قيل لأعرابي في البصرة:
ﻫﻞ ﺗُﺤﺪّﺙ ﻧﻔﺴﻚ ﺑﺪﺧﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺠﻨّﺔ
ﻗﺎﻝ: ﻭﺍﻟﻠّﻪ ﻣﺎ ﺷﻜﻜﺖ في ذلك ﻗﻂّ وﺃﻧّﻲ ﺳﻮﻑ ﺃﺧﻄﻮا ﻓﻲ ﺭﻳﺎﺿﻬا ﻭﺃﺷﺮﺏ ﻣﻦ ﺣﻴﺎﺿﻬﺎ ﻭﺃﺳﺘﻈﻞّ ﺑﺄﺷﺠﺎﺭﻫﺎ ﻭﺁﻛﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺛﻤﺎﺭﻫﺎ ﻭﺃﺗﻔﻴّﺄ ﺑﻈﻼﻟﻬﺎ
وأعيش في غرفها وقصورها
ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻪ: ﺃﻓﺒﺤﺴﻨﺔٍ ﻗﺪمتها ﺃﻡ ﺑﺼﺎﻟﺤﺔٍ ﺃﺳﻠﻔﺘﻬﺎ
ﻗﺎﻝ: ﻭﺃﻱ ﺣﺴﻨﺔٍ ﺃﻋﻠﻰ ﺷﺮﻓﺎً ﻭﺃﻋﻈﻢ أجرا ﻣﻦ ﺇﻳﻤﺎﻧﻲ ﺑﺎلله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﻭﺟﺤﻮﺩﻱ ﻟﻜﻞ ﻣﻌﺒﻮﺩٍ ﺳﻮﻯ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺗﺒﺎﺭﻙ ﻭﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ
ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻪ : ﺃﻓﻼ ﺗﺨﺸﻰ ﺍﻟﺬّﻧﻮﺏ ؟
ﻗﺎﻝ :خلق الله المغفرة للذنوب والرحمة للخطأ والعفو للجُرم ﻭﻫﻮ ﺃﻛﺮﻡ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻌﺬّﺏ ﻣﺤﺒّﻴﻪ ﻓﻲ ﻧﺎﺭ ﺟﻬﻨّﻢ
فكان الناس في مسجد البصرة يقولون
ﻟﻘﺪ ﺣﺴﻦ ﻇﻦّ ﺍﻷﻋﺮﺍﺑﻲّ ﺑﺮﺑّﻪ
ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻻ ﻳﺬﻛﺮﻭﻥ ﺣﺪﻳﺜﻪ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻧﺠﻠﺖ ﻏﻤﺎﻣﺔ ﺍﻟﻴﺄﺱ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ ﻭﻏﻠﺐ ﺳﻠﻄﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﺎﺀ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ
وظني فيك يا رب جميل فحقق يا إلهي حـُسن ظني وما أجمل الثقة باللّه
قال تعالى : فَمَا ظَنّكُم بِرَبّ العَالمِين »
يقولُ ابن مَسعُود: ” قسماً بالله ما ظنَّ أحدٌ باللهِ ظناً؛ إلّا أعطَاه ما يظنُّ، وذلكَ لأنَّ الفَضلَ كُلَّه بيدِ الله “
اللهم إنّا نظن بك غفراناً وعفواً وتوفيقاً ونصراً وثباتاً وتيسيراً وسعـادةً ورزقا ً وشفاءً وحسنَ خاتمة ٍوتوبةً نصوحاً وعتقاً من النار.
فهْب لنا مزيداً من فضلكَ يارب العالمين.
Have you ever seen the beauty of heaven
Mahmoud Alsankari
.An Arab was once asked in Basra: “Have you ever seen the beauty of heaven?”He replied, “I have indeed and I have lived in its rooms and palaces.”The questioner then asked him, “And what did you think of its buildings?”to which he responded, “They were exquisite with intricate designs and beautiful architecture. Moreover, I witnessed the generosity of their people towards me as a foreigner, they treated me with kindness and respect.”
The people at the mosque in Basra used to say about Abu Hurairah: “He is from Al-Ahmasin tribe.” And some would say that he was from Yemen or Najd. However, no one really knew his true origin except Allah (SWT).
Our belief in Allah encompasses forgiveness for our sins, guidance towards success, victory over adversity and tranquility amidst chaos. We put our trust solely on Him because His benevolence knows no bounds.
Allah says: “What is your opinion about the Lord of all worlds?” Ibn Mas’ud said: “By Allah! No one can truly believe until he has good thoughts about Allah. For if anyone has such thoughts concerning Him as are not fitting for Him; He will give him according to what he thinks.”
O Allah! We seek Your forgiveness and mercy along with Your guidance towards righteousness; grant us prosperity during times of ease and steadfastness during trials; provide us with happiness both here on earth and in the hereafter; bless us with sustenance, healing when we are ill, a peaceful end to our lives upon this earth followed by repentance that results in salvation from hellfire. O Lord Almighty please bestow upon us more blessings than we could ever imagine possible.
