Rich or poor..
When I was writing this, I was
listening to a great nasyeed, my mum is amazing.. It makes me missing my mom
and my family so much.. today, I went to radiological department of HTAA. I saw
a 20 year old boy, with swollen eyes.. it was normal to see teenagers around
the hospital, as they always involved in accident..but, this time it was
different.. he was caught by the police when he was trying to steal from a
house.. he looked so young.. I was very sad.. Alhamdulillah I was not born in a
poor family.. alhamdulillah all my sisters and brothers also born in my
family.. I could not imagine, one of us had to steal because he wanted to make
sure that all of us not in starvation.. I pray to Allah that He will grant me
wealth, but I am also afraid that I couldn’t be like Abdurrahman bin Auf.. have
you heard his story? He was indeed a good sahabah.. May I found someone like
him in my life.. Ameen.. let me share the story with all of you..
He was one the sahabat yang
dijamin syurga.. he reverted to Islam 2 days after Abu Bakar.. he went to
Madinah when Rasulullah announced about the hijrah.. when he arrived there, he
met with one sahabah (Ansar).. I couldn’t recall his name.. his sahabah offered
him one of his wives and his wealth. But he denied all the offer and asked the
sahabah to show him where the market is.. he was a famous businessman..
everywhere he went insya Allah, he will find wealth.. there is a famous saying
from another sahabah said that if Abdurrahman took a stone from a bushes, he
will find gold beneath the stone… despite being too rich.. he never forget to
contribute to Islam.. even in Tabuk, he offered too much of his wealth, until
Rasulullah asked him, do you left something for your family.. he answered, he
left something bigger and more valuable..of course, pahala yang besar buat
keluarga Abdurrahman.. even if I was to be his wife, I don’t know if I can
sacrifice in that way.. He must have very very good wives.. (he has 4 wives)..
Wealth is everyone’s dream.. it’s
one of the world tribulations..not to have one, and promising that once we’re
rich, we’ll help everybody is totally different from those having it.. if you
wanted to start contributing start it when you’re poor.. because insya Allah
when you’re rich, these wealth wont be so much problem to you..
