Islamic Stories, - Look at a man who willenter paradise

One day the Prophet peace be upon him looked at a man and said:
Whoever likes to look at a man who will enter Paradise, let him look
at this man. Abdullah Ibn Abbas, whowas present and heard this
comment, followed the man who was favoured with this promise. He asked
his permission to be his guest which the man accepted. After observing
him for three consecutive nights, without seeing anythingextraordinary
about him, Abdullah Ibn Abbas said: I don't see anythingabout you
which qualifies you to enter Paradise more than the rest of us. Can
you remember one special thing you do of which I may not be aware.
After thinking for sometime the man said: Nothing is outstanding in my
life except one thing, may be, that I go to bed with a pure and sound
heart towards my friends (meaning to forgive others of their bad
qualities and to think good of everybody). Then Ibn Abbas exclaimed:
This is exactlywhat qualifies you to enter paradise. Source: from the
book"Luminaries of Islam" by Arafat K.El-Ashi
It is not easy to forgive others of their faults but let us try hard
to bring this quality in ourselves. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
