Mishkat al-Masabih 5328 — (Ar-riqaq) Words that soften the heart

'Umar bin Al-Khattab Narrated from:

Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab رضي الله عنه narrated that one day he went to the mosque of Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. There, he found Sayyiduna Mu'adh sitting by the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم grave weeping. So, he asked him, "What makes you weep." He said, "One thing that I had heard from Allah's Messenger makes me weep.He said, 'A slight showing off is polytheism. And he who is hostile to a friend of Allah (and comes him inconvenience in any way) is as though he prepares to fight with Allah. (One who fights with Allah is doomed.) Surely, Allah loves (the righteous) the pious, the abstinent and the quiet ones. They are such as are not missed when they are absent. They are not invited and not brought nearer when they are present. Their hearts are lamps of guidance (in their internal and spiritual ways). They emerge from every dark place.'" [1]
