ABSTINENCE AND SELF-DENIAL OF THE
SAHABAH
There
is such a wealth of Ahadith about this aspect of the Prophet's life that it is
really difficult to choose a few examples. He said:
"Abstinence
is an asset of a Mo'min."
The Prophet's (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)
Dislike for gold:
The
Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said:
"My
Lord offered to turn the mounts of Mecca into gold for me. But my supplication
to Him was; 'O, Allah! I like to eat one day and feel hungry the next, so that
I may cry before Thee and remember Thee when I am hungry; and be grateful to
Thee and glorify Thee when my hunger is gone!"
Thus
said our Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam). We profess to follow him and are
proud of being in the fold of his Ummat. Isn't it incumbent upon us to follow
him in practice also?
