Advice of the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu ʿAlayhi waalihi

205. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Abu Ubeyda, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم stood upon Al-Safa and said: ‘O Clan of Hashim عليه السلام! O Clan of Abdul Muttalib عليه السلام! I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم am the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم to you all, and I عليه الصلاة والسلام am compassionate towards you, and for me صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم are my صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم deeds, and for every man among you are his deeds. Do not say that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is from us and so we shall be entering where he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would be entering (The Paradise). So, no, by Allah عز وجل! There are no friends for me صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم from among you, nor from the others. O Clan of Abdul Muttalib عليه السلام! Except for the pious ones, otherwise I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم will not recognise you on the Day of Judgement. You will be coming carrying the ‘world’ (burden of the world) upon your backs and the people would be coming carrying the Hereafter. So I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم warn you with regards to what is between me صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and you all, and with regards to what is between myself صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic with regards to you all’.
