Choice of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is my choice

Sayyiduna Anas Bin Maalik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that a tailor invited the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, (Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ says): I also joined the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The tailor placed Roti (bread) and curry of the blessed gourd and meat before the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.  I saw the Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم eating the blessed gourd from the pot after searching for it (after relating this, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said while mentioning his own practice): ‘فَلَمۡ اَزَلۡ اُحِبُّ الدُّبَّاءَ مِنۡ يَوۡمِئِذٍ’, i.e. since that day, I like the blessed gourd. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 17, Hadees 2092)

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! What great passion the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم had for obeying the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and what great yearning they had to adopt every blessed practice of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Look at the state of their devotional love for the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that whatever Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would like, they would also make it a part of their liking too. So what would be the state of obedience upon the matters that the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would command for? In this relation, let’s listen to a few beautiful parables about the obedience of the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah’s practice upon the blessed saying                      of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

Once a beggar came to Umm-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا. She رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا gave him a piece of Roti. Then a well-dressed person came, she رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا gave him food after having him seated. People asked the reason for the different treatments. She رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا said, ‘The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘اَنۡزِلُو النَّاسَ مَنَازِلَهُمۡ’, treat every person according to his status. (Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 343, Hadees 4842)
