Narrated Aishah RA, whenever the prophet ﷺ saw the rain, he used to say:

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَيِّبًا نَافِعًا

“O Allah! Let it be a strong fruitful rain.”

Sahih al-Bukhari (1032)

Abu Hurairah RA narrated that the prophet ﷺ said:

مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ, وَمَا زَادَ اَللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلَّا عِزًّا, وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ

“Sadaqah does not decrease property and Allah increases the honor of him who forgives and no one will humble himself for Allah’s sake except that Allah raises his status.”

Sahih Muslim (2588)

• Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.
• Forgive people so that perhaps Allah may forgive you.

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا

Maksudnya: ” Ya Allah, kurniakanlah jiwaku akan sifat taqwanya dan sucikanlah ia. Engkau lah sebaik-baik yang mensucikan. Engkau lah penjaganya dan pelindungnya. Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku berlindung kepadaMu daripada hati yang tidak ada rasa takut (kepadaMu) dan dari jiwa yang tidak rasa puas, ilmu yang tidak bermanfaat, dan doa yang tidak diperkenankan.”

Riwayat Muslim (2722)

Abu Huraira RA reported the prophet ﷺ as saying:

لاَ تَحَاسَدُوا وَلاَ تَنَاجَشُوا وَلاَ تَبَاغَضُوا وَلاَ تَدَابَرُوا وَلاَ يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا ‏.‏ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لاَ يَظْلِمُهُ وَلاَ يَخْذُلُهُ وَلاَ يَحْقِرُهُ ‏.‏ التَّقْوَى هَا هُنَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ وَيُشِيرُ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ‏”‏ بِحَسْبِ امْرِئٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَنْ يَحْقِرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ كُلُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ حَرَامٌ دَمُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعِرْضُهُ

“Don’t nurse grudge and don’t bid him out for raising the price and don’t nurse aversion or enmity and don’t enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is here, (and while saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour.”

Sahih Muslim (2564)

Rasulullah ﷺ pernah mengajar sahabat cara meruqyah diri sendiri.

Daripada Uthman bin Abi al-‘As RA meriwayatkan bahawa beliau pernah mengadu kepada Rasulullah ﷺ tentang kesakitan yang beliau rasa pada tubuh badan sejak beliau memeluk agama Islam. Maka Rasulullah ﷺ pun bersabda:

ضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي تَأَلَّمَ مِنْ جَسَدِكَ، وَقُلْ بِاسْمِ اللهِ ثَلَاثًا، وَقُلْ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ

Maksudnya: “Letak tanganmu pada bahagian badanmu yang sakit. Kemudian, bacalah Bismillah (Dengan nama Allah) sebanyak 3 kali dan bacalah 7 kali A’uzubillah wa qudratihi min syarri maa ajidu wa uhaazir (Aku berlindung kepada Allah dan kuasa-Nya daripada keburukan yang aku rasa dan aku berjaga-jaga ini).”

Riwayat Muslim (2202)

• Semoga Allah kurniakan kesihatan yang baik kepada kita semua.

Narrated Abu Musa RA, The Prophet ﷺ said:

مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَالسَّوْءِ كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ، فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً، وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً

“The example of a good pious companion and an evil one is that of a person carrying musk and another blowing a pair of bellows. The one who is carrying musk will either give you some perfume as a present, or you will buy some from him, or you will get a good smell from him, but the one who is blowing a pair of bellows will either burn your clothes or you will get a bad smell from him.”

Sahih al-Bukhari (5534)

Daripada Ibnu ‘Umar R.Anhuma, ia berkata, Di antara doa Rasulullah ﷺ :

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ

Maksudnya: “Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku berlindung kepadaMu daripada hilangnya kenikmatan yang telah Engkau berikan, dari berubahnya kesihatan yang telah Engkau anugerahkan, dari seksaMu yang datang secara tiba-tiba, dan dari segala kemurkaanMu.”

Riwayat Muslim (2739)

اللَّهُمَّ زِدْنَا وَلاَ تَنْقُصْنَا وَأَكْرِمْنَا وَلاَ تُهِنَّا وَأَعْطِنَا وَلاَ تَحْرِمْنَا وَآثِرْنَا وَلاَ تُؤْثِرْ عَلَيْنَا وَأَرْضِنَا وَارْضَ عَنَّا

Maksudnya: ” Ya Allah! Tambahkanlah buat kami dan jangan Engkau kurangkan. Muliakanlah kami, jangan hinakan kami. Berilah buat kami, jangan dicegahnya. Pilihlah kami, jangan Engkau biarkan dan redhailah kami dan redhailah pula semua usaha kami.”

Riwayat Al-Tirmizi (3173)

Narrated `Abdullah RA, The Prophet ﷺ said:

خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ قَوْمٌ تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ أَيْمَانَهُمْ وَأَيْمَانُهُمْ شَهَادَتَهُمْ ‏.‏

“The best people are those of my generation, and then those who will come after them (the next generation), and then those who will come after them (i.e. the next generation), and then after them, there will come people whose witness will precede their oaths, and whose oaths will precede their witness.”

Sahih al-Bukhari (6429)

• Why should we learn about the lives or Seerah of the prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his Companions?

1) It will help us connect to them and increase our love for them.
2) The companions of the Prophet were blessed to observe the practice of the Prophet directly, so they were able to embody and practice the faith to perfection.
3) Their lives were also lessons for us and a source of guidance.

• Teach them early, before there’s no more room in their heart.
