A MAn who Loves Cultivation

 In the world a man would exert himself in cultivation, tilling the soil and other concerns for his livelihood and to eed his children. He would endure hardship and heat because of that.

However, in Paradise, he will be in the midst of gardens, rivers, green fields and an honourable place, hence, he will not need to cultivate and plant. Nevertheless, a man of Paradise will wish to cultivate. Here is his story.

Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam was addressigng his Companions one day and a Bedouin man was present. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said:

´´A man from the people of Paradise will ask his Lord for permission to cultivate. Allah will ask him: ´Do you not have all that you want?´´ He will say: ´Of course, but I love to cultivate.´ So he will sow the seeds and in the bliking of an eye the plant will grow and its fruit will rippen and become like mountains. Allah will say: ´Here it is, O son of Aadam, nothing satisfies you.!´ When the Bedouin who was sitting among the companions heard this story, he said: ´O Messenger of Allah, By Allah! You won´t find him except he is from Quraysh or the Ansaae for these are the people that love to cultivate. As for us, we don´t cultivate anything The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam laughed.´´263

Salvation

 None will be saved on the Day of Resurrection except he who used to worship alah alone with Whom there is no associate. As for the other gods, they will lead their adherents into the Fire.

Voluntary Fasting

 Fasting is one of the major acts of worship with which Allah redeems the fasting person from the Fire. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Fasting is a shield against the Fire (of Hell) just like the shield one of you would use during fighting.´´80 The supererogatory fasting has its virtue. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who observes fast for a day in the path of Allah, He will remove his face from the Hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years.´ distance.´´81 The phrase ´in the path of Allah´ could either mean fasting a day sincerely, intending the pleasure of Allah; or fasting in the course of a military expedition in the path of Allah.

Backbiter and Tale-Bearer

 A backbiter is the individual who indugles in backiting which involves mentioning about your brother that which he would detest. The tale-bearer is the person who varries bad tale among the people in order to cause disaffection among them. These sins cause pervading tribulations, and enormous corruption also stems from them. Their perpetrators are among the worst of people and due to their capricious tongue, they speak as dictated by their whims and desires.  Their situation at the time of resurrection will be appalling as the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned, Whoever eats the flesh of his brother in the world (i.e. bacjbites), he will be presented to him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to him, Eat his dead as you have eaten him alive. He would eat him and he would scowl and scream.
