Sayyiduna Ali Al-Murtada رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ says: ‘Yes! O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’

So the Beloved Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated:  ‘Recite ‘سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰہ’ 33 times, ‘اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہ’ 33 times and ‘اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَر’ 34 times in the morning and evening, you will attain a thousand good deeds in the morning and evening.’

Sayyiduna Ali Al-Murtada رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ says: ‘After this, I made this my routine and never left it, although I did forget to read it on the night of the Battle of Siffeen, but I remembered at the end and read it.’ (Sunan-e-Kubra-lil-Nasai, vol. 6, p. 204, Hadith 10652)

Dear Islamic Brothers! We heard how the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم donated the bracelets given by Khatoon-e-Jannat رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا to the Ashab-us-Suffah. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم taught us by this blessed action that one should spend their wealth on the Islamic students of knowledge. If the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم wanted, he could have ordered for this wealth to be spent on another good cause, but he ordered for it to be spent on the Ashab-us-Suffah who were always ready to seek the knowledge of Islam.

We come to know through this that we should spend our wealth on the matters which are more beneficial for the religion. Alongside spending our wealth on religious matters, we should also give as much time as we can. There are numerous incidents of the noble Sahabah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم who were ennobled by the blessings of Mustafa, and of the pious predecessors
رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـه, in which alongside spending their wealth in the way of the religion, they also spent their time for the advancement of Islam. May Allah Almighty, for the sake of the sacrifices made by these pious individuals for the religion, also grant us this passion that we, alongside spending our wealth in way of Allah Almighty, also become successful in spending our time in seeking and teaching religious knowledge.

Sacrifices of the Sahabah in the beginning of Islam

O Devotees of the Prophet! There is no doubt in the fact that the beginning era of Islam was a very difficult one. The noble Sahabah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم had to face such difficulties and worries for learning and practising the religion that just imagining them makes one shudder.
