19th Hadith
Of The Forty Hadith
On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, who said :
One day I was behind the prophet and he said to
me:
"Young man, I
shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be
mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be
mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front
of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek
help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation
were to gather together to benefit you with
anything, it would benefit you only with something
that Allah had already prescribed for you, and
that if they gather together to harm you with
anything, they would harm you only with something
Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens
have been lifted and the pages have dried."
narrated by Termithi, who said it is true and fine
hadith
In a version other than that of Tirmithi it reads:
"..Be mindful of Allah, you will find Him before
you. Get to know Allah in prosperity and He will
know you in adversity. Know that what has passed
you by was not going to befall you; and that what
has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And
know that victory comes with patience, relief with
affliction, and ease with hardship." |
