Dear Islamic brothers! It is not difficult to fulfil the rights of your neighbours. If Allah forbid, we face deprivation on the Day of Judgement, we will be in great loss. May Allah grant us the ability to fulfil the rights of our neighbours and all Muslims around us.

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ عَلَیْہِ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم 

3 actions that make you beloved to Allah and His Messenger

The Companion, Sayyidunā ʿAbd al-Raḥmān رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ narrates:

One day, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم performed wuḍū. Out of love for him, the Companions began to rub the remaining water upon their bodies, seeking to acquire its blessings.

Hearing this answer, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم declared, “Whoever wants to love Allah and His Messenger, or have Allah and His Messenger love him, should be truthful when he speaks, be trustworthy when entrusted, and be good to his neighbour.”  ^[1]

Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khān Naīʿmi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه comments on this hadith by saying:

This highlights how utilising the Prophet’s leftover water from wuḍū to gain blessings is neither forbidden nor useless. One can indeed attain blessings from this, but this action alone is not
