Soleiman ibn Abd al Malik, he visited Medina
once, and he stayed there for 3 days,
and he asked the people that isn't there
anyone
who accompanied the companions of the Prophet that
can speak to us and give us a
reminder? So they said there is a man
by the name of Abu Hazim, and When
Suleiman sent for him and he came, they
had a long conversation.
And from it, I'll mention 3 points.
Three questions that Suleiman asked Abu Hazim. One
of the questions he asked him was, oh,
Abu Hazim, why do we hate death? Why
do we dislike death? To which he replied,
it's because you have built your dunya,
and you have ruined your akhirah.
And you hate to leave that which is
built
to that which is in ruins.
Then he asked him, how will it be
when we approach Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, when
we return to Allah? Allah? To which he
replied, as for the Muslim, the one who
has done good.
For this individual, it's like when he's returning
home, after being absent for a long time,
they return happy and excited.
But as for the person who did bad,
then it's as if they are a fugitive,
a runaway.
And they get captured,
and they return scared and fearful of what's
waiting for them. And upon hearing this, Suleiman,
he started crying. And then he asked him
that what do we have with Allah? To
which Abu Hazm said that weigh yourself, weigh
your deeds against the book of Allah, and
you will know where you fall because Allah
says in the Quran.
This statement of his personally hit me really
hard.
Because it's true. If we look at ourselves,
and we look at our deeds,
and we put it in front of the
Quran when Allah talks about the believers and
their characteristics,
and other than that,
where do we fall? May Allah truly forgive
our sins and our shortcomings,
and make us amongst those individuals who strive
to Jannah.
