Bismillah .. Salaam Alaikum, dear brothers and sisters ..
The following Hadith is so profound and so true about life for everyone that I thought of sharing it with all of you.
The Prophet once slept on a reed mat and got up with the marks
of it on his body. His companions saw the marks and expressed
concern that they should have made him more comfortable. The
Prophet replied: "What have I to do with this world? In relation
to this world, I am like a rider who shades himself under a tree
and then (continues on his way)."
Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1351
May Allah (SWT) Bless our beloved Prophet (S.A.W.) and the noble members of his Household (A.S.) ... Ameen.
