JazakAllah khair bro
heres something with regards to what youve posted
And this was Umar
http://www.aboouthmaan.com/
am sure that you all know the hadeeth in which ‘Umar (radee Allaahu ‘anhu) told the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) that he is more beloved to him then everything in this world except his own self, to which the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) informed him that he (‘Umar) would not truly believe until he made the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) more beloved to him than even his own self.
What was ‘Umar’s response to his?
Did he say ok, inshaa’Allaah and jazak’Allaahu Khair like many of us do today by which we really mean get lost or by which we have no intention of following what we are being told, i.e. you tell a brother to give up smoking (it’s haraam) and he says “inshaa’Allaah” but has no intention to give up smoking, thus playing politics with this word.
No!
He replied immediately by saying to the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) that he (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was more beloved to him (‘Umar) than his own self.
And this was ‘Umar (radee Allaahu ‘anhu). Within the space of a few minutes he had changed that which was in his heart and he heard and he obeyed.
Where are we from this?
Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) said:
“The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say: ‘
We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers’, and they say: ‘We hear, and we obey’ (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).” (2:285)
In the Tafsir of Imaam ibn Kathir he states that
“we hear and obey…” means: “
We heard Your statement, O our Lord, comprehended and implemented it, and adhered to its implications.”
So let us be of those who when we hear that Allaah said and His Messenger (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said we “…hear and obey…” by comprehending what was said, implementing it and adhering to its implications. Let us not be like the jews who when they heard they said:
“We hear your word and disobey.” (4:46) Wallaahu ta'aala 'aalam!
