Hadith 56.25
About People with Taqwa
Malik said, "I heard that al-Qasim ibn Muhammad used to say, 'I have seen the people, (i.e. the companions), and they were
not impressed by speech.' " Malik said, "He meant that only action and deeds would be looked at, not words."
TASNIM:
83:27 - With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim: 6026
6026 Tasnim literally indicates height, fulness, opulence. Here it is the name of a heavenly Fountain, whose drink is
superior to that of the Purest Wine. It is the nectar drunk by Those Nearest to Allah (n. 5227 to lvi. 11), but a flavour of
it will be given to all. See n. 5835 to lxxvi. 5 (Kafur fountain), and n. 5849 to lxxvi. 17-18 (Salsabil). (83.27)
TEACH:
3:21 - As to those who deny the Signs of Allah and in defiance of right slay the Prophets and slay
those who teach just dealing with mankind announce to them a grievous penalty. 363364
363 Right; haqq has many shades of meaning; (1) right, in the sense of having a right to something; (2) right, in the sense
of straight conduct, as opposed to wrong; (3) truth; (4) justice. All these shades are implied here. (3.21)
364 Examples of the Prophets slain were: "the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto
the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar": Matt. xxiii. 35. Cf. Q. ii. 61.
n. 75. Again, John the Baptist (Yahya, noble, chaste, a prophet, of the goodly company of the righteous. Q. iii. 39),
was bound, imprisoned, and beheaded, and his head presented to a dancing harlot: Matt. xiv. 1-11. (3.21)
3:48 - "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom the Law and the Gospel.
3:153 - Behold! ye were climbing up the high ground without even casting a side glance at anyone
and the Apostle in your rear was calling you back. There did Allah give you one distress after
another by way of requital to teach you not to grieve for (the booty) that had escaped you and
for (the ill) that had befallen you. For Allah is well aware of all that ye do. 464
464 It would seem that a party of horsemen led by the dashing Khalid ibn Al-walid came through the gap in the passes
where the Muslim archers should have been, and in the confusion that arose, the retreating foe rallied and turned
back on the Muslims. From the low ground on the bank of the valley the Muslims retreated in their turn and tried to
gain the hill. They had a double loss: (1) they were baulked of the booty they had run after, and (2) their own lives and
the lives of their whole army were in danger, and many lives were actually lost from their ranks. Their own lives being
in danger, they had hardly time to grieve for the general calamity. But it steadied them, and some of them stood the
test. (3.153)
4:69 - All who obey Allah and the Apostle are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of
Allah of the Prophets (who teach) the sincere (lovers of truth) the witnesses (who testify) and
the righteous (who do good): ah! what a beautiful fellowship! 586
586 A passage of the deepest devotional meaning. Even the humblest man who accepts Faith and does good becomes an
accepted member of a great and beautiful company in the Hereafter. It is a company which lives perpetually in the
sunshine of God's Grace. (This passage partly illustrates Q. i. 5). It is a glorious hierarchy, of which four grades are
specified: (1) The highest is that of the Prophets or Apostles, who get plenary inspiration from God, and who teach
mankind by example and precept. That rank in Islam is held by Muhammand Al-Mustafa. (2) The next are those
whose badge is sincerity and truth: they love and support the truth with their person, their means, their influence, and
all that is theirs. That rank was held by the special Companions of Muhammad, among whom the type was that of
Hadhrat Abu Bakr As-Siddiq. (3) The next are the noble army of Witnesses, who testify to the truth. The testimony
may be by martyrdom, Or it may be by the tongue of the true Preacher or the pen of the devoted scholar, or the life of
the man devoted to service, (4) Lastly, there is the large company of Righteous people, the ordinary folk who do their
ordinary business, but always in a righteous Way. (4.69)
5:104 - When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed; come to the Apostle": they say:
"Enough for us are the ways we found our fathers following." What! even though their fathers
were void of knowledge and guidance? 810
810 Cf. ii. 170. Where a Messenger of Truth comes to teach us the better way, it is foolish to say: "What our ancestors did
is good enough for us." (5.104)
