Hadith 147

tones, and scattered thorns in the country, drinking the wicked water and eating the fertiliser as food, and shedding your blood, and killing your children, and cutting off your relationships, and devouring the wealth between you with the falsehood, your ways were fearful, and the idols were installed among you, And most of them do not believe in Allah except and they are associating [12: 106]. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Conferred upon you with Muhammad-saww. He-azwj Sent him-saww to you all as a Messenger from yourselves and Said in what is Revealed from His-azwj Book: He is the One Who Sent among the inhabitants of Makkah, a Rasool from them, reciting His Verses to them and purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the Wisdom, and surely, before they were in clear straying [62: 2]. And Said: There has come to you a Rasool from yourselves. It is grievous upon him what is distressing upon you, being full of concern upon you. With the Momineen he is kind, merciful [9: 128]. And Said: Certainly Allah Conferred a Favour upon the Momineen when He Sent among them a Rasool from among themselves, [3: 164] That is the Grace of Allah. He Gives it to ones He so Desires to, and Allah is with the Mighty Grace [62: 4]. He-saww was the Rasool-saww to you all from yourselves, in your language. He-saww taught you the Book, and the Wisdom, and the Obligation, and the Sunnah, and he-saww instructed you with maintaining your relations, and save your blood, and righteousness between yourselves, and render the entrustments to their owners, [4: 58], and that you should fulfil the vows, and do not be breaking the oaths after its affirmation, [16: 91]. And he-saww instructed you that you (with each other) have compassion, and be righteous, and smile, and spend, and be kind; and he-saww forbade you from the looting, and the injustice, and the jealousy, and the transgressing, and the slandering, and from drinking the wine, and underestimate in the measure and be deficient in the scale (weighing). And he-saww advanced to you all among what he-saww recited to you that you shall not commit adultery, nor interest (usury), nor devour wealth of the orphans, and to render the entrustments to their owners, [4: 58] and do not mischievous in the land, as transgressors” [2: 60] and do not be aggressive; surely Allah does not love the aggressors [2: 190]. Thus, every good which could draw closer to the Paradise and distance from the Fire, he-saww had instructed you with it, and every evil drawing closer to the Fire and distancing form the Paradise, he-saww had forbidden you from it. When his-saww term from the world was completed, Allah-azwj Caused him-saww to pass away to Him-azwj, happy, praised. Oh what a calamity it was in particular for the near ones, and blinded the entirety of the Muslims what they had not been afflicted before it with the like of it, and they will never witness its similar after it. When he-saww had gone on his-saww way, the Muslims contended the command from after him-saww. By Allah-azwj! It had not been cast in my-asws soul nor had it occurred in my-asws mind that the Arabs, after Muhammad-saww, w
