Faith, Kindness & Loyalty

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the importance of having faith in Allah and the Last Day, treating others with kindness, and being loyal to one's leader.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: We accompanied Messenger of Allah on a journey. We halted at a place to take a rest. Some of us began to set right their tents, others began to graze their animals while others were engaged in competing with one another in archery when an announcer of Messenger of Allah announced that people should gather for Salat. We gathered around the Messenger of Allah and he () addressed us, saying, "Every Prophet before me was under obligation to guide his followers to what he knew was good for them and to warn the evil thing which he knew. As for this Ummah, it will have sound state and in its early stage of existence; but the last phase of its existence, will be faced with trials and with things you do not recognize. There will be tremendous trials, one after the other, and to each the believer will say, 'That is it'. Whenever a trial arrives the believer will say: 'This is going to bring about my destruction'. When this passes, another calamity will approach and he will say: 'This surely is going to be my end'. Whosoever wishes to be removed from the Fire (Hell) and admitted to Jannah should die with faith in Allah and the Last Day; and he should treat others as he wishes to be treated. He who swears allegiance to an Imam, he should give him the pledge in ratification and the sincerity of his heart. He should obey him to the best of his capacity. If another man comes forward as a claimant (when one has already been installed), behead the second". Muslim.
وعن عبد الله بن عمرو رضي الله عنهما قال‏:‏ كنا مع رسول الله في سفر، فنزلنا منزلاً، فمنا من يصلح خباءه، ومنا من ينتضل، ومنا من هو في جشره، إذ نادى منادي رسول الله الصلاة جامعة‏.‏ فاجتمعنا إلى رسول الله فقال‏:‏ “إنه لم يكن نبي قبلي إلا كان حقاً عليه أن يدل أمته على خير ما يعلمه لهم، وينذرهم شر ما يعلمه لهم، وإن أمتكم هذه جعل عاقبتها في أولها، وسيصيب آخرها بلاء وأمور تنكرونها، وتجئ فتن يرقق بعضها بعضاً، وتجئ الفتنة فيقول المؤمن ‏:‏ هذه مهلكتي، ثم تنكشف؛ وتجئ الفتنة فيقول المؤمن‏:‏ هذه هذه، فمن أحب أن يزحزح عن النار، ويدخل الجنة، فلتأته منيته وهو يؤمن بالله واليوم الأخر، وليأت إلى الناس الذى يحب أن يؤتى إليه‏.‏ ومن بايع إماماً فأعطاه صفقة يده، وثمرة قلبه، فليطعه إن استطاع، فإن جاء آخر ينازعه، فاضربوا عنق الآخر” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏‏.‏ قوله‏:‏ “ينتضل” أى ‏:‏ يسابق بالرمي بالنبل والنشاب‏.‏ “والجشر” بفتح الجيم والشين المعجمة وبالراء‏:‏ وهى الدواب التى ترعى وتبيت مكانها‏.‏ وقوله‏:‏ “يرقق بعضها بعضاً” أى‏:‏ يصير بعضها بعضا رقيقاً، أى ‏:‏خفيفاً لعظم ما بعده، فالثانى يرقق الأول‏.‏ وقيل‏:‏ معناه، يشوق بعضها إلى بعض بتحسينها وتسويليها، وقيل‏:‏ يشبه بعضها بعضاً‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of having faith in Allah and the Last Day, treating others with kindness, and being loyal to one's leader. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was travelling with his companions when they stopped for a rest. Some were setting up tents while others were grazing their animals or competing in archery when an announcer called them to gather for prayer. The Prophet ﷺ then addressed them saying that every prophet before him was obligated to guide their followers towards what was good for them and warn against evil things. He then warned that this Ummah would face trials which they do not recognize but if someone wishes to be saved from Hellfire and admitted into Paradise then they must have faith in Allah and the Last Day as well as treat others how they wish to be treated themselves. If someone swears allegiance to an Imam then they should give it sincerely from their heart while also obeying him as best as possible; if another man comes forward claiming leadership then he should behead him. This hadith teaches us many values such as loyalty, compassion, belief in God, obedience towards leaders etc., all of which are important values that we should strive towards living by each day so that we can attain salvation on Judgement Day InshaAllah!
