Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
One day, I was riding behind
the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
when he (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
"O boy! I will instruct you in some matters.
Be watchful of Allah (Commandments of Allah),
He will preserve you.
Safeguard His Rights,
He will be ever with you.
If you beg, beg of Him Alone;
and if you need assistance,
supplicate to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, Alone for help.
And remember that if all the people gather to benefit you,
they will not be able to benefit you except that which
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, had foreordained (for you);
and if all of them gather to do harm to you,
they will not be able to afflict you with anything
other than that which Allah had pre-destined against you.
The pens had been lifted and the ink had dried up".
[At-Tirmidhi].
Another narration is:
Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
"Safeguard the Commandments of Allah,Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
you will find Him before you.
Remember Him in prosperity
and He will remember you in adversity.
Be sure that which you miss, was not to hit you;
and what hits you, was never to miss you.
Remember that the Help of Allah is obtained with patience,
and relief emerges after distress,
prosperity follows adversity,
and hardship is followed by ease".
Commentary:
1. No one has the power to change the Decision of Allah.
2. Whatever trouble one has to suffer in this world,
it does not last for ever.
Every trouble is followed by prosperity, pleasure and happiness.
3. One should never ask other than Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
anyone's help in supernatural way because it amounts to ascribing
partnership with Allah. If a person is mindful of
the Rights of Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, then Allah, in
return takes care of his needs and helps him.
