اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ
Maksudnya: “Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku berlindung kepada Engkau dari kedukaan dan kesedihan, dari sifat lemah dan malas, dari sifat pengecut dan bakhil, dari bebanan hutang dan penindasan manusia.”
Sahih al-Bukhari (6369)
The Tabi’in are those who lived after the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and who did not personally encounter him. Instead, they interacted with and learned from the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
(Tabi’ al-Tabi’in) Individuals who followed the Tabi’in are individuals who encountered the Tabi’in and gained knowledge from them rather than the Companions of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ.
The one who first encountered the Companion is known as the Tabi’i in hadith terminology, although the accurate interpretation does not require that he should have spent a lot of time with him. Everyone who interacted with the Companions and passed away as a Muslim is a Tabi’in, albeit some are more deserving than others.
Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi said: The Tabi‘in is the one who met the Companion. From the words of al-Hakim, it may be understood that the name Tabi‘in may be applied to the one who met the Companion and narrated from him, even if he did not spend time with him.
Example of Tabi’in is: Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib, ‘Urwah ibn az-Zubayr, al-Hasan al-Basri, Muhajid ibn Jabr, Sa‘id ibn Jubayr, ‘Ikrimah the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbas, and Nafi‘ the freed slave of Ibn ‘Umar.
Al-Bukhari (3651) and Muslim (2533) narrated from Ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The best of people are my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come people whose testimony will come before their oath, and their oath before their testimony.”
Sunnah holds a significant place in Islam. It refers to the way of life and actions practiced by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , who serves as a role model for Muslims. Sunnah teaches us how to live a good and righteous life according to the teachings of our faith.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ not only delivered Allah’s message in the form of the Quran but also demonstrated a virtuous life through his actions and words. His actions, whether big or small, are emulated by Muslims as a means to draw closer to Allah.
For instance, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ showed how to perform prayers, give charity, interact with others, and behave ethically in all aspects of life. What he did and said serves as a good guide for us to follow.
Sunnah isn’t just about actions; it also encompasses the noble way of living and morals exemplified by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. For instance, he emphasized the importance of honesty, compassion, and kindness towards all of Allah’s creations.
Following the Sunnah helps us become better human beings and better Muslims. It also helps us draw closer to Allah. By following the example of Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alaihi Wasalam), we learn how to be kind to ourselves, our families, and our communities.
Knowing and following the Sunnah is a part of our faith as Muslims. It guides us to live in a way that is filled with religious and moral values. When we practice the Sunnah, we also honor and remember the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who guided humanity to the right path.
Therefore, as Muslims, we are encouraged to study and practice the Sunnah in our daily lives. This is not only a means to draw closer to Allah but also to become good examples for others. By following the Sunnah, we show respect and love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, strengthen our faith, and deepen our relationship with Allah.
It is good to remember a verse in Surah Ali Imran , 31:
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If you ˹sincerely˺ love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
Daripada Abu Hurairah RA berkata, Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda:
انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَا تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لَا تَزْدَرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ
Maksudnya: “Lihatlah orang yang lebih rendah daripada kamu dan janganlah kamu melihat orang yang lebih tinggi darjatnya daripada kamu, itulah yang lebih baik supaya kamu tidak merendah-rendahkan nikmat Allah yang dikurniakan kepada kamu”.
Riwayat at-Tirmizi (2513)
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)
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)
Salam, or peace, is a universal concept that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries. It’s not just a mere greeting, but a profound expression of goodwill, harmony, and respect. Whether you’re in the bustling streets of a metropolis or a serene village, the act of giving salam has the power to create a positive ripple effect in our lives and the lives of those around us.
Spreading Positivity:
Have you ever noticed how a sincere salam brightens up someone’s day? Your greeting can have a domino effect – the person you greeted with salam might pass it on to the next person they meet, creating a chain reaction of positivity. This contagious goodwill has the potential to create a more harmonious and joyful atmosphere in our communities.
Breaking Barriers:
Salam breaks down barriers not only between individuals but also between different societal groups. It’s a gesture that transcends religion, ethnicity, and nationality. By sharing salam with people from diverse backgrounds, we’re actively participating in building a more inclusive world. This simple practice contributes to breaking down stereotypes and dispelling prejudices.
Hadith:
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose Hand is my life! You will not enter Jannah until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I inform you of something which, if you do, you will love one another? Promote greetings (Salam) amongst yourselves.” [Muslim].
In Conclusion:
The practice of giving salam holds immense value in our lives. It’s a powerful tool for promoting understanding, unity, and empathy. By embracing this tradition, we can contribute to a world where peace is not just a distant ideal, but a tangible reality we experience daily. So, whether you’re in a crowded market or at a family gathering, remember the magic of salam , a small word that holds the potential to make a big difference.
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)
