LOVE ALLAH’S CREATIONS: 19

THE WILL OF HAZRAT IMAM ABU HANIFAH RE

Hazrat Imam Abu Hanifah RE wrote a will for his pupils. In that will he wrote that “if you have to buy and sell something then give the other person more than his due. Do not give them less than what is due to them.” This is a Sunnah (practice) of the Holy Prophet ﷺ.  These days we have memorized some Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ and by following those we start believing that we are his true followers, even though all the practices that have been mentioned above are part of his Sunnah. We must follow these Sunnah too. May Allah Ta’alah help us follow all of the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ. (Ameen) Referring to this particular Sunnah, in the following Hadith the Holy Prophet ﷺ said that “whoever gives relaxation to a poor person in this world, Allah Ta’alah will grant him relaxation both in this world and the Hereafter”.

True comfort is the comfort of the next world. Also, experience tells us that a person who gives relaxation to other people remains safe from many hardships in this world as well.
