152 THE UVES OF THE SAHABAH ~~ (Vol-2)<br />
The Narration of Hadhrat Abdur Rahmaan bin <br />
Saabit and Others About the Advice that Hadhrat <br />
Abu Bakr ®~~ gave to Hadhrat Umar ®.~~ <br />
Before his death <br />
Hadhrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Saabit,Hadhrat Zaid bin zubayd bin Haarith and<br />
Hadhrat Mujaahid all report that when death approached Hadhrat Abu Bakr<br />
!@~, he summoned Hadhrat Umar ~~ and said, "Fear Allaah, 0 UmarI<br />
Take note that Allaah has some acts (owing to Him) during the night that He<br />
does not accept during the day and some acts (owing to Him) during the day that<br />
He does not accept during the night. Also note that Allaah does not accept Nan<br />
acts until the Faraa'idh are fulfilled. The scales of those with heavy scales on the<br />
Day of Qiyaamah have only be<strong>com</strong>e heavy because they have always followed the<br />
truth in this world and have had high regard for it. It is also the right of a scale in<br />
which the truth is placed tomorrow that it should weigh heavily. On the other<br />
hand, the scales of those with light scales on the Day of Qiyaamah have only<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e light because they have always followed falsehood in this world and<br />
have made light of it. It is also the right of a scale in which falsehood is placed<br />
tomorrow that it should weigh lightly. Where Allaah has made mention of the<br />
people of Jannah, He has mentioned the best of their deeds and overlooked their<br />
sins. Whenever I think of them, I say, 'I fear that I may never join them.' Wherever<br />
Allaah has also made mention of the people of Jahannam, He has mentioned<br />
them by the worst of their actions and rejected their good deeds. Whenever I<br />
think of them, I say, 'I fear that I may be from amongst them.' Allaah has<br />
mentioned verses of mercy and verses of punishment so that Allaah's servant<br />
should be<strong>com</strong>e hopeful (of Allah's mercy) and fearful (of His punishment). Never<br />
entertain false hopes in Allaah (by continuing with sin in the hope that you<br />
would be forgiven) but also never lose hope in Allaah's mercy. Never throw<br />
yourself into destruction by the doings of your own hands. If you remember this<br />
advice of mine, there will never be an unseen thing more beloved to you than<br />
death, which will certainly <strong>com</strong>e to you. However, if you put it to waste, there will<br />
never be an unseen thing more hated to you than death, which you will never be<br />
able to escape." (1)<br />
