The Prophet’s neighbour
any manner he chooses.
Dear Islamic brothers! Another lesson we learn from this narration of the Companion RabīꜤa رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ is that one should not feel shy or hesitant when asking from the Merciful Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. In this worldly life, when approaching kings or wealthy individuals, a person may hesitate or feel fearful, wondering if their request will be fulfilled. He may fear asking for a particular thing may perhaps make them angry.
The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the most generous of the generous. When it comes to him, there is no need for hesitation, no need for shyness, and no fear that a request will go unfulfilled. Look at RabīꜤa رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ; he asked without hesitation. And what did he ask for? He asked for the blessing of passing away with faith (for one without faith will never enter Paradise), he asked for the ability to perform good deeds (for while entrance to Paradise is granted by Allah’s mercy, higher ranks are awarded according to one’s good deeds), he asked for the acceptance of his deeds on the Day of Judgement (for one whose deeds are rejected cannot attain high stations in Paradise), and then, he requested a high rank in Paradise.
The final Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم granted all of this to his Companion.
From this, we understand that we too can ask our Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم for faith, wealth, children, honour, Paradise, and everything. Indeed, asking from him is the practice of the Companions.[1]
