To this, I replied, Aameen.”On the second step Sayyiduna Jibra’el said, ‘Unfortunate indeed is that person who in his lifetime has his parents or at least one of them, yet (by being of service to them), he did not achieve Jannah’. To this, I replied, Aameen.

When she commented about how brilliant the features of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was, he replied, “Destruction is for that person who would not be able to see my face on the day of Qiyamah”.

It is recorded that a hunter captured a buck and was passing by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Almighty Allah gave the buck the power of speech.

Please command the hunter to release me so that I can feed them and then return”.Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) asked her what would happen if she did not return. She replied, “If I do not return then the Curse of Almighty Allah will be upon me as the Curse of Almighty Allah is upon that person who does not read the Durood Shareef when you are mentioned. The curse of Almighty Allah is also upon that person who performs the Salaah but does not read the Du’a after it”.Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) then ordered the hunter to release the buck as she would return as promised after feeding her young. A few minutes later the buck did return. At that moment Sayyiduna Jibra’el Ameen presented himself to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and declared, “O Prophet of Allah! Almighty Allah sends His Salaams to you and has declared, ‘By My Respect and Magnificence! I am certainly more merciful upon your followers (O Muhammad) than this buck upon its young. I would also return your followers to you as this buck has return to you’”. (Al Qolul Badi)
