Forgiveness was Granted by Virtue of Acting upon the Sunnah

In order to boost our enthusiasm to act upon the Sunnah, listen to the following account:

Sayyiduna Ali Bin Husayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ saw Sayyiduna Hibatullah Tabari رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه in his dream and asked him: ‘مَا فَعَلَ اللّٰہُ بِکَ’ ‘How did Allah Almighty deal with you?’ Sayyiduna Hibatullah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ answered, ‘Allah Almighty forgave me.’ He was asked, ‘On what basis?’ to which he replied, ‘Because of acting upon the Sunnah.’

(Siyar-e-A’lam-un-Nubala, Raqm 274 – Hibatullah Bin Al-Hasan, vol. 17, p. 419 Amended)

Dear Islamic brothers, remember that the noble saintsرَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ  considered it necessary to act upon every Sunnah of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. They disliked leaving out the Final Prophet’s صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم sayings and Sunnah in any way whatsoever. There are many incidents that show the enthusiasm of the Prophet’s followers to act upon his Sunnah and sayings.
