Madinay ki Machli | The Fish of Madinah
: ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgives the one who has a desire of something, then he controls his desire and gives preference to another person (over himself).’ (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 114)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Definition of Isaar (selflessness)
O devotees of Rasool and my dear Islamic brothers! Did you realize! Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Umar رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا had control over his Nafs so much so that he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ did not eat the fish of Madinah in spite of the fact that he felt a strong desire. Instead, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ sacrificed his worldly blessing in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ with intent to earn the Sawab (reward).
The definition of Isaar (selflessness) is ‘to give precedence to the need and desire of others over one’s own need and desire’.
Grapes sacrificed
Here is another parable regarding the selflessness of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Umar رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا. Sayyiduna Naafi’ رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated: Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Umar رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا fell ill.
