Islamic Stories, - Resting on a sackcloth

Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: Once
Iwent to the Holy Prophet(SAW). He was resting ona sackcloth, which
had welted his body. Seeing this I began to weep. He said: "Why are
you weeping?" I said: "These Caesars and Chosroes, the kings of
Byzantium and Iran, sleep on carpets of silk and velvetand you have to
take rest on sackcloth! I weepbecause of this." He said:"There is no
need of weeping over it" (for theworld is for them and for us is the
hereafter). Extracted from the book"Shamail-e-Tirmidhi" by Shaikh
Ahmed E. Bemat.
All the pleasures of this world are temporary. So,let us strive hard
for the hereafter where Allah will grant us unimaginable forms of
pleasures. - - ▓███▓ Translator:-> http://translate.google.com/m/
