Excellence of Friends of Allah

The Test of Hazrat Hassan Basri (may Allah be pleased with him) A great man thought in his heart whether these people would stand up when Hajjaj bin Yusuf came or not. See the great test. Hazrat Hassan Basri (may Allah be pleased with him) would not preach in the gathering of his companions until Rabia Basri arrived. When asked why, what did he say? See what commands were on his tongue at the time of his death. 

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Break all the pulpits and forbid the preachers from preaching." Who was the person who was allowed to preach? Why did Hazrat Hassan Basri go to the cemetery and cry and what did he say? Have we ever thought about the great ones? Why were they so worried about the hereafter? It is worth noting that they would cry so much because of just one sin that would make them faint. 

And how many disobediences do we have in our day and night? Have we ever realized that we, too, should repent or turn to Allah Almighty? Hazrat Hassan Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) gave three pieces of advice to Saeed bin Jair (may Allah have mercy on him), such advice that can change our lives. 

This book is full of many other true incidents of great men like Hazrat Hassan Basri (R.A); when you read this book, your faith will surely be refreshed. The book is very important. Read it in detail, Insha Allah, it will be beneficial.
