Sahabaahs’ love for the Sunnah - Part 2


Hadhrat Huzayfah’s (RA) does not forsake the
sunnah
Hadhrat Huzayfah ibn Yamaan (RA) is the
conqueror of Iran. When Iran was attacked, its
ruler Khosroe, invited him to his court for
negotiations. When he entered the court, food
was served to him which he began to eat.
Whilst eating, a morsel of food fell onto the
ground.
It is the teaching of our Nabi [sallallahu alayhi
wasallam] that on such occasions the morsel
should be picked up, cleaned and eaten, as it is
Allah’s gift of sustenance and none knows
which part of the food contains Allah's special
blessing.
When Hadhrat Huzayfah (RA) intended to pick
up the fallen morsel from the ground, a man
sitting by his side tried to stop him from that
act, as it might degrade him in the eyes of the
King and his courtiers. In reply, Hadhrat
Huzayfah (RA) uttered this wonderful
sentence:
"Should I give up the Sunnah of my beloved
Nabi for the sake of these fools? I cannot do
that, irrespective of what the Iranians think of
me.”
Look at the steadfastness of the noble
Sahaabah on the sunnah of Rasulullah
[sallallahu alayhi wasallam].
Honour, dignity and respect can only be
achieved by strictly adhering to the noble
sunnah of Rasulullah [sallallahu alayhi
wasallam].
