PROSTRATION OF THE ANGELS

407

“I see what you do not. The heaven creaks and is justified in doing so. In it there is no space equal to four fingers that is not occupied by an angel whose forehead prostrates before Allah. If you knew what I know you would laugh a little and weep a lot. You would not enjoy sexual intercourse with your wives - you would go out into the streets and open roads seeking refuge with Allah.”

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Abu Dharr who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

CONTENTMENT

Allah, the Exalted says,

“There is not a crawling (creature) on the earth

whose provision is not by Allah.....” 11:6 Koran

“(Charity is) for the poor

who are restrained in the way of Allah,

and are unable to journey in the land.

The ignorant take them to be rich

because of their abstinence.

But you can recognize them by their signs.

They do not persistently beg people.

Whatever good you give is known to Allah.” 2:273 Koran

“who when they spend

are neither wasteful nor miserly,

between that is a just stand. 25:67 Koran

“I have not created mankind and jinn

except to worship Me.

I do not desire provision from them,

nor do I desire that they should feed Me.” 51:56-57 Koran
