When Something Pleases You #2

Anas b. Mālik (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out towards the Khandaq (Trench) and saw the Muhajirīn (Emigrants) and the Ansar (Helpers) digging the trench in the cold morning. They had no slaves to do that (work) for them. When the Prophet ﷺ saw their hardship and hunger, he said, ‘O Allah! The real life is the life of the Hereafter, so please forgive Ansar (Helpers) and the Muhajirīn (Emigrants).” They said in reply to him, “We are those who have given the Pledge of allegiances to Muhammad to observe Jihād as long as we live.” (Bukhārī 4099, Muslim 1805)Ibn ‘Abbās (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhumā) narrated that the Messenger of Allah stood on (the plains of) Arafat and when he said: “Labbayk Allahumma labbayk (At Your service, O Allah, at Your service)”, he said: “Labbayk, innama-l-khayru khayru-l-ākhirah (At Your service (O Allah!), the real goodness is the goodness of the Hereafter).” (Ibn Khuzaymah 4/260)
