Hazrat Ibn Abbas (ra) used to say: When the Prophet (saw) sent Hazrat Mu'adh (ra) to the people of Yemen, he (saw) said to him: “You are going to a people who are from the People of the Book. So let the very first thing to which you call them be that they accept Allah the Exalted as One. When they understand this, then tell them that Allah has made five Prayers (Salat) obligatory upon them in their day and night. When they begin to offer (the Prayers), tell them that Allah has made Zakat obligatory upon them in their wealth, which will be taken from their rich and returned to their needy. When they accept this, then take (the Zakat) from them, and keep away from (taking) the finest and most precious wealth of the people.”

Isma'il narrated to us that Malik told me. He narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abdullah bin Abdur Rahman bin Abi Sa'sa'ah, Abdur Rahman from his father, and his father from Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (ra), that a man heard someone reciting “Say, ‘He is Allah, the One’” (Qur’an 112:2), repeating it over and over. When morning came, he came to the Prophet (saw) and mentioned this to him (saw), and that man regarded this Surah as little. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “By the One in whose hand is my life, this Surah is equal to a third of the Qur’an.” Isma'il bin Ja'far added something. He narrated from Malik, Malik from Abdur Rahman, Abdur Rahman from his father, and his father from Hazrat Abu Sa'id (Khudri (ra)) that my brother, Hazrat Qatadah bin Nu'man (ra), told me, narrating from the Prophet (saw).

He said: We were with the Prophet (saw) when a messenger from one of his (saw) daughters came to him (saw). She called him (saw) to her son, who was close to death. The Prophet (saw) said: “Go back and tell her that to Allah belongs what He takes and to Him belongs what He gives, and with Him everything has an appointed time. Tell her to be patient and to seek the pleasure of Allah.” His (saw) daughter sent the messenger back, saying that she adjured him to come to her without fail. Upon this the Prophet (saw) stood up, and Hazrat Sa'd bin Ubadah (ra) and Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal (ra) also stood up with him (saw). The child was handed to him (saw), and his breath was faltering, as though it were in an old water skin. Seeing this, tears flowed from his (saw) eyes. Hazrat Sa'd (ra) said to him (saw): O Messenger of Allah (saw), what is this? He (saw) said: “This is mercy, which Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants, and Allah too shows mercy only to those of His servants who are merciful.”

O Allah, if You know that this matter” (and then he should name the matter itself) “is good for me in the present and in the future,” (the narrator said, or he said:) “in my religion, in my life and for my end, then ordain it for me and make it easy for me, and then bless me in it thereafter.
