Bk. 49: Peacemaking
3.855:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: There was a dispute amongst the people
of the tribe of Bani `Amr bin `Auf. The Prophet went to them
along with some of his companions in order to make peace
between them. The time for the prayer became due but the
Prophet did not turn up; Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e.
call) for the prayer but the Prophet did not turn up, so Bilal
went to Abu Bakr and said, "The time for the prayer is due and
the Prophet i detained, would you lead the people in the
prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes, you wish." So, Bilal
pronounced the Iqama of the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead (to
lead the prayer), but the Prophet came walking among the rows
till he joined the first row. The people started clapping and
they clapped too much, and Abu Bakr used not to look hither
and thither in the prayer, but he turned round and saw the
Prophet standing behind him. The Prophet beckoned him with his
hand to keep on praying where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hand
and praised Allah and then retreated till he came in the
(first) row, and the Prophet went ahead and lead the people in
the prayer. When the Prophet finished the prayer, he turned
towards the people and said, "O people! When something happens
to you during the prayer, you start clapping. Really clapping
is (permissible) for women only. If something happens to one
of you in his prayer, he should say: 'Subhan Allah',
(Glorified be Allah), for whoever hears him (saying so) will
direct his attention towards him. O Abu Bakr! What prevented
you from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned to
you (to continue)?" Abu Bakr replied, "It did not befit the
son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front of the Prophet.
3.856:
Narrated Anas:
It was said to the Prophet "Would that you see `Abdullah bin
Ubai." So, the Prophet went to him, riding a donkey, and the
Muslims accompanied him, walking on salty barren land. When
the Prophet reached `Abdullah bin Ubai, the latter said, "Keep
away from me! By Allah, the bad smell of your donkey has
harmed me." On that an Ansari man said (to `Abdullah), "By
Allah! The smell of the donkey of Allah's Apostle is better
than your smell." On that a man from `Abdullah's tribe got
angry for `Abdullah's sake, and the two men abused each other
which caused the friends of the two men to get angry, and the
two groups started fighting with sticks, shoes and hands. We
were informed that the following Divine Verse was revealed (in
this concern):−− "And if two groups of Believers fall to
fighting then, make peace between them." (49.9)

Devil's Proposition (Devil 1)

Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in the heart of the forest, there was a young girl named Lily. Lily was known throughout the village for her beauty, her kindness, and her love for adventure. She would often wander off into the woods, exploring the nooks and crannies of the forest that few dared to venture into. One day, as Lily was wandering through the forest, she came across a dark, ominous cave. She had heard rumors of a devil that lived within the cave, but her curiosity got the best of her, and she decided to explore it anyway. As she entered the cave, Lily was immediately struck by a sense of foreboding. The air was thick with the stench of sulfur, and the walls were covered in eerie, glowing runes. Despite her fear, Lily pressed on, determined to see what lay within. As she moved deeper into the cave, the air grew hotter and the darkness more oppressive. Suddenly, Lily heard a voice in her head, a voice that was both soothing and terrifying at the same time. ...

A typical day of a Middle School Teacher

Undoubtedly, a teacher's job was thought to be the most respectful and least time consuming. People thought that teachers were the ones who enjoy life the most. With the passage of time, the idea has changed completely. Specially after the so called corporate policy is given control to over power teaching, lives for the teachers have become unimaginably difficult. Teaching is (or was ) one of the noblest professions by which one can earn and serve the nation. This idea of serve has totally been changed to service provider now which brings disaster for the professionals. This idea has spread among the people so immensely that people i.e. the parents as well as the kids are thinking themselves to be able to take control of the standard of education. Kids now a days (obviously there are some differences) don't want to study at all but expect good results. School authority is also adamant to show tremendous positive improvement in them at least in terms of education to the parents....
