Today's Beautiful Hadith is about Provoking Shaytan


Mutarrif (RA) reported that his father said, "I went in the delegation of the Banu 'Amir (RA) to the Prophet (peace be upon him). They said, 'You are our master.' He said, 'The Master is Allah.' They said, 'The best of us in excellence and the greatest of us in generosity.' He said, 'Say what you like, but do not let Shaytan provoke you.'"

(Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, Book 9, Hadith 56)

Honouring or respecting someone does not mean elevating their status, since Allah swt is the Most High, Most Merciful. He alone deserves our praise and when we elevate another to His state, it is Shaytan.

But Kanoute, one of the finalists for the 2007 BBC African Footballer of the Year award, stepped in to purchase the building. Most of Seville's Muslims who will benefit from Kanoute's gesture are immigrants from north and west Africa. The Islamic Community of Spain confirmed that a last-minute appeal was made to Kanoute after the mosque had been put up for sale. "The worshippers at Ponce De Leon are quite diverse but if it had not been for Kanoute then we would not have had a mosque on Fridays, which is the most holy day of the week for Muslims," a spokesman for the Islamic Community of Spain told the local paper Diario de S...
