His Legacy
Sayyidina Aishah RA has related that the Holy Prophet SAW left neither dinars nor dirhams, neither a goat nor a camel. From another tradition from Umar Ibn Harith RA, the Hloy Prophet SAW left nothing save a few weapons, a mule and a small plot of land , which had, in fact, been already given as sadaqa (charity). (Kitabush-shifa)
It has been related by sayyidin Anas RA that the Holy Prophet SAW performed hajj on an old saddle covered with a piece of coarse woollen material not worth more than a few dirhams.
On this occasion he prayed as follows:
Oh, Allah! Do make this a real hajj free from ostentation and hypocrisy.
He had performed this hajj when the treasures of the world lay open at his feet and he had with him one hundred camels for sacrifice. |
