crying for the Prophet. quoted from the daily reminder youtube

alhamdulillah for giving chance to share this.

Aisha(ra), the wife of Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم), she shares with us a very personal moment in her life. she says one day i was with Rasool Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and he was in a cheerful mood so i said to him, ya Rasool Allah make a dua for me.

so he said, "may Allah forgive Aisha". and he continued, "o Allah forgive Aisha, all her sins, the past sins, the future sins, the ones that she commits in private and the ones that she commits in public."

and Aisha(ra) was so happy that she started to laugh, so the Prophet( صلى الله عليه وسلم) asked her, "did the dua please you?". she says "ya Rasool Allah how could that not please anyone?".

he(صلى الله عليه وسلم) says, "by Allah, that is the same dua i make for my ummah in my every single prayer."

the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) made the same dua for you! how much did Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) loves us.

he(صلى الله عليه وسلم) would cry in front of the sahabas and he(صلى الله عليه وسلم) would says, "i miss my brothers, the ones that i love." and they would say "ya Rasool Allah, aren't we your brothers?"

he( صلى الله عليه وسلم) would says "no, you're my companions but my brothers are the ones that would come after me and they would believe in me and they would never seen me."

the Prophet( صلى الله عليه وسلم) is crying because he misses you.

he would stays the night praying to Allah, crying out to Allah, "my ummah, my ummah"

the Prophet( صلى الله عليه وسلم) was crying for you.

when is the last time you cried for the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم)?

the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) gave khutbah and he(صلى الله عليه وسلم) lean on a tree while giving the khutbah until they built him(صلى الله عليه وسلم) a mimbar. the following week, standing on this mimbar, the companions said that they heard the tree cried. the tree was crying because it missed Rasool Allah(صلى الله عليه وسلم).

the tree cried because it missed Rasool Allah( صلى الله عليه وسلم). and people who said Muhammad(صلى الله عليه وسلم) is Rasool Allah, are we not worthy to cry for missing him(صلى الله عليه وسلم)?

the companions would sacrifice so much!

when the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) passed away, and Bilal(ra) could not do the adhan anymore. he would sit in the Prophet's mosque, and he would imagine looking at the house of Aisha(ra) where the grave of Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) was. and he would imagine the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) walking and saying to him, "comfort us with it ya Bilal, make the adhan for prayer."

so Bilal(ra) could not stand living  in medina. every street, every corner, every rock, and everything would remind him to the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم). so he leaves the city like many of the companions did. going for jihad, until many years later when Allah S.W.T gave victory to the muslims in jerusalem and the sahabas would be reunited  for the first time after the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) passed away. and they would see Bilal(ra) who did not gave adhan for 6 years, they would say to him, make adhan for us. and he would says please, it's too painful. and they ask Umar(ra), ya amirul mukmineen, please speak to him. until Umar(ra) spoke to him and he agreed. he get up to make adhan.

and he called the adhan. 

the memories, the sweet times, the fragrance of Muhammad(صلى الله عليه وسلم), his warmth, his compassion would come back to the sahabas and they would all cry.

Bilal(ra) struggled through the adhan. and he continued until he would get to the part of adhan "أشهد أن محمدا رسول الله", he broke down and cried, he can't continue either.

many years later when Bilal(ra) was on his death bed dying, and his wife would says to him "what sorrow!". he said "no, what happiness, what joy for tomorrow i will be with one i love, Muhammad(صلى الله عليه وسلم)."
