As Salam Alykom Mutawakkil
First off Masha Allah your posting effects are so special and innovative Mash a Allah
I was not attending to the forum for three days. I was hoping Red Sea diver to continue on the topic.
It is correct Abdur Rahman Ibn A`awof. The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم told him in a hadeeth that he saw him coming into Jannah crawling because of his wealth. He was very wealthy. In return, the whole Medina became almost partners with Abdur Rahman in his fortune. He lended money and never took it back or gave away as sadaqa. After the death of the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم Aysha once heard a high sound shaking Medina and observed people running out. She inquired. They told her it is a large trade caravan of Abdur Rahman's coming into Medina. She repeated the hadeeth of the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. when Abdur Rahman was told about her reaction, he said she reminded me of something I was told by my beloved Prophet. Accordingly he decided to give out the contents of the whole caravan for Sadqa.
May Allah shower those men with His Mercy and allow us to be with them in Jannah.
Ok Mutawakkil let us carry on....
