The Story of the Prophet's Companions when Asked by the Angels Munkar and Nakir, Making the Prophet Smile

Dream - Mahabbah or love for Prophet Muhammad SAW is the main capital to achieve happiness in this world and the hereafter. Love for the beloved of Allah SWT is not enough to be just spoken, but it requires real proof.

From the many ways to prove love to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, there are two that Sahabat Dream can do. The first is to increase the recitation of blessings and the second is to increase charity.

Story about Mahabbah

A story about love can be seen from the story of Abu Lahab. He is the uncle of Prophet Muhammad SAW who is known for strongly rejecting the teachings of Islam. In fact, Abu Lahab obstructed the preaching of the Prophet to the extent of wanting to kill him.

"However, Abu Lahab was the happiest person when the Prophet Muhammad was born. Nevertheless, because he did not believe in Allah, he died as a disbeliever. However, a narration mentions that Abu Lahab is freed from the torment of the grave every Monday night only because of his love for the birth of the Prophet Muhammad."

Beloved Friends of Prophet Muhammad SAW

It is also narrated about a beloved companion of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) who was known to be a drunkard and indulged in sinful acts. This companion was named Nu'aiman. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) loved him dearly because he was the one who always made him (SAW) laugh and feel happy when he was sad.

"Story that Makes Prophet Muhammad PBUH Smile"

It is narrated that Sahabat Nu'aiman passed away. Prophet Muhammad SAW himself bathed, shrouded, and buried his body. When the other companions had left the burial site, Prophet Muhammad SAW intentionally stayed behind to hear Nu'aiman's response when asked by the Angels Munkar and Nakir. Shortly after, the Angels Munkar and Nakir approached Nu'aiman and asked, "Who is your Lord?" Nu'aiman firmly answered, "Allah."

However, when asked the second question, "Who is your Prophet?", Nu'aiman remained silent even though the question was repeated several times. Finally, after being asked several times by the Angels Munkar and Nakir, he answered, "Shh...! Don't speak loudly. The person you are asking about is still up there." Hearing Nu'aiman's answer, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) smiled. This story was told in a lecture by Imam Syajaroh, the caretaker of Pondok Pesantren Ibnu Hadi Sleman, Yogyakarta.

The story of Nu'aiman and Abu Lahab above explains how important it is for Muslims to love the Prophet Muhammad SAW. It is not appropriate for us to not love him, because when approaching death, his only concern was his ummah. He loved his ummah so much that when his life was about to end, he worried about our condition, which was moving further away from the teachings of Islam.

"Loving the Prophet solely for the sake of Allah"

Loving the Prophet SAW should only be done to seek the pleasure of Allah SWT alone. We may not be fully capable of implementing all the teachings left by Prophet Muhammad SAW, so it is necessary to increase our love for him. Love for the Prophet is one of the ways to obtain the pleasure of Allah SWT, which will result in forgiveness for all our sins and mistakes.

"Allah SWT berfirman:" translates to "Allah SWT says:" in English.
“Say (Muhammad), ‘If you love Allah, follow me. Then Allah will love you and forgive your sins. And Allah is the Forgiving, the Merciful.’”

"(Quran Surat Ali Imran verse 31)"
