Strengthening the Ummah

“Salman felt sick and
Sa’d
came to visit him, and when he saw him he wept. Sa’d said to him:
‘Why are you weeping, my brother? Are you not a Companion of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? Are you not? Are you not?’ Salman said:
‘I
am only weeping for one reason: I am not weeping because of
longing
for this world or for dislike of the Hereafter. But the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) gave me some advice and I think that I have
transgressed.’
He said: ‘What was his advice to you?’ He said:
‘He advised me that
something like the provision of a rider is
sufficient for anyone of
you, and I think that I have transgressed
that. As for you, O Sa’d,
fear Allah when you pass a verdict, and
when you distribute (spoils of
war), and when you decide to do
anything.’”
