Do We Measure Up To Them? by gaussy(m): 4:47pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
DO WE MEASURE UP TO THEM? During the regime of Umar bn Alkhattaab, three men came to him holding a young man and they said; O the leader of the believers, we need you to claim our right from this man because he has killed our father. Umar bn Alkhattaab said to the young man; why did you kill him? The man said; I am a herdsman. One of my donkeys ate from a tree in their father's farm & he stoned it to death so I picked the same stone & stoned him and he died. Umar bn Alkhattaab said; then I will do justice on you. The man said; spare me three days because my father just passed away & left a bag of money for me & my younger brother so if you kill me, the inheritance will be wasted & my younger brother would live miserably after me. Umar bn Alkhattaab asked; Who will stand for you? The man looked at the faces of the audience & said; This man [Aboo dharr] Umar bn alkhattaab said; O Aboo dharr, would you stand for this man? Aboo dharr said; Yes, O leader of the believers. Umar replied; you don't know him & if he runs away (refuses to come back), I will punish you in his stead. Aboo dharr replied; I will stand for him. And the man left. The first day passed by, same with the second day & on the third day, people started asking of his whereabouts, for justice not to be passed on Aboo dharr instead. When it was few minutes after magrib [evening] prayer, the man came back panting & he had indeed been stressed out. He stood before the leader of the believers, Umar bn Alkhattaab & said; I have handled both the inheritance & my brother to our uncles so I am here for justice. Umar was astonished and said; What brought you back when you had the chance to run?? The man replied; I was scared of people saying fulfillment of promise has gone away from human beings.. Umar then asked Aboo dharr why he stood for him. Aboo dharr said; I was afraid of people saying good deeds have gone away from humans.. The sons of the deceased were touched with these words and said; we have pardoned him. Umar asked; Why? They replied; We are scared of people saying; pardon has gone away from human beings.. Brethren, Where are we in this type of indelible act? As for me, I translated and shared this with you for people not to say; calling to good deed has gone away.. May Allah make good deed easy for us. Translated by; Aboo Umaamah 1 Like |
