_Imaam Ibn Qudaamah Al-Maqdisi -rahimahullaah-_
Said:
Al-Awzā’ī Rahimahullāhu said:
Ya Amīru Al-Mu’minīn, Allāh commands His beloved Messenger sallallāhu alayhi wasallam to warn His closed relatives.
Allāh says:
“وأنذر عشيرتك الأقربين”
And warn your nearest relatives..”
*Suratu Ash-shu’arā, verse 214.*
In this regard, it is reported from Abu Hurairah radiyallāhu anhu who said_ The Messenger of Allāh sallallāhu alayhi wasallam said:
_”يا عباس، وياصفية ويافاطمة، إني لست أغني عنكم من الله شيئا، لي عملي ولكم عملكم”_
_” Ya ‘Abbas, safiyyah, and fātimah, verily, I have no power to protect you from Allāh in anything, my deeds belongs to me and your deeds belongs to you..”_
Transmitted and recommended by Imām Al-Bukhārī in his ‘Sahih’#2753 and Imām Muslim in his ‘Sahih#206 with its meaning.
After that, Al-Awzā’ī stood up and he wanted to leave. Then Amīru Al-Mu’minīn said to him: where are you going?
He said: To my home town with the permission of the Amīru Al-Mu’minīn.
Amīru Al-Mu’minīn said: I permitted you, and I thank you for your nasīha, and I accept it with full acceptance, may Allāh guide me to good, and assist me on it, and upon Him I rely, and do not seize to always give me such admonition when needed, for your nasīha is always welcome.
Al-Awzā’ī said: I will do that in shā Allāh.
He was then ordered to be given some money for his journey by Amīru Al-Mu’minīn, but Al-Awzā’ī rejected it and said:
I don’t need it, for I don’t sell my nasīha for worldly profits.
*11th Rabī’u Al-Awwal, 1438H.*
Allāhu A’alam! Bārakallāhu fīkum!
