Book Name:Sayyiduna Ausman-e-Ghani Ka Ishq-e-Rasool ﷺ

Acted upon saying of Beloved Rasool even in severe winter

When Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ intended to offer Salah in a cold winter night, he asked his slave Humraan رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ for water for Wudu. The slave brought him water so he started washing his hands and mouth with it. (As he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ started his Wudu) the slave humbly said: May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ protect you! You are making Wudu, whereas the night is very cold. Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ stated in reply: I have heard from the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: The person who makes proper Wudu, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgives his past and future sins.

(Musnad Al-Bazzaar, vol. 2, pp. 75, Hadees 422)

 

تیری سُنّتوں پہ چل کر، میری رُوح جب نکل کر

چلے تم گلے لگانا مدنی مدینے والے

 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

 

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed! The sentence consisting of love and devotion Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ stated after making Wudu in very cold winter, it contains countless Madani pearls for us. The true love for the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم demands from us that our first preference should be to act upon Sunnah of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, because Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has also set the foundation of His love in the obedience to His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. If you claim to love Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, you have to obey His Beloved. It is stated in Ayah 31 of Surah       Aal-e-‘Imran, part 3:

 

قُلْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِیْ یُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ یَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۳۱)
