Stories Narrated By The Prophet #05 Good & Bad Times Are Tests From Allah

The prophet

said there were 3 people from the children

of Israel.

1 with a skin disease, the other person

was bald headed, and the third one was

blind.

Allah wanted to test them whether they would

be grateful or not, just like how they

are now being tested with hardship.

So Allah sent them an angel in the

shape of a human being. That angel first

went to the one with the skin disease,

and he asked him, what would you wish

for? The man replied,

beautiful and healthy skin is what he wishes

for. The people really looked down upon me.

So then the angel touched that man with

the skin disease and the disease went away

by the will of Allah.

And he was blessed not just with a

regular skin, no he looked beautiful fresh clear

and clean.

Then the angel asked him what kind of

property do you like the most? The man

replied, camels.

So the angel gave him a pregnant camel.

So more than just even one camel, Allahu

Akbar.

And the angel prayed, oh, Allah bless this

man's wealth. Next, that angel went to the

second man, the bald headed.

So he asked him, what would you wish

for? That man said, I wish for beautiful

and healthy hair. Then the angel touched that

man and the man ended up having healthy

and beautiful hair. Then the angel asked him,

what kind of property do you like the

most? The man replied, cows. I love cows.

So the angel gave him a pregnant cow,

and he made dua to Allah. Oh, Allah,

bless this man's wealth.

Lastly, the angel went to the 3rd man,

the one who was blind, and he asked

him, what would you wish for? The man

replied,

I wish for Allah

to return back my sight and be able

to see the people. Then the angel touched

that man and by the will of Allah,

his sight came back and he was able

to see. So the angel asked him, what

kind of property do you like the most?

He replied, sheep. I love sheep. So the

angel gave him a pregnant chief, Allahu Akbar.

And he prayed, oh Allah, bless this man's

wealth.

After some time, that first camel delivered the

baby,

the cow, and the sheep, and they start

to grow in numbers

so much so the prophet

remember to say

He said that the wealth of all these

three people grew so much each one filled

the valley. And

now

Allah will test them with ease

just like how he tested them with hardship.

Bismillah.

Allah sends an angel

in the shape focus on this point. Allah

sends the angel in the shape of what

the people used to look like. So the

angel came to the first one whether the

skin disease remember? The angel came with a

skin disease

and he was poor And he goes to

that person who's now rich with all these

camels and has beautiful skin and all that

got good stuff. So he told him, I'm

a poor man who's saying this the angel.

I have lost all of my means of

survival while I was traveling.

No one can help me today except Allah

and then you. I ask you by Allah

o brother the one who gave you such

beautiful color and beautiful skin beautiful property, all

that wealth. Give me just one camel. Remember

the man has a valley of camels now.

He said give me one camel

just so I can reach my destination.

The man replied,

I have many obligations.

Mashallah, he's a big shot now. I have

many obligations so I can't give you anything.

The angel in the image of a poor

man said,

I think I know you.

Didn't you have a skin disease back in

the day and you were poor

and people looked down upon you? Is that

not you? The man

replied, no. No. I got all this property

through inheritance and from my forefathers. I was

always rich and my father was always well

off.

The poor man said to him, had you

been lying? Then may Allah return you to

how you were before,

Then the angel left.

The angel left and he went to the

second guy. Remember the one who was bald

headed and poor, the angel went in that

shape and that form bald headed and very

poor and he told him

I'm a very poor man.

I have lost all of my means of

survival while on my journey.

No one can help me today except Allah

and then you. I ask by Allah the

one who gave you such beautiful hair,

The one who gave you so much money

and so many cows.

Give me one cow, just a cow, just

so I can reach my destination.

The man replied,

I have, many obligations. I I can't give

you anything today.

The angel in the image of a poor

man said, I think I know you. You

look familiar.

Were you not the bald headed man and

you were so poor and you were not

very comfortable with the way you look? The

man replied, no. No. That's, not me. I

got all this property through inheritance and from

my forefathers.

Basically, I was never poor. I was always,

comfortable like that. The poor man said, the

angel, had you been lying?

Then may Allah return you to how you

were before.

Then the angel left and went to the

last guy, the one who used to be

blind, remember? The one who asked for sheep?

That man,

he now received the angel in the shape

of a man who is very poor, and

he went to him and he said the

same thing as 12. He said to him

I'm a poor man, I have lost all

my means of survival while I was on

my journey. No one in the world can

help me today except Allah and then you.

I ask goodbye Allah, the one who has

returned back your sight to give me one

of your property. Give me just one sheep

so I can go and reach my destination.

Check the following response.

The man replied, true.

You're right.

I was blind,

and Allah has returned back my sight. And

I was poor, and Allah gave me all

this wealth. You know what? Don't just take

one sheep, basically.

Take whatever you want, however you want, as

many as you want for my property,

I will not stop you. Allahu Akbar. May

Allah make us generous and grateful, You Arab.

The angel said to him, keep your property.

What?

Does he not want one sheep? No.

Keep your property.

You and the other 2 men were tested.

This form of me asking you for money

was a test from Allah. And by the

way, you and I may face something like

that. Allah may send people in our way

as a test to see.

So then the angel tells that man who

was blind and now he can see,

Allah is pleased with you brothers and sisters.

That's the greatest reward Allah can ever give

someone. For the pleasure of Allah to be

given to someone, may Allah grant you and

I that reward. May Allah be pleased with

us.

Allah is pleased with you

and Allah is very angry upon the other

2. Brothers and sisters, may Allah make you

Allah's blessings.

Allah's blessings.
