Fred og velsignelser være med ham

Peace be upon he who aided the helpless
Peace be upon he who in his royal reign lived in poverty

Peace be upon he who explained the secrets of love
Peace be upon he who after being wounded, showered flowers

Peace be upon he who supplied the hungry and thirsty
Peace be upon he who after listening to abuse, made du'a for them

Peace be upon he who is mentioned in all the wada'if
Peace be upon he who was wounded in the markets of Ta'if

Peace be upon he whose obdurate family members waged war (against him)
Peace be upon he whose fellow countrymen harrased him

Peace be upon he whose home did not possess silver nor gold
Peace be upon he whose broken mat (made of palm leaves) was his bed

Peace be upon he who for the truth suffered difficulties
Peace be upon he who would remain hungry and feed others

Peace be upon he whose simple abode there is sightedness/understanding
Peace be upon he whose existence is an honour for mankind

Peace be upon he who filled the sacks of the poor
Peace be upon he who opened the holds of the prisoners

Peace be upon he for whom the moon and stars gave evidence
Peace be upon he whom the hard mountains gave evidence

Peace be upon he who cut to shreds the beliefs of polytheism
Peace be upon he who destroyed the picture of falsehood

Peace be upon he who explained the mystery of life
Peace be upon he who himself was beneficial in the battlefield of Badr

Peace be upon he who aided the helpless
Peace be upon he who in his royal reign lived in poverty.

Spring's gift

I envy the sand that met his feet

I’m jealous of honey he tasted sweet

Of birds that hovered above his head

Of spiders who spun their sacred web

To save him from his enemies

I envy clouds formed from the seas

That gave him cover from the heat

Of a sun whose light could not compete

With his, whose face did shine so bright

That all was clear in blinding night

I envy sightless trees that gazed

Upon his form completely dazed

Not knowing if the sun had risen

But felt themselves in unison

With those who prayed, and fasted too

Simply because he told them to

With truth and kindness, charity

From God who gave such clarity

His mercy comes in one He sent

To mold our hearts more heaven bent

I envy all there at his side

Who watched the turning of the tide

As truth prevailed and falsehood fled

And hope restored life to the dead

Men and Women through him found grace

To seek together God’s noble face

I envy the cup that gave him drink

His thoughts that helped us all to think

To be one thought that passed his mind

Inspiring him to act so kind

For me this world is not one jot

If I could simply be a thought

From him to God throughout the ages

As revelation came in stages

I pity all who think it odd

To hear him say there is one God

Or he was sent by God to men

To hone their spirits’ acumen

It’s pride that blinds us from the sight

That helps good men to see his light

He taught us all to be God’s slaves

And he will be the one who saves

Humanity from sinful pride

Muhammad has God on his side

So on this day be blessed and sing

For he was born to grace our Spring

With lilies, flowers, life’s rebirth

In a dome of green like his on earth

Den bedste parfume

Der findes flere slags parfumer, og alle har hver deres favoritter. Nogle foretrækker musk, mens andre foretrækker ambra, eller de kendte mærkevarer parfumer som man kan anskaffe sig overalt.

Sahabas yndlingsparfume var ikke en hvilken som helst parfume, det var hverken parfumer som de kendte mærker (såsom) Burberry og Hugo Boss, og ej heller ambra eller jasmin. Nej, for dem var duften af Profeten (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) højtelsket. Ikke kun fordi at de elskede ham mere end deres familie, rigdom, og dem selv - men især fordi Profetens (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) velsignede duft var noget meget særligt.

Den søde duft af Profetens (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) sved
Når det gælder Profeten (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) så er alt uden undtagelse særligt ved ham for Allah har skabt ham unikt på enhver måde.

Sved er naturligt for alle mennesker, og almindeligvist er sved kendetegnet ved at den har en ildeset lugt. Allah skabte Sin elskede (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) så fuldkomment at selv hans sved var fri for lugt og ubehag.

Et af hans (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) særlige egenskaber var at hans krop var duftende, selv uden brug af parfume (itr). På trods af dette brugte han parfume for at hans folk ville tage denne sædvane i brug og fordi parfume var højtelsket af ham.

Et af beviserne for at en sød duft var blandt hans egenskaber, og at det var den sødeste duft og at denne duft var sødere end ambra og musk, er denne hadith som er overleveret af Bukhari, Muslim og andre.

Sayyidina Anas (Allah være tilfreds med ham) sagde:

'I never smelled any ambergris or musk, or anything sweeter than the fragrance of the Messenger of Allah (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam), and I never touched anything, neither brocade nor silk, softer to touch than the Messenger of Allah (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam)' (Bukhari, Muslim)

Imam al-Tirmidhi (Allah være ham nådig) overleverer den med en smule anderledes ordlyd:

'Anas said: "I never smelled any musk or perfume sweeter than the fragrance of the sweat of the Messenger of Allah (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam)."' (Tirmidhi)

Det er overleveret af Abu Nu'aym og al-Khatib at Sayyida Amina - Profetens (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) ophøjede moder (Allah ophøje hendes rang) - sagde det følgende da hun beskrev Profetens (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) fødsel:

'...Then I looked at him, and he was like the full moon, and his scent was like strong musk.' (al-Khatib, Abu Nu'aym)

Sahaba brugte Profetens (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) sved som deres parfume

Imam Muslim (Allah være ham nådig) berettede at Sayyidina Anas (radi Allahu 'anhu) sagde:

