Monday, December 12, 2011


Abu Hurayrah (Radia Allahu anhu) once passed by the market in Medinah. He stoppet at the market and said:
"Oh people of the market , how incapable you are"
They said, :
" And how is that Abu Hurayrah?
He replied:
"Over there the inheritance of Allah's Messenger (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) is being distributed and you are here! Wont you go and take your share?
They asked:
"Where is it? "
He replied:
"In the Masjid ."
So they hurried to the Masjid and Abu Hurayrah waited for them until they returned.
When they came back.He say:
"What is the matter?"
They replied:
"Abu Hurayrah we went to the Masjid , but we didn't see anything  being distributed."
Abu Hurayrah ask them:
"And you didn't see anyone in the Masjid?"
They replied:
"Indeed we  did, we saw people praying , others reciting Quran and others studying the regulations of halal and haraam."
So Abu Hurayrah said:
"Woe to you, that is the inheritance of Muhammad (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam)"
