Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman from Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet may Allah<br />

bless him and grant him peace, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If a misfortune<br />

befalls some one and he says, as Allah has ordered, 'We belong to Allah and to Him we are returning. O Allah, reward me in<br />

my misfortune and give me better than it afterwards,' Allah will do that for him" (Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun. Allahumma'<br />

jurniy fi musiybatiy, wa a qibhiy khayran minha, illa faala 'llahu dhalika bihi.).<br />

Umm Salama said, "When Abu Salama died I said that, and then I said, 'Who is better than Abu Salama?' " And then Allah<br />

left her the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he married her.<br />

Fiqh 4.132<br />

When One is Faced with Something Difficult or Unpleasant<br />

Abu Hurairah related that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "When one of you is afflicted with any misfortune he should<br />

say, 'Ina li llahi wa inna 'ilayhi Raji'un (We are for Allah, and to Him is our return),' even if it be merely losing one's shoe<br />

straps, for this is also a misfortune." (Ibn As-Sinni)<br />

MISLEAD:<br />

4:119 - "I will mislead them and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of<br />

cattle and to deface the (fair) nature created by Allah." Whoever forsaking Allah takes Satan<br />

for a friend hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest. 629630631<br />

629 Satan's deceptions are with false desires, false superstitions, and false fears. (4.119)<br />

630 Slitting the ears of cattle is just one instance of the superstitions to which men become slaves when they run after<br />

false gods. Astrology, magic, and vain beliefs in things that do not exist lead men away from Allah, the one true God.<br />

(4.119)<br />

6:119 - Why should ye not eat of (meats) on which Allah's name hath been pronounced when He<br />

hath explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you except under compulsion of necessity?<br />

But many do mislead (men) by their appetites unchecked by knowledge. Thy Lord knoweth<br />

best those who transgress. 944<br />

944 Cf. v. 4. When a clear law has explained what is lawful and unlawful in food, it is wrong to raise fresh scruples and<br />

mislead the ignorant. (6.119)<br />

9:115 - And Allah will not mislead a people after He hath Guided them in order that He may make clear to<br />

them what to fear (and avoid) for Allah hath knowledge of all things. 1367<br />

1367 Allah's clear commands are given, so that Believers may not be misled by their human frailty into unbecoming<br />

conduct. (9.115)<br />

10:88 - Moses prayed: "Our Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his Chiefs splendor<br />

and wealth in the life of the Present and so our Lord they mislead (men) from Thy Path.<br />

Deface our Lord the features of their wealth and send hardness to their hearts so they will not<br />

believe until they see the grievous Penalty." 14691470<br />

1469 Moses's prayer, in which Aaron joined, for he was always with him, may be paraphrased thus: "O Allah! we<br />

understand that the glitter and the wealth of the Egyptians are not to be envied. They are but the ephemeral goods of<br />

this life. They are a disadvantage, in that in their pride of possessions the Egyptians mislead themselves and others.<br />

Let their pride be their undoing! Turn their wealth into bitterness and their hearts into hardness, for they reject Thee,<br />

and they will not believe until they actually see the Punishment of their sins!" (10.88)<br />

1470 A terrible curse! Let their wealth and splendour become so defaced in their features, that instead of being objects of<br />

desire, they become objects of loathing! The heart is the seat of affections and joy: let it be so hardened by their<br />

unbelief that it becomes the seat of hatred and grief! It is when they see the Penalty that they will believe! (10.88)<br />

14:30 - And they set up (idols) as equal to Allah to mislead (men) from the Path! Say: "Enjoy (your<br />

brief power)! But verily ye are making straightway for Hell!"<br />
