66. THE ARRIVAL OF ‘ABDUR RAHMAN IBN ABU ‘AQEEL WITH HIS PEOPLE
On the authority of ‘Abdur Rahman Ibn Abu ‘Aqeel who narrated: “I set out among a delegation to Allah’s Messenger. When we came to him, we made our camel kneel by the door.There was no one more detestable to us than this person whom we were going in to see. We went in and by the time we came out, there was no one more beloved to us than the man we had just met. One of us said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah, why don’t you ask your Lord for a kingdom like that of Sulaiman?’ The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, smiled and said: ‘Perhaps there is with Allah for your companion something better than the kingdom of Sulaiman. Allah does not send a prophet except that He gives him (the gift of) a supplication. Some of them used it to gain the world which they were given. Some of them used it against their own people when they disobeyed them, and they were destroyed. Allah has also given me a supplication but I have reserved it with my Lord as an intercession for my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection’.”
