Blessings
Narrated by al-Bukhaari in al-Adab al-Mufrad (no. 300) and by al-Tirmidhi in al-Sunan (2346). He said: It is hasan ghareeb.
Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, after narrating the hadeeth from a number of the Sahaabah: To sum up, the hadeeth is hasan inshaAllaah, when taking into account the hadeeths of al-Ansaari and Ibn ‘Umar. And Allaah knows best. End quote. Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (no. 2318).
I can fully appreciate this hadith living in a third world country. I still remember all those emails ciculating from yesteryears, the ones that mention that if you have a house, food in the fridge and a car you are in the top 2% of the world!!
Its amazing what people can do for shelter: Japan man discovers woman living in his closet [http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSCOO06330120080530]
Anyone seen “Blood Diamond”? I would say its a must see movie. Anyway, the part where the village is invaded, shows you how much of a blessing security is. Alhamdulilah, lived in Karachi for over 10 years and have still never seen a gun. But I’m a rare breed.
But right now food seems to be the main concern. Call at UN summit to scrap food export bans, end barriers [http://www.dawn.com/2008/06/04/top4.htm]
How are we gonna end the food shortage. Any ideas? Time no longer seems to be on our side: [ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7449523.stm ]. Anyone know of any steps that Prophet Yusuf (upon whom be peace) took to save people from starvation? Please provide references if your answering this, too many people end up lying to me about religion.
God have mercy on us all in this world, and may He grant us impunity from his punishment in the next.
