ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAH Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Generosity of Hazrat Sayyidna Abu Bakr Siddique Radi Allahu anhu
Hazrat Abu Sa'id Radi Allahu anhu reported that Allah's Habib Hazrat Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam sat on the pulpit and said: Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala gave a choice to His servant that he may opt the beauties of the world or that which is with Him and the servant chose that which was with Him. Thereupon Hazrat Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu wept and he wept bitterly and said: Let our fathers and our mothers be taken as ransom for you. It was Allah's Messenger who had been given the choice and Hazrat Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu knew it better than us, and Allah's Messenger is reported to have said: Behold, of all people the most generous toward me in regard to his companionship and his property was Abu Bakr and were I to choose anyone as my bosom friend, I would have chosen Abu Bakr as my dear friend, but (for him) I cherish Islamic brotherliness and love. There shall be left open no window in the mosque except Abu Bakr's window.[/color]
