The Companion Salmān Fārsi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ
Luqmān the Wise رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه gave the following advice to his son, “Whenever you pass by a group of people, hit them with an Islamic arrow!”
What is this Islamic arrow? ʿAwf bin ʿAbdullah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه comments, “This refers to giving salaam.”[1] When you give salaam, this love-filled greeting will become an arrow and strike the heart of the one you are greeting. This will increase love between you.
May Allah grant us the ability to spread salaam and increase love between ourselves.
اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ عَلَیْہِ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
You would have been deceptive in your trust…
The Tābiʿi Abū Qalābah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه reports:
Sayyidunā Salmān Fārsi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was kneading dough when a man came to visit him. The man asked, “What is happening here? (i.e. Why are you kneading dough yourself?)” The great Companion replied, “My servant is already occupied with a task. It does not seem suitable for me to burden him with another.”
سُبْحٰنَ اللہ! Look how gentle Sayyidunā Salmān Fārsi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was towards those around him. Kneading dough was the responsibility of his servant, but he did not give him another task. Instead, Sayyidunā Salmān Fārsi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ completed the task so his servant would not be under any difficulty.سُبْحٰنَ اللہ!
