SIDE STORY
As we mentioned in Surah Al-Mujadilah (58:11), the Prophet (PBUH) saw great potential in Ibn Abbas, so he prayed to Allah to bless him with knowledge and wisdom. When the Prophet passed away, Ibn Abbas was still a young man. **Omar ibn Al-Khattab** honored Ibn Abbas and always asked him for advice. One time, Omar asked some senior companions about this Surah, and they said that it came to teach the Prophet to praise Allah when victory is achieved. Omar asked Ibn Abbas, who then said that this Surah came to tell the Prophet that his mission was now complete and he should get ready to leave this world. Omar said that this was the correct answer. {Recorded by **Imam Al-Bukhari**}
According to an old story, a sultan and his assistant visited a poor neighborhood, where no one recognized them because they were undercover. They came across a boy named Ziyad who was coming back from work. The sultan asked why he had to work, and Ziyad said that he was supporting his mother. The sultan wanted to reward Ziyad, so he revealed his true identity and asked, 'Have you seen anything better than my diamond ring?' Ziyad replied, 'Yes, your finger is more precious.' The amazed sultan then asked, 'Which is better: your house or my palace?' Ziyad answered, 'When you are in your palace, it's better than our house. But if you visit our house, it will be better because you will be in it.' The sultan was more amazed. He offered Ziyad one gold dinar as an award, but Ziyad refused to take it. When the sultan asked why, Ziyad said, 'Because my mother will never believe me when I tell her that I got this dinar from the sultan.' The sultan asked why, and Ziyad said that she will say, 'No way, the sultan is not cheap to give you only one dinar!' The sultan smiled and gave him a bag of 100 dinars, and told his assistant, 'Let's get out of here. If I talk to this kid for another 5 minutes, he will take away my whole kingdom.'
WORDS OF WISDOM
We can learn many good things from kids.
1.For example, they are born innocent, so they don't know how to lie or to be racist. Later, some of them pick up these bad qualities by copying adults around them.
2.They are logical and they learn by observing. This is why it's easy for them to learn languages because they listen, then speak, then read and write. When adults learn a new language, they usually do it the other way round, making it difficult for them to master the language.
3.If kids want something (let's say, candy, toys, or time on their electronics), they will ask their parents a hundred times. When adults pray, many of them ask Allah only once then they give up. Allah loves it when we keep asking Him for something.
Imam As-Suyuti said that if adults learn the following from kids, they will have a better relationship with Allah:.
1.They don't worry because they know that they are in the care of their guardian..
2.They never blame Allah for bad things.
3.They like to get together, especially when they eat...
4.Even if they fight together, they make peace quickly.