'The Prophet (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) came to our house and slept the siesta with us, and began to perspire. My mother - Umm Sulaym bint Milhan - brought a perfume-bottle and began to decanter sweat into it. The Prophet woke up and said: "O Umm Sulaym, what are you doing?" She said: "We use your sweat as perfume, and it is the finest of perfumes." (Muslim)

Og i en anden overlevering forærede Profeten (Allahs fred og velsignelser være med ham) en beholder med denne særlige parfume til en af sine ledsagere:

Abu Ya'la and Tabarani narrated the Hadith concerning the story of the man who asked for the Prophet's (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) help preparing his daughter for her wedding when he had nothing. The Prophet (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) called for a vessel, collected some of his sweat therein, and said: 'Shake this, and let her use it as perfume.' When she put in on, everyone in the city smelled the scent of the perfume, and the family became known as 'the house of the fragrant ones'. (Fath al-Bari, Abu Ya'la)

Alt hvad han berørte efterlod hans duft

Tabarani og Bayhaqi overleverede at Wa'il sagde:

'Whenever I used to shake the Messenger of Allah's (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) hand, or touch his skin with mine, I would be aware of his touch on my hand afterwards: the scent was more fragrant than musk.' (Tabarani, Bayhaqi).

Sayyida 'Aisha (Allah være tilfreds med hende) sagde:

'The palm of the Messenger of Allah (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was softer than silk, and it was as though he had the hand of a perfume-seller, whether he wore perfume or not. When he shook hands with someone, that person would remark the fragrance for the rest of the day. If he patted a child's head, that child would be distinct from the other children by the fragrance. (Abu Nu'aym, Bayhaqi)

Sayyidina Anas (Allah være tilfreds med ham) sagde:

'When the Messenger of Allah (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) passed down any of Madina's streets, the people would notice the fragrant scent there, and would say: 'The Messenger of Allah (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) has been this way.' (Abu Ya'la, al-Bazzar)

Sayyidina Jabir bin 'Abdullah (Allah være tilfreds med ham) sagde:

'One of the attributes of the Messenger of Allah (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was that no one would walk down a street, after he (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) walked down it, without knowing that he had been that way, by the fragrance of his sweat and his sweet scent. Another is that he would never pass by a stone except that it would prostate before him.' (al-Darimi, Bayhaqi, Abu Nu'aym)

Sayyidina Wa'il ibn Hajar (Allah være tilfreds med ham) sagde:

'The Prophet (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was once given a pitcher of water. He drank from it, and then spat into the pitcher, then into the well, and a scent rose from it like the fragrance of musk.' (Musnad)

Det er af denne årsag at en digter (må Allah ophøje dennes rang) udtrykte så smukt:

And were a group of riders to follow you (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam)
Your (salla Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam) sweet fragrance would be enough to guide them.

Må Allahs fred og velsignelser være med vor Mester, Profeten Muhammad, hans rene familie og alle hans ædle ledsagere.

I Paradiset for at kysse det noble navn

Den store mujtahid imam og en af de mest fremtrædende autoriteter inden for den senere Hanafī skole, 'Allāma Muhammad Amin ibn 'Ābidīn al-Shāmī (d. 1252/1836) skriver i sit mesterværk af en kommentar, Radd al-Muhtār 'alā al-Durr al-Mukhtār, et af de mest fremragende værker nogensinde skrevet inden for islamisk fiqh:

Det er anbefalet når man hører det første vidnesbyrd (shahāda) at sige: »Allāhs velsignelser være på dig, Oh Allāhs Sendebud« (Sallā Llāhu 'alayka yā RasūlaLlāhi), og ved det andet: »Må mine øjne frydes ved (synet af) dig, Oh Allāhs Sendebud« (Qarrat 'aynī bika yā RasūlaLlāhi). Dernæst siges: »Oh Allāh forsyn mig fortsat med syn og hørelse« (Allāhumma matti'nī bis-sam'i wal-basri), efter placeringen af begge tommelfingernegle på ens øjne, for så vil han (Allāhs fred og velsignelser være med ham) sandelig være ens guide til Haven (al-Janna), som det er nævnt i Kanz al-'Ibād igennem Quhustānī. Og lignende findes i al-Fatāwā al-Sūfiyya, mens det i al-Firdaws er berettet at, »Enhver der kysser sine tommelfingernegle når han hører 'Jeg bevidner at Muhammad er Allāhs Sendebud', i kaldet til bøn, så vil jeg være hans guide og vil lade ham træde ind i Paradisets rækker« (Ibn 'Ābidīn, Radd al-Muhtār, bāb al-adhān; (Imam Ibn 'Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, Maktaba Hanafiyya (Pakistan) bind 2, s. 84).

Dette er blandt andet baseret på følgende hadith fra Sayyiduna Abū Bakr al-Siddīq (Allāh være tilfreds med ham):

Hver gang han [Abū Bakr] hørte den der kalder til bøn sige: »Jeg bevidner at Muhammad er Allāhs Sendebud,« plejede han at gentage dette og så kysse det øverste af sine tommelfingre og tørre dem over sine øjne. Profeten (Allāhs fred og velsignelser være med ham) sagde: »Den der end gør som min nære ven gjorde, for ham vil min forbøn finde sted« (al-Daylamī, al-Firdaws, i variende ordlyd).

Ovenstående er et uddrag fra Muwatta af den følgende tekst: Må mine øjne frydes af dig, Oh Allahs Sendebud.

Må Allahs fred og velsignelser være med vor Mester, Profeten Muhammad, hans rene familie og alle hans ædle ledsagere.

Profetens ophøjede karakter

A robe weaved from the twenty-nine letters
Would fall short of expressing his noble character.
