Did you visit your brothers?
Since 2012-11-17
Among the seven kinds of people whom will be protected by the shade of Allah, when there will be no shade but His, are two persons who love and meet each other and depart from each other for the sake of Allah.
All praise is due to Allah, and prayers and peace of Allah be upon the Messenger of Allah.
Actually, it is an act of obedience you can seek by it having nearness with Allah Almighty {And keep yourself (O Muhammad prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) patiently with those who call on their Lord (i.e. your companions who remember their Lord with glorification, praising in prayers, etc., and other righteous deeds, etc.) morning and afternoon, seeking His Face,} [Surat Al-Kahf 18:28]
{وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ} الكهف: 28
Transliteration: Waisbir nafsaka maAAa allatheena yadAAoona rabbahum bialghadati waalAAashiyyi yureedoona wajhahu
Furthermore; among the seven kinds of people whom will be protected by the shade of Allah, when there will be no shade but His, are two persons who love and meet each other and depart from each other for the sake of Allah. Indeed, among the rights of the Muslim person upon his brother is visiting him for the sake of Allah (Glorified and Exalted); the Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Would I tell you about the men among from the people of Paradise? The Prophet will be in Paradise, the martyr will be in Paradise, the truthful will be in Paradise, the baby will be in Paradise, and the man who visits his brother in a remote place, only for the sake of Allah, will be in Paradise.” [Reported by Al-Baihaqi and At-Tabarani and declared good by Al-Albani]
«ألا أخبركم برجالكم من أهل الجنة؟ النبي في الجنة، والشهيد في الجنة، والصديق في الجنة، والمولود في الجنة، والرجل يزور أخاه في ناحية المصر في الله في الجنة» رواه البيهقيوحسنه الألباني
And he (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah Almighty said: My love is due to those who love each other for My sake, and those who sit with each other for My sake, and those who visit each other for My sake, and those who give each other for My sake.” [Declared authentic by Al-Albani]
«قال الله تعالى: وجبت محبتي للمتحابين فيّ، والمتجالسين فيّ، والمتزاورين فيّ، والمتباذلين فيّ» صححه الألباني
And it is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “A person visited his brother in another town and Allah deputed an Angel to wait for him on his way and when he came to him he said: Where do you intend to go? He said: I intend to go to my brother in this town. He said: Have you done any favor to him (the repayment of which you intend to get)? He said: No, except that I love him for the sake of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious. Thereupon he said: I am a messenger to you from Allah: (to inform you) that Allah loves you as you love him (for His sake).” [Reported by Muslim]
«أن رجلا زار أخا له في قرية أخرى، فأرصد الله له، على مدرجته، ملكا؛ فلما أتى عليه قال: أين تريد؟ قال: أريد أخا لي في هذه القرية، قال: هل لك عليه من نعمة تربها؟ قال: لا، غير أني أحببته في الله -عز وجل-، قال: فإني رسول الله إليك، بأن الله قد أحبك كما أحببته فيه» رواه مسلم
Actually, visit leads to having convergence in the points of view, cordiality and amicability and limiting the disputes and conflicts; the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The most perfect believers are those who have the best manners and the modest who get accustomed with people and people get accustomed with them. And verily, there is no good in the one who is not accustomed with people and people are not accustomed with him.” [Declared good by Al-Albani]
«أكمل المؤمنين إيمانا أحسنهم خلقا، الموطؤون أكنافا، الذين يألفون و يؤلفون، و لا خير فيمن لا يألف و لا يؤلف» حسنه الألباني
And Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “He who visits a patient or a brother, a caller will call for him: may you be blessed and may your walking be blessed and may you have a place in Paradise.” [Reported by At-Tirmidhi and declared good by Al-Albani]
«من عاد مريضا، أو زار أخا له في الله ناداه مناد: أن طبت وطاب ممشاك وتبوأت من الجنة منزلا» رواه الترمذي، وحسنه الألباني
