day or night, I offer two cycles of Nafl Tahiyya-tul-Wudu. However, the intent here is that he offered the prayer in the times not disliked by Shar’iah, so this Hadith does not contradict others.

Remember, the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked Sayyiduna Bilal رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ this so that he gives this answer and the Ummah can act upon it. Otherwise, the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is already aware of everyone’s apparent and concealed actions. Also, this rank for praying these Nawafil is for Sayyiduna Bilal رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ alone; thousands of people will offer this prayer, even with consistency, but they will not acquire this virtue of servitude.^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! From this narration, we have come to know the rank of Sayyiduna Bilal رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, as well as the importance and virtue of Tahiyya-tul-Wudu. We should also try to offer this prayer whenever we perform Wudu, as long as it is not a Makruh time.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Tents made of emeralds and rubies

Whilst travelling through the beautiful valleys of Paradise, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم arrived at a river called Baydhakh. There were tents made of pearls, green emeralds and red rubies near the river. Then avoice said: اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیْکَ یَا رَسُوْلَ اللہ. The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم: “What was that sound?” He عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم replied: “That was the Hoors concealed in the tents. They sought permission from Allah Almighty to give you salaam and He allowed them to do so.” Then they [the Hoors] said: “We remain happy and will never be a cause of displeasure or hatred. We will live forever and never perish.”^[2]
