38. Together with Love & Respite for Peace

Together with Love                                        38
When a man enquired as to when the Hour will occur, the Prophet asked him, “…What preparation have you made for it?” The man said: I have not prepared for it except that I love God and His Messenger. He said, “You will be with those whom you love (In the Hereafter)
.” Anas said: I never saw Muslims ever so happy after Islam as they were after hearing this.
--Tradition by Bukhari and Muslim. Narrator: Anas. (Excerpt)
 
Respite for Peace                                          38
The doors of paradise are opened on Monday and Thursday and then every servant who does not ascribe divinity to anything beside Him is forgiven except a man between whom and his brother there is rancour. It is then said : give respite to these two till they come to peace.
--Tradition by Muslim. Narrator: Abu Hurairah.
