Salaf Stories is a Collection of different events throughout our Islamic history of the righteous before us.
‘Some of the students of al-Buhlul said: A letter was handed to al-Buhlul so he opened it and it was in it:
“From a woman from Samarqand of Khurasan [near Afghanistan], I am a woman who committed all types of sins that no other ever committed, but turned to Allah and repented, and I asked about the worshippers living on earth so I was informed of four worshippers, one of them is al-Buhlul in Africa. O Buhlul, I ask you by Allah to invoke Allah for me so He maintain for me this Guidance”
Upon reading this, the letter fell off the hands of al-Buhlul and he fell on his face weeping and crying until he wet the letter with his tears then he said [blaming himself]: O Buhlul! From Samarqand Khurasan [They know of you]? Woe to you if Allah did not cover you [i.e. conceal your faults and make you unknown]!
This story is a lesson to all those who seek knowledge to debate so and so or to give lectures and talks so people know him, or so that people approach him to ask him questions, or to be called a shaykh or a student of knowledge, and it is for those who dislike it when someone does not pay attention to what they say, or feel insulted when someone call them laypeople, and for those who learn but do not act upon what they learn, and for those whose knowledge did not increase the sense of fearing Allah in their hearts, for those who thinks knowledge is about memorizing and for those and for those…
Are you as Committed as Suhaila? Have you seen an intelligent Thief who was Fasting & afraid to do Bid’a? Or maybe sending blessings on the Prophet (saws) will remove all your problems? Do you want to see Miracles & True Dreams of the righteous before us?
We hope – by reading their examples, and following them – you will increase in Emaan [belief], insha’ Allah.
Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding.. (Yusuf 12:111)
