Dear
Islamic brothers! From this narration we learn about the great status and rank
of Shaikhain Karimain (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq
& Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِیَ اللہُ
تَعَالٰی عَنْھُم). When being a friend
of those who insult them was the cause of the man not being fortunate enough to
recite the Kalimah at the time of his death, just imagine what would be the
fate of those who actually make the insulting remarks!
Therefore it is vital
to stay away from those who disrespect Shaikhain Karimain رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھُم Only embrace the
company of the devotees of the Prophet and the servants of the Sahabah
and the Auliya. Illuminate the lamp of love for these great personalities in
your hearts and become worthy of receiving the blessings of both worlds. Love
of the pious servants of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is extremely beneficial in the grave
and in the Hereafter.
In this regard, a
person has narrated, ‘After a companion of my teacher died, my teacher saw him
in a dream and asked him, ‘What did Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ do with
you?’ He replied, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgave me.’ My teacher
then asked, ‘What happened with Munkar and Nakir [the questioning angels of the
grave]?’ His friend replied, ‘When they made me sit and began to question me, Allah
عَزَّوَجَلَّ put a thought into my heart and I said to the angels, ‘For the sake
of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and ‘Umar رَضِیَ اللہُ
تَعَالٰی عَنْھُم,
please leave me alone.’ Upon hearing this, one of the angels said
to the other, ‘He has presented the means of very renowned personalities, so
let’s leave him.’ After that they left me alone and went away.’
(Sharh-us-Sudur,
p. 141)
