I Am Fond Of Three Things

The aide of the Prophet, the devotee of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ said, ‘I am fond of three things:

1. To continuously look at the refulgent face of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہِ وَسَلَّم.
2. To spend my wealth for the sake of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہِ وَسَلَّم.
3. To remain present in the court of the Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of Ummat, the Owner of Jannah صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہِ وَسَلَّم.’
