Madinay ki Machli | The Fish of Madinah
Heart can be purchased with benevolence, not with money
سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Sayyiduna Imam Hasan Mujtaba رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ gave preference to ‘fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ’ rather than his wealth and this alone leads to the success and deliverance (in afterlife) as love for wealth should not become dominant than love for Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Certainly, numerous things can be purchased with wealth but not the heart (i.e. you cannot win over someone’s heart with wealth).
Sayyiduna Ibn Sammaak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated, ‘I wonder about the person who spends wealth to buy a slave but does not purchase freemen (i.e. their hearts) with goodness (benevolence). (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 304)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
Generous is not the one who gives only when requested
Sayyiduna Imam Zayn-ul-Aabideen رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said, ‘One who gives the beggars (when they request) is not a generous person. Generous is the one who, regarding the matter of the people obedient to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, fulfils the rights of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and has no greed for receiving thanks in return, because he has a firm belief on getting complete Sawab.’ (ibid)
