Story Of Speaking Truth

 



As a Muslim, we all know that we should always speak the truth. This can save us from a lot of trouble. Once a person came to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and said: Prophet (PBUH) I have a lot of bad habits. Which one of them should I give up first? Prophet (PBUH) said: “Just start telling the truth”. The man promised Prophet (PBUH) that he will not tell a lie from now on.


At night, the man was about to go and steal but before setting out he thought that today he made a promise to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that he will not tell a lie and if he steals and tomorrow Prophet (PBUH) asks me where I had been what shall I say? Shall I say that went out stealing? No I can’t say that, neither can I lie and if I tell the truth than everybody will start hating me and call me a thief. The man decided not to steal that night and left the bad habit of stealing. 


Next day he felt like drinking alcohol. When he was about to drink, he thought “What shall I say to Prophet (PBUH) if he asks me what did I do whole day? I cannot tell a lie as I promise him and if I tell the truth everybody will hate me.” So he gave up the idea of drinking alcohol. 


In this way whenever he thought of doing something bad, he remembered the promise that he made with Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) of always speaking truth. In this way he left his all bad habits one by one and become a good Muslim.

  Three days before his death, while the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad(PBUB) was visiting the house of Umm Al-Mumineen, Hazrat Maimuna(may Allah be pleased with him)  , he said:  "Gather my wifes."  All the spouses gathered.  The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked:  "Do you all allow me to spend the day of illness with Ayesha (may Allah be pleased with him)?"  They all said: O Messenger of Allah!  Then he wanted to get up but he could not get up, so Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Talib(may Allah be pleased with him)   and Hazrat Fazl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) went ahead and lifted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with support.  They started to lead him towards the cell.  At that time, when the Companions saw the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for the first time in this (illness and weakness) state, they began to ask ea...

(PBUH)Al-Sadiq (The truthful one) and Al-Amin (The trustworthy one).

 (PBUH)Al-Sadiq (The truthful one) and Al-Amin (The trustworthy one).  Muhammad (PBUH) was well known for his good manners and honesty. He was known as Al-Sadiq (The truthful one) and Al-Amin (The trustworthy one).  There are many stories related to Muhammad’s youth. These stories tell us how he used to take the sheep to graze and was always kind to them. While they grazed he would sit thinking about the mysteries of nature. Unlike those around him, he never worshipped the idols and never swore by them.  He also wondered why people were always struggling for power and money. He was a quiet, thoughtful boy, and rarely played with other boys of his age. On one occasion, however, Muhammad (PBUH) went with some of the boys to a wedding in Makkah. When he reached the house he heard the sounds of music and dancing but just as he was about to enter he suddenly felt tired; which made him sit down and fall asleep. He did not wake up until late the next morning and thus missed...
