Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 5637<br />

Narrated by<br />

Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "If as much of what is in Paradise as could be carried by a fingernail were to appear,<br />

the space between the cardinal points of the Heavens and the Earth would be adorned on account of it. If a man of the<br />

inhabitants of Paradise were to look down and his bracelets were to appear, his light would obliterate the light of the sun just<br />

as the sun obliterates the light of the stars."<br />

Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a gharib tradition.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 4201<br />

Thawban<br />

Narrated by<br />

When the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) went on a journey, the last member of his family he saw was Fatimah, and<br />

the first he visited on his return was Fatimah. Once when he returned from an expedition she had hung up a hair-cloth, or a<br />

curtain, at her door, and adorned al-Hasan and al-Husayn with silver bracelets. So when he arrived, he did not enter.<br />

Thinking that he had been prevented from entering by what he had seen, she tore down the curtain, unfastened the bracelets<br />

from the boys and cut them off. They went weeping to the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him), and when he had taken<br />

them from them, he said: Take this to so and so's family. Thawban. In Medina, these are my family, and I did not like them to<br />

enjoy their good things in the present life. Buy Fatimah a necklace or asb, Thawban, and two ivory bracelets.<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 4.817<br />

Ibn Abbas<br />

Narrated by<br />

Musailama-al-Kadhdhab (i.e. the liar) came in the life-time of Allah's Apostle with many of his people (to Medina) and said, "If<br />

Muhammad makes me his successor, I will follow him." Allah's Apostle went up to him with Thabit bin Qais bin Shams; and<br />

Allah's Apostle was carrying a piece of a date-palm leaf in his hand. He stood before Musailama (and his companions) and<br />

said, "If you asked me even this piece (of a leaf), I would not give it to you. You cannot avoid the fate you are destined to, by<br />

Allah. If you reject Islam, Allah will destroy you. I think that you are most probably the same person whom I have seen in the<br />

dream." Abu Huraira told me that Allah's Apostle; said, "While I was sleeping, I saw (in a dream) two gold bracelets round my<br />

arm, and that worried me too much. Then I was instructed divinely in my dream, to blow them off and so I blew them off, and<br />

they flew away. I interpreted the two bracelets as symbols of two liars who would appear after me. And so one of them was<br />

Al-Ansi and the other was Musailama Al-Kadhdhab from Al-Yamama."<br />

BREACH:<br />

4:35 - If ye fear a breach between them twain appoint (two) arbiters one from his family and the<br />

other from hers; if they wish for peace Allah will cause their reconciliation: for Allah hath full<br />

knowledge and is acquainted with all things. 549<br />

549 An excellent plan for settling family disputes, without too much publicity or mud-throwing, or resort to the chicaneries<br />

of the law. The Latin countries recognise this plan in their legal systems. It is a pity that Muslims do not resort to it<br />

universally, as they should. The arbiters from each family would know the idiosyncracies of both parties, and would be<br />

able, with Allah's help to effect a real reconciliation. (4.35)<br />

5:13 - But because of their breach of their Covenant We cursed them and made their hearts grow<br />

hard: they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the Message<br />

that was sent them nor wilt thou cease to find them barring a few ever bent on (new) deceits:<br />

but forgive them and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind. 712713714<br />

712 Cursed them: that means that because of the breach of their Covenant, Allah withdrew His overflowing Grace from<br />

them. The withdrawal of Grace made their hearts grow hard in two ways: (1) they were no longer protected from the<br />

assaults of evil, and (2) they became impervious even to the message of forgiveness and mercy which is open to all<br />

Allah's creatures. (5.13)<br />

4:135 - O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice as witnesses to Allah even as against<br />

yourselves or your parents or your kin and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can<br />

best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts) lest ye swerve and if ye distort (justice)<br />

or decline to do justice verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do. 544645<br />

544 When the emigration took place from Makkah to Madinah, bonds and links of brotherhood were established between<br />

the Emigrants and the Helpers, and they shared in each other's inheritance. Later, when the Community was solidly<br />

established, and relations with those left behind in Makkah were resumed, the rights of blood-relations in Makkah, and<br />

the Helper-brethren in Madinah were both safeguarded. This is the particular meaning. The more general meaning is<br />

similar; respect your ties of blood, of neighbourhood, and of friendly compacts and understandings. Be just to all.<br />

(4.135)<br />

645 Some people may be inclined to favour the rich, because they expect something from them. Some people may be<br />

inclined to favour the poor because they are generally helpless. Partiality in either case is wrong. Be just, without fear<br />

of favour. Both the rich and the poor are under Allah's protection as far as their legitimate interests are concerned, but<br />
