catitan buat komrads yang kecewa

[2:156] (yaitu) orang-orang yang apabila ditimpa musibah, mereka mengucapkan: "Inna lillaahi wa innaa ilaihi raaji'uun"

T. J. Irving punya tafseer kata:

who say, whenever some misfortune strikes them: "We belong to God, and are returning to Him!"

kebetulan, dalam diskusi minggu lepas, aku kena bincangkan ayat ini; jadi bila dirujuk tafsir ibnu kathir dan tafsir fizilal, mereka ajak kita amati satu hadith;

Imam Ahmad reported that Umm Salamah narrated: Once, Abu Salamah came back after he was with Allah's Messenger and said: I heard Allah's Messenger recite a statement that made me delighted. He said:

(No Muslim is struck with an affliction and then says Istirja` when the affliction strikes, and then says: `O Allah! Reward me for my loss and give me what is better than it,' but Allah will do just that.) Umm Salamah said: So I memorized these words. When Abu Salamah died I said Istirja` and said: "O Allah! Compensate me for my loss and give me what is better than it.'' I then thought about it and said, "Who is better than Abu Salamah'' When my `Iddah (the period of time before the widow or divorced woman can remarry) finished, Allah's Messenger asked for permission to see me while I was dyeing a skin that I had. I washed my hands, gave him permission to enter and handed him a pillow, and he sat on it. He then asked me for marriage.

Allahu Akbar!

semoga Allah memberi yang lebih baik untuk kita.
