اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـهِ These are preserved with many devotees of the Messenger of Allah to this day.
Caught a blessed strand of hair
Once, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was running between Ṣafā and Marwah when a strand of his blessed hair was separated from his blessed beard and descended towards the ground. Sayyidunā Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ quickly moved forward and took hold of it before it reached the floor. Making dua for him, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “May Allah Almighty remove every disliked matter from you.”[1]
The blessed Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ are the standard of faith
O devotees of the blessed hair! Reflect on how these are the blessed Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ that have been declared a benchmark of faith. Allah Almighty states:
فَاِنۡ اٰمَنُوۡا بِمِثۡلِ مَاۤ اٰمَنۡتُمۡ بِہٖ فَقَدِ اہۡتَدَوۡا ۚ
If they (i.e. the Jews) then also believe in the same way as you (O Companions of the Prophet Muhammad) have believed, so they are rightly guided.[2]
It is apparent that the expressions of faith of the noble Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ are guidance for us. It is only when we bring faith like the faith of the noble Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ that we will be guided.
