Be the First to Help

Ibne Abbas (RA) narrates:
Rasulullah (Peace be upon him)
sent Abdullah ibne Rawaha (RA)
with a Jamaat (expedition) on a
Friday. His companions set off in
the morning, but he decided to
stay behind and catch up with
them after offering Salat-ul-
Jumah (Friday Prayers) with
Rasulullah (Peace be upon him).
When he did so, he was spotted
by Rasulullah (Peace be upon
him), who inquired: What
prevented you from going out
in the morning with your
companions. He replied: I
wanted to offer Salat-ul-Jumah
with you and then join them. He
said: If you spend all that is
present in the world, you will
still not be able to attain the
reward and virtues of those
who left in the morning.

Whenever the opportunity
comes to help Islam, we should
not delay and immediately take
part in helping. Allah has
promised great rewards and
forgiveness for those who are
always the first to sacrifice for
Islam.
