Al-Quran

لَقَدْ جَاۤءَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيْزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيْصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ (التوبة:١٢٨)

There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you [i.e.,for your guidance/for your welfare] And to the believers is kind and merciful. (At-Tawbah [9] : 128)

﴿مَا عَنِتُّمْ﴾: عَنَتُكُمْ، ومَشَقَّتُكُمْ﴿عَزِيزٌ﴾: صَعْبٌ، وشاقٌّ عَلَيْهِ.

﴿حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ﴾ أَيْ: عَلَى هِدَايَتِكُمْ وَوُصُولِ النَّفْعِ الدُّنْيَوِيِّ وَالْأُخْرَوِيِّ إِلَيْكُمْ

أيْ: حَرِيصٌ عَلى إيمانِكم

قال قتادة أي حريصٌ على من لم يُسْلِمْ أن يُسلم.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ (الحج:٦٥)

Surely Allah is Very-Kind to the people, Very-Merciful.

﴿رَءُوفࣱ﴾: عظيمُ الرحمةِ شفيقٌ

لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ اَلَّا يَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ (الشعراء:٣)

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself (collapse) with grief that they will not be believers. (Ash-Shu'ara [26] : 3)

فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمْ اِنْ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوْا بِهٰذَا الْحَدِيْثِ اَسَفًا(الكهف:٦)

Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow. (Al-Kahf [18] : 6)

فَلَا تَذْهَبْ نَفْسُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسَرٰتٍۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ ۢبِمَا يَصْنَعُوْنَ (فاطر:٨)

So, (O Prophet,) let not your soul collapse in grief for them. Surely Allah knows well what they are doing.

وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِيْ ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُوْنَ (النحل:١٢٧)

And be patient, [O Muhammad], and your patience is not but through Allah. And do not grieve over them and do not be in distress over what they conspire(Plot). (An-Nahl [16] : 127)

202 صحيح مسلم كتاب الإيمان باب دعاء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لأمته وبكائه شفقة عليهم

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recited the saying of Allah Almighty about Abraham, upon him be peace, “My Lord, the idols have misled many people, so whoever follows me is part of me,” (14:36). And the words of Jesus, upon him be peace, “If You punish them, they are Your servants, but if You forgive them, You are the Almighty, the Wise.” (5:117). Then the Prophet raised his hands and he said, “O Allah, my nation, my nation!” And the Prophet wept. Allah Almighty said, “O Gabriel, go to Muhammad– and your Lord is most knowing –and ask him why he is crying.” Gabriel came to him and he asked him and the Prophet told him about it, though Allah knows best. Allah said, “O Gabriel, go to Muhammad and say: Verily, We will please you regarding your nation and We will not disappoint you.”

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or remove one of his troubles, or forgive his debt, or feed his hunger. That I walk with a brother regarding a need is more beloved to me than that I seclude myself in this mosque in Medina for a month. Whoever swallows his anger, then Allah will conceal his faults. Whoever suppresses his rage, even though he could fulfill his anger if he wished, then Allah will secure his heart on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever walks with his brother regarding a need until he secures it for him, then Allah Almighty will make his footing firm across the bridge on the day when the footings are shaken.”

Then he sent a messenger to invite the people to his food. Some accepted the invitation and others did not. Allah is the King and the land is Islam, the house is Paradise and you Muhammad are the Messenger. Whosoever responds to your call enters Islam. And whosoever enters Islam enters Paradise. And whosoever enters Paradise eats from it.

The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered to us a sermon on the Day of Nahr. He said, "Do you know what is the day today?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give that day another name. He said, "Isn't it the Day of Nahr?" We said, "It is." He further asked, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied: "Yes! It is." He further asked, "What town is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it the forbidden (Sacred) town (of Mecca)?" We said, "Yes. It is." He said, "No doubt, your blood and your properties are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours, till the day you meet your Lord. No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's message to you? They said, "Yes." He said, "O Allah! Be witness. So it is incumbent upon those who are present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent because the informed one might comprehend it (what I have said) better than the present audience, who will convey it to him. Beware! Do not renegade (as) disbelievers after me by striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another."

Sahih al-Bukhari 1741

Best Ummah

كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ اُمَّةٍ اُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ ۗ

You are the best ‘Ummah ever raised for mankind. You bid the Fair and forbid the Unfair, and you believe in Allah

يَعْنِي: خَيْرَ النَّاسِ لِلنَّاسِ It means: the best of people for people

ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنْ سَرَّه أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأُمَّةِ فَلْيؤدّ شَرْط اللَّهِ فِيهَا. رَوَاهُ ابْنُ جَرِيرٍ.

"We were told that Umar bin Al-Khattab recited thisAyah(3;110) during aHajjthat he performed, when he saw that the people were rushing. He then said, `Whoever likes to be among this (praised)Ummah, let him fulfill the condition that Allah set in thisAyah."'

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ:

"إنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَى الأنْبِيَاءِ كُلُّهُمْ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَهَا، وَحُرِّمَتْ عَلَى الأمَمِ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَهَا^(٨٥) أمتِي"

Chosen One

اَللّٰهُ يَجْتَبِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيَهْدِيْٓ اِلَيْهِ مَنْ يُّنِيْبُۗ(الشورى:١٣)

Allah chooses (and pulls) toward Himself anyone He wills, and guides to Himself anyone who turns to Him (to seek guidance).

Likewise

وَجَاهِدُوْا فِى اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهٖۗ هُوَ اجْتَبٰىكُمْ

وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِى الدِّيْنِ مِنْ حَرَجٍۗ مِلَّةَ اَبِيْكُمْ اِبْرٰهِيْمَۗ هُوَ سَمّٰىكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ەۙ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَفِيْ هٰذَا لِيَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ شَهِيْدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَاۤءَ عَلَى النَّاسِۖ

And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. He [i.e., Allah] named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people.

قَالَ كَلَّاۗ اِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّيْ سَيَهْدِيْنِ (الشعراء:٦٢)

He said, “Never! Indeed with me is my Lord. He will guide me.”

اِلَّا تَنْصُرُوْهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّٰهُ اِذْ اَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ اِذْ هُمَا فِى الْغَارِ

اِذْ يَقُوْلُ لِصَاحِبِهٖ لَا تَحْزَنْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَنَاۚ

فَاَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَكِيْنَتَهٗ عَلَيْهِ وَاَيَّدَهٗ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلٰىۗ وَكَلِمَةُ اللّٰهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَاۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ (التوبة:٤٠)

If you do not help him, (it makes no difference to the Prophet, because) Allah has already helped him when the disbelievers expelled him, and he was the second of the two, when they were in the cave, and he was saying to his companion, “Do not grieve. Allah is surely with us.”So, Allah caused His tranquility to descend on him,and supported him with troops that you did not see, and rendered the word of the disbelievers humiliated. And the word of Allah is the uppermost. Allah is Mighty, Wise.

The Prophet kept reassuring him and strengthening his resolve, saying,

يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَا ظَنُكَ بِاثْنَينِ اللهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا

O Abu Bakr! What do you think about two, with Allah as their third!
