THE PROPHET’S(S) WILL CONCERNING ABU DHARR


Sheik Abu Ali Tabarsi writes in his book, Makarim al Akhlaq, and several
other reliable sources relate that when Abu Asad Deelmi went to Rabza
to meet Abu Dharr, he told him that when one early morning he entered
the Prophet’s Mosques in Medina none other was present with the
Prophet (a.s) except for a copy of the Holy Quran and a hamael (a miniature
compilation of the Holy Book). Being alone with the Holy Prophet
(a.s), he took courage in his hands to ask him, “O Lord of the Universe!
Kindly give me such advice that it is advantageous to me in both the
worlds.”
The Prophet (a.s) looked at him intently and said, “Abu Dharr! For us
you are a member of our family! In my eyes you are a chosen creation of
Allah. Listen, and listen with care, remember and act on my advice. “O
Abu Dharr! Worship Allah as if you are seeing Him! And if you cannot
see Him, then definitely He sees you!’”
This tradition of the Prophet (a.s) is the comprehensive utterance of
the Prophet (a.s) that might require volumes to explain and elucidate.
We are trying to dwell on the subject briefly in the steps dealt with in the
following chapter. My humble effort may not measure up to the comprehension
of the eloquence of the Great Personality, but it is my duty to
make an effort. Insha Allah!
