Wealth...Wealth...and Wealth

Al Salam Alaikum wa Rahmat Allah wa Barakatoh

وعن أبي هُريرة رضي الهُ عنهُ أن رجلاً قال: يا رسول الله إن لي قرابة أصلهم ويقطعُوني، وأحسن إليهم ويُسيئون إليّ ، وأحلمُ عنهم ويجهلون عليّ! فقال :" ((لئن كُنتَ كما قلتَ فكأنما تُسفهم المل، ولا يزالُ معك من الله تعالى ظهيرٌ عليهم ما دُمتَ على ذلك)) رواه مسلم.

This is a saying of Prophet Mohammad -peace and blessings of Allah are upon him- when a man of the followers came to complain about his relatives and how they were mistreating him even though he was so patient with them.  He said:  O...Messenger of Allah I have relatives that "أصلهم" which means not only visiting them, but doing all the duties towards them, but in return, they "يقطعوني" which means they don't visit me or give me my rights. 

Besides, I do well for them, but they react badly with me.  Further, I keep forgiving them for any harm or mistake they do, but they do the opposite with me.  So, what did our Prophet say?!  He said:  If that was the case, so, as if you are "تُسفهم المل" which means as if you are feeding them hot ash, and when you keep on that good behavior, there will be a supporter, helper from Allah with you and against them, as long as you keep on that good manner. 

This topic is a long one but I want to add one more thing about it which is also a saying of our Prophet -peace and blessings of Allah are upon him- when he said:

"ليس الواصل بالمكافئ، ولكن الواصل الذي إذا قطعت رحمه وصلها"

Meaning: 

The one who is really considered as "الواصل" (i.e. the one who visits his/her relatives and do the obligations towards them) is not the one who will visit or will do whatever good things for his/her relatives in return to their visits to him/her.  But the real "الواصل" is the one when his/her relatives don't do their obligations towards him/her (i.e. they don't visit him/her, they don't do any good to them, they don't forgive them, etc...), what he/she will do as a reaction of all these kinds of mistreatment?!  He/ she will just do the opposites (i.e. they will visit them, they will do all the good for them, they will respect and forgive them, etc...).

Really....Really...Really...I thank Allah that I'm a Muslim, and I'm really proud to be a Muslim....Every single aspect of my life is shown clearly to me even before the creation of the seven skies and the seven earths...Al Hamdolellah.
