204 THE LIVES OF THE SAHABAH @,@&3 (Vol-3) The Fervour that the Sahabah @L%B% had for Knowledge The Statement Hadhrat Mu'aadh ~,Gw Made on his deathbed about his Fervour for Knowledge - When he was on his deathbed, Hadhrat Mu'aadh bin Jabal asked the people to see whether dawn had broken. When they reported that it had not yet come, he again sent them to see. After this happened several times, they eventually reported to.him that dawn had broken. To this, he said, "I seek Allaah's protection from the night followed by a morning that takes one to Jahannam. I welcome death with open arms. It is that long absent visitor and a friend in need. 0 Allaah! While I had always been afraid of You, today I long to meet You. 0 Allaah! You know well that I never loved this world or to live long here to dig canals or to plant trees. I loved it only for the thirst in the extreme afternoon heat (when fasting), for enduring times of hardship and to sit on my knees when associating with the Ulema in gatherings of knowledge." ('I The Fewour that Hadhrat Abu Dardaa %~~ had for Knowledge - Hadhrat Abu Dardaa 9UW once said, "Had it not been for three things, 1 would have loved to be no longer in this world. When asked what the three things were, Hadhrat Abu Dardaa said, " (The first is)Placing my head on the ground before my Creator in Sajdah during the hours of day and night so that it is sent ahead (as rewards) for my (true) life (in the AakhTEh+-(The second is) Enduring thirst during hot afternoons (while fasting) and (the thira is) sitting with people who choose their speech as carefully as you choose your fruit." The narration continues further. The Fervour that Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas BG5mj had for Acquiring Knowledge Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas W@!2i says, "When Rasulullaah @% passed away, I said to an Ansaari friend of mine, 'The Sahabah are plenty in number. Come. Let us learn from them.' 'I am astonished at you, 0 Ibn Abbaas!' he said, 'Do you think that people will need you (to learn from) when so many of Rasulullaah W ' s senior Sahabah i@GWS are amongst them?' I left that as it were and proceeded to learn from the companions o f sulullaah k%#. When I heard that a Hadith was narrated by someone, I would go to his door and if he was having his siesta, I would roll up my shawl there and use it as a pillow. (As a I waited there) The wind would blow sand on me and when the man came out, he would ask, 'What brings you here, 0 cousin of Rasulullaah &%!? Why did you not send for me and I would have come to you?' I would then say to him, 'No. It (I) Abu Nu'aym in his Hi&a (Vol.1 Pg.239).
