~:C.C.4.U:~ *You Can Not Please Everyone*!~Moosaa(a.s)Aisha(r.a.)Imam Shaafi’ee(r.a)Hasan al-Basree(r.a)

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah.     As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu     You Cannot Please Everyone. A man said to al-Hasan al-Basree (rahimahullaah) :   'The people sit around you so that they may find fault with you!'   So he said, 'Indeed, I encouraged my soul to aspire for Paradise so it aspired for it.   Then I encouraged it to aspire for salvation from Hellfire and so it aspired for it.    Then I encouraged it to aspire for salvation from the people, but I didn't find a way to that.     Indeed the people were not pleased with their Creator although He provides for them, so how can they be pleased with another creation like themselves?' [1]. Prophet Moosaa ('alayhis salaam) said:-      'O my Lord, the people say things about me which are not (i.e. not true)! So Allah (Azza Wa Jall )revealed to him:-    'O Moosaa, I did not make that (privilege) for Myself, so how can I make it the case for you?' [2] Maalik bin Dinaar:-    'Since I have known (the reality of) people, I have not taken delight in their praise nor have I hated their criticism.'   It was said to him, 'Why is that?' He said, 'The one who praises from amongst them is excessive and the critic from amongst them exaggerates! " [3] 'Aisha (radiyallaahu `anha) wrote to Mu'aawiyah (radiyallaahu` anhu):    'Salamun 'alayk. Amma ba'd, I have heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) say, 'Whoever gains the Pleasure of Allah by the anger of the people (i.e. thereby gains their anger),   Allah suffices him of the people's troubles. ' And whoever gains the pleasure of the people by the Anger of Allah (i.e. in the process he gains His Anger), then Allah leaves him to the people.' Wa-Salaamu 'alayk.' [4] Imam ash-Shaafi'ee:    'There is nobody except that he has someone who loves him and someone who hates him.. So if that's the case, let a person be with the people who are obedient to Allah `azza wa jall!'   (as they love and hate for the Sake of Allah and they are not unjust) [5]     'A L H A M D U L L I L A H '!!!!

But will abide {Forever}   the Face of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour"  {'Quran'- Surah Al-Rahman-55.26-27 } 'Wasting time is Worse than Death! Because Death Separates you from this World  Whereas wasting Time Separates you from Allah'. Ibn Qayimm Al-Jawziyyah.   I Want to Die With my Forehead on the Ground! The Sunnah in my Heart, Allah on my Mind, Qur'an on my Tongue, and Tears in my Eyes! 'Insha Allah'!  ' Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever each day passes then part of you has Gone.  {Al-Hasan Al-Basree}
