PROPHET: NOAH - NOOH (عليه السلام)

PART: 16

NOAH’S WILL –  لآإِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله 

Imam Ahmad has narrated from Abdullah bin Umar رضي الله عنه saying: While we were sitting with the Prophet  ﷺ a Bedouin came to him wearing a long garment (Jubbah) made in Saihan, Syria, woven with silk. The Prophet ﷺ said: “This friend of yours has put on a pure Persian style, and erased every sign of being shepherd.” Then he seized him with his Jubbah and said: “Do I not see upon you the cloth of those who do not employ their intelligence?” Then he said to him: “When death approached Prophet Noah, he gave his last advice to his children and said: ‘I am going to tell you my will: I am enjoining upon you two things and forbidding you from two things. I enjoin upon you to keep with the belief that there is no God (worthy of worship) but Allāh. IF THE SEVEN HEAVENS AND SEVEN EARTHS WERE TO BE PUT ON ONE SIDE OF THE SCALE, AND THE WORD “LA ILAAHA ILLALLAH” ON THE OTHER, THE LATTER WILL OUTWEIGH AND EXCEL THE FORMER. And I forbid you from SHIRK (ASSOCIATING EQUALS AND PARTNERS TO ALLĀH) and arrogance or haughtiness.”

WHAT IS HAUGHTINESS (KIBR)?

Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهsays that it was said to the Prophet ﷺ : “O Messenger of Allāhﷻ! We know what shirk means: but what is haughtiness? Does that mean when one of us has a pair of beautiful shoes with beautiful laces? The Prophet ﷺ answered: “No.” Then somebody said: “Is it to have a good dress and wear it?” The Prophet ﷺ replied again: “No.” Another person asked him whether or not it is to have an animal to ride on it? The Prophet ﷺ said: “No.” He was again asked whether it has anything to do with friendship and sitting together with them? The Prophet ﷺ said: “No.” They then asked him: “Then, what is haughtiness (Kibr)?” 

The Prophet ﷺ said: “HAUGHTINESS (KIBR) IS TO REJECT THE TRUTH AND DESPISE THE PEOPLE.”
