The Story of Abu Dahdah رضي الله عنه

During the time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, there was a young orphan who was getting a wall built from the edge of his house to his neighbour’s but there was a palm tree that was causing a halt to the construction. The wall could not be continued unless the tree was either removed or added to the child’s house. This tree belonged to the companion named Abi Lubabah رضي الله تعالى عنه. The young boy (the orphan) came to Abi Lubabah رضي الله تعالى عنهand told him, “Give me that tree so I could construct the wall.” Abi Lubabah رضي الله تعالى عنهreplied, “No, it is mine.” The boy then said, “Then sell it to me!” Abi Lubabah رضي الله تعالى عنهrefused once again. The boy said, “By Allah, I am going to complain to Prophet of Allah!” He went and told what exactly had happened with him. Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم softly said, “Where is Abu Lubabah? Call Abu Lubabah!” He صلى الله عليه وسلم then said to Abu Lubabah رضي الله تعالى عنه, “Give him the tree” Abu Lubabah رضي الله تعالى عنهsaid, “No, O’ Prophet of Allah, it is my haqq.” Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “O’ Abu Lubabah, sell it to him.” He رضي الله تعالى عنهreplied, “No, O’ Prophet of Allah it’s mine.” Hearing this, tears started flowing from the eyes of the young boy. Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم then said, “O’ Abu Lubabah, give him a branch from this tree and you will have a tree in Jannah” Abu Lubabah رضي الله تعالى عنهsaid, “I don’t want it,” and the left. When Abu Dahdah رضي الله تعالى عنهheard this and saw the boy crying, he went close to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, “If I purchase the same tree, will I get the same offer?” Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, “Yes” Then Abu Dahdah رضي الله تعالى عنهran after Abu Lubabah رضي الله تعالى عنهand said, “O’ Abu Lubabah, do you my orchard? (His house was in the orchard and some scholars said it had 400 trees whilst others said it had 600) It is yours for that tree!” Abu Lubabah رضي الله تعالى عنهturned around and said, “Are you out of your mind?” Aba Dahdah رضي الله تعالى عنهreplied, “No, it is yours and O’ people be witness!” Then he went where Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the boy were and said to him, “O’ boy, that tree is yours!” Abu Dahdah رضي الله تعالى عنهthen went to his old orchard and called out from outside, “O’ Umm Dahdah!” She رضي الله تعالى عنهاreplied, “Yes, O’ Abu Dahdah!” He said, “Come out of the orchard” She asked, “Why?” He said, “We have sold it to Allah and His Messenger!” She said, “What a successful deal!” Then Umm Dahdah رضي الله تعالى عنهاgot their children out of the orchard. They were carrying some dates, she got hold of their hands, opened them and threw the dates back into the orchard and said, “They are for Allah my child.” And thus, Abu Dahdah رضي الله تعالى عنه sold off his 400 trees plus his home for a tree in Jannah.

LIVE from The Prophet's Smile صلى الله عليه وسلم in London, 450 make their way to study the characteristics of the greatest man to ever walk to Earth for the upcoming weekend.

Stay tuned - it's all happening here with QShams on the weekend before Ramadhaan!

[Abd Al-Azeez]

ibn Hazm said,

"Had the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) been given no miracle except the detailed preservation of his life, it would have been enough to prove his Prophethood (saws)."

[Abd Al-Azeez]

If you truly love the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم , how much time do you really spend studying him?

[Abd Al-Azeez]

At one point or another, every Muslim will taste the sweetness of Islam, and that taste will affect their practice.

[Abd Al-Azeez]

The vast majority of us taste the sweetness of imaan in salaah: either when in need of Him or when in Makkah for the first time and making du'aa there.

[Abd Al-Azeez]

The Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم criteria of love:

1) Loving Allaah and His Messenger more than anything else
2) Loving for your brother what you love for yourself.
3) To hate the idea of falling away from Islam.

What have you done to deserve Islam?

[Abd Al-Azeez]

The only way you can value hating disbelief is by being challenged as an individual with tests.

Taste the burn of giving large amounts away for Allah and you will develop your imaan.
