This is from the Qadr of Allaah, and He does whatever He wills.

Inspirations come from true stories. Relying on lies and made up stories is not from our deen, even if they appease us.

Hafs Ibn ‘Aasim said: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “It is sufficient that a man has lied who narrates everything that he hears.”

[Reported by Imaam Muslim in the introduction to his Saheeh. Imaam Muslim also quotes another chain on the authority of Hafs bin `Aasim from Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It was also reported in Sunan Abu Dawood (4992) and authenticated by Shaikh al-Albaanee.]

The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) [Bukhari (12/41) and Muslim (9/140)]

thevisionofislam:

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“Whoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Resurrection. And whoever alleviates the need of a needy person, Allah will alleviate his needs in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever shields [or hides the misdeeds of] a Muslim, Allah will shield him in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah will aid His slave so long as he aids his brother. And whoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. No people gather together in one of the Houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that sakeenah (tranquility) descends upon them, and mercy envelops them, and the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them amongst those who are with Him. And whoever is slowed down by his actions, will not be hastened forward by his lineage.”

Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (radhiAllahu ‘anhu) reported:

“I requested the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon him) to teach me a supplication which I could recite in my Salat (prayer). Thereupon he said,

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا وَلاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، وَارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

‘O Allah! I have considerably wronged myself. There is none to forgive the sins but You. So grant me pardon and have mercy on me. You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Compassionate’”

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, “A believer is not stung twice from the same hole.

‘Abdullaah said: “The Messenger of Allah (Peace & Blessings of Allah be upon Him) said:

Hell will be brought forth that day by means of seventy thousand ropes, each of which will be pulled by seventy thousand angels.”

— [Reported by Muslim. Hadeeth No. 2842] (via diaryofamuslim)

(via praise-allah)

By Shaykh ‘Abdul Muhsin Al-‘Abbad

[Translated by Abdulilah Lahmami]

It has been established that the Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

“Whoever calls to guidance will have the reward similar to all those who follow him without their reward diminishing in any way and whoever calls to misguidance, he will have the sins similar to all those who follow him without their sins decreasing in any way.” 

[Saheeh Muslim (4/2060)]

Commentary:

This noble hadeeth primarily necessitates a great portion and fortune for the Companions because they are the ones that took this guidance and light from the Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)  and passed it on to those after them. So all those that benefited from it, the Companions (radiAllahu anhum) will have reward similar to theirs until Allaah inherits the earth and those upon it. 

Yet before them, the Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), (since) he came with this good and this guidance, Allaah will reward His Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) with the same reward as He gives to all those who were guided, entered the religion of Allaah and did good deeds, without their reward decreasing in any way. This is because the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is the one who called the people to this guidance. He has the same reward of all those who benefited from it due to him, may Allaah’s blessing be upon him.  

The Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)  will have a great portion and fortune from that reward for they are the ones who obtained this guidance and passed it on to those after them. They are the ones who collected the Qur’an. They are the ones who memorised it. They are the ones who passed it on to those who came after them. Those who obtained the Sunnah of the Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), May Allaah be pleased with them. They passed it on to those who came after them thereby gaining much reward and recompense. They will receive a great reward and a great fortune from the call of the Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

HADITH OF THE DAY: “Abdullah b. Amr b. al-‘As reported that he heard Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
Verily, the hearts of all the sons of Adam are between the two fingers out of the fingers of the Compassionate Lord as one heart. He turns that to any (direction) He likes. Then Allahs Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: O Allah, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to Thine obedience.” [Muslim]
