Divine Ties :wub:
The ties which bind Muhammad, upon him be peace, to the Light of the Heavens and Earth are beyond all counting. His every effort was devoted to transforming his environment into one of worship, submission to Allah, remembrance of his name, and thanksgiving.
Imam Nasai related on the Authority of Yaqub ibn Asim that two of the Prophet's Companions heard him say:
A believer never says, 'There is no god but Allah. He is One and has no partner. His is the dominion and His is all praise; and He is powerful over everything,' with the sincerity of his soul, the veracity of his heart, and the full power of utterance of his tongue, except that Allah parts the heavens asunder so that He may look down on that man on earth! And, of course, a man that Allah has especially looked upon deserves to receive what he asks for!
What the hadith purports to say is that a believing heart, overflowing with sincerity and truth, will propel a declaration of belief from the lips of the believer directly to the throne of the Almighty: and that thereafter the believer will never want anything!
