذي “Know that if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you– you would never…

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، – وَهُوَ عَمُّ إِسْحَاقَ – قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذْ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَامَ يَبُولُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَهْ…

عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ثلاث مهلكات شح مطاع، وهوى متبع، وإعجاب المرء بنفسه (رواه البزار والطبراني) In the lines of Rasoolullah’s (sall Allahu alaihi wa sallam) sayings and how he perceived others, are a million lessons on personality and nature. Reading ahadeeth with faith and…
