English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Said Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “How can I feel at ease when the Angel of the Trumpet, (Israfil) has put his lips to the Trumpet and is waiting for the order to blow it”. He ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) perceived as if this had shocked his Companions, so he ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) told them to seek comfort through reciting: `Hasbunallah WA ni`mal-Wakil [Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)]”.
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2431]
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Saba Ayat 30. “The appointment to you is for a Day, which you cannot put back for an hour (or a moment) nor put forward”
- This Hadith tells us about the fear of Allah and the fright of the hereafter entertained by theProphetﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) and his Companions. It teaches us how, in spite of being innocent and having the assurance of the forgiveness of Allah, they were always fearful of Allah and the horrors of the Day of Resurrection. As against them, we are immersed in sins, neglect and violate the Divine injunctions day and night but even then, we have neither the fear of Allah nor the fright of the Day of Resurrection.
- In the event of fear and anxiety one should seek the help of Allah and frequently recite the Verse of the Noble Qur’an “Hasbunallahu WA Ni`mal Wakil” [Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us).]” (3:173).
