Our
faith demands that we should have deep love for those lucky people who had the
honor of being close to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). Hating them and harboring enmity against them
leads to displeasure of Allah Most High and His Beloved Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam). There is a Hadith in
Jame’ Tirmidhi:
Translation:
It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Jabir (May Allah be well pleased
with him), he said: A bier was brought
before the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) so that He may lead the
Salaat Ul Janazah. The Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) refused to lead this person’s Salaat Ul
Janazah. The Companions said: O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam)! We have never seen you refuse
any person’s Salaat Ul Janazah like this before. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) said: This person used to harbor
enmity against, ‘Uthman, so Allah Most High detests him. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 3709)
Hadhrat ‘Uthman’s simplicity and humility
In spite
of being enthroned on the highest spiritual stations, Hadhrat ‘Uthman (May
Allah be well pleased with him) would lead his life with utmost simplicity. It
is given in Nuzhatul Majalis:
Translation:
For others, he would provide food fit for kings and he himself would use olives
and vinegar. (Nuzhatul Majalis)
