1066 Allah gives enough rope to the sinful. They grow and multiply, and become scornful. Neither suffering nor affluence<br />

teaches them the lessons which they are meant to learn, viz., patience and humility, gratitude and kindness to others.<br />

They take adversity and prosperity alike as a matter of chance. "O yes!" they say, "such things have happened in all<br />

ages! Our fathers had such experience before us, and our sons will have them after us. Thus goes on the world for all<br />

time!" But does it? What about the decree of Allah? They are found napping when Nemesis overtakes them in the<br />

midst of their impious tomfoolery! (7.95)<br />

7:96 - If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah We should indeed have opened<br />

out to them (all kinds of) blessings from heaven and earth; but they rejected (the truth) and We<br />

brought them to book for their misdeeds.<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 1884 Narrated by<br />

Aisha<br />

During the illness of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) she had six or seven dinars holding to him which he ordered her<br />

to distribute, but she was kept busy ministering to his suffering. He asked her what had happened to the six or seven dinars,<br />

and when she replied she had done nothing about them because she had been kept busy ministering to his suffering, he<br />

called for them, and placing them in his hand he said, "What would Allah's Prophet think if he were to meet Allah, who is<br />

Great and Glorious, while possessing these?"<br />

Ahmad transmitted it.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 3883 Narrated by<br />

AbudDarda'<br />

I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say: If any of you is suffering from anything or his brother is suffering, he<br />

should say: Our Lord is Allah Who is in the heaven, holy is Thy name, Thy command reigns supreme in the heaven and the<br />

earth, as Thy mercy in the heaven, make Thy mercy in the earth; forgive us our sins, and our errors; Thou art the Lord of<br />

good men; send down mercy from Thy mercy, and remedy, and remedy from Thy remedy on this pain so that it is healed up.<br />

SUFFICIENT: ( IS ALLAH )<br />

8:64 - O Apostle! sufficient unto thee is Allah (unto thee) and unto those who follow thee among the<br />

believers. 1231<br />

1231 The Believers: mere lip-profession of belief, or even the kind of belief that does not result in action, is not enough. To<br />

those whose belief is so sincere that it results in complete trust in Allah and in fearless action in His service, the<br />

consequences on this earth do not matter. Allah's good pleasure is enough for them. (8.64)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 3.488B<br />

Abu Huraira<br />

Narrated by<br />

The Prophet said, "An Israeli man asked another Israeli to lend him one thousand Dinars. The second man required<br />

witnesses. The former replied, 'Allah is sufficient as a witness.' The second said, 'I want a surety.' The former replied, 'Allah<br />

is sufficient as a surety.' The second said, 'You are right,' and lent him the money for a certain period. The debtor went<br />

across the sea. When he finished his job, he searched for a conveyance so that he might reach in time for the repayment of<br />

the debt, but he could not find any. So, he took a piece of wood and made a hole in it, inserted in it one thousand Dinars and<br />

a letter to the lender and then closed (i.e. sealed) the hole tightly. He took the piece of wood to the sea and said. 'O Allah!<br />

You know well that I took a loan of one thousand Dinars from so-and-so. He demanded a surety from me but I told him that<br />

Allah's guarantee was sufficient and he accepted Your guarantee. He then asked for a witness and I told him that Allah was<br />

sufficient as a witness, and he accepted You as a witness. No doubt, I tried hard to find a conveyance so that I could pay his<br />

money but could not find, so I hand over this money to You.' Saying that, he threw the piece of wood into the sea till it went<br />

out far into it, and then he went away. Meanwhile he started searching for a conveyance in order to reach the creditor's<br />

country.<br />

One day the lender came out of his house to see whether a ship had arrived bringing his money, and all of a sudden he saw<br />

the piece of wood in which his money had been deposited. He took it home to use for fire. When he sawed it, he found his<br />

money and the letter inside it. Shortly after that, the debtor came bringing one thousand Dinars to him and said, 'By Allah, I<br />

had been trying hard to get a boat so that I could bring you your money, but failed to get one before the one I have come by.'<br />

The lender asked, 'Have you sent something to me?' The debtor replied, 'I have told you I could not get a boat other than the<br />

one I have come by.' The lender said, 'Allah has delivered on your behalf the money you sent in the piece of wood. So, you<br />

may keep your one thousand Dinars and depart guided on the right path.' "<br />
