A Fine Companion –
During these difficult years of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, his beloved wife, Khadija, may Allah be pleased with her, passed away. She had been his trusted adviser in all his troubles and he would always seek reassurance from her. This has been discussed in Imam Ibn Kathir’s, the Life of the Prophet, Volume 2, Page 81.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, once eulogized her when remembering her years later. He said that she believed in him when no one else did. She embraced Islam when people disbelieved in him. And she helped and comforted him in her person and wealth when there was none else to lend him a helping hand. This has been discussed in a Hadith found in Musnad Ahmad, 6/118.
There are countless examples in the world of how a person inspired their friend to take the wrong path in life which caused them serious trouble, such as prison. One should not only be cautious of people who possess bad characteristics as they will influence their friends in a negative way which is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sunan Abu Dawud, number 4833. But a Muslim should also be cautious over the people who seem to possess genuine love for them especially those who do not possess real knowledge. This is because the one who does not possess real knowledge will sometimes advise their loved ones incorrectly believing they have fulfilled and shown their love to their companion. For example, a wife may advise her tired husband to offer his obligatory prayer at home instead of at the Mosque with congregation. Even though according to some scholars it is permissible to offer one’s obligatory prayer at home yet, this advice will only take one away from one of the greatest traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. This in turn will only take them further away from Allah, the Exalted. This wife may believe she has behaved in a loving way even though she has not. This is why gaining useful knowledge is extremely important and a duty on all Muslims according to a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 224. This is because some things may seem difficult outwardly yet many blessings are contained within them. And many things may seem easy and even lawful yet they only take one away from Allah, the Exalted. Therefore, a Muslim should be cautious and remain firm on the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience and not get fooled by the advice a loved one gives. They should not assume the advice will benefit them just because it comes from a beloved companion.
