DDHK.ORG - Shaykh Ibn Hajar rahimahullah told that there was a rich man who wanted to perform the pilgrimage to the Baitullah and he had a lot of wealth. The treasure was entrusted to a person who he thought was a pious and trustworthy person. So he handed over the property to that person.
When he returned from Mecca Al Mukaromah after performing all the fard fardhu hajj, he looked for the person where he was. It turned out that the person had died. He was confused. When asked about his family and heirs, it turned out that no one knew about the treasure.
Finally, the rich man went to the scholars who were in Mecca al-Mukarromah. They said, "You go to the well of Zamzam and shout there, calling the name of the person you have entrusted to him."
He also came in the middle of the night and called the name of the person who was entrusted to him. "Yes so and so..!!!" But there is no answer. Called many times, still no answer.
It was reported to the scholars who were in Mecca, so they said, "Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rojiun. Maybe he is a bad person. Try to go to Yemen and go to a well called Barhud. It is the edge of the valley of Hell."
So when he got there he called the person's name. "O so and so where is my gold? Where is my treasure? So the so-and-so replied, "I still keep your wealth, I hide it, I plant it at someone's house in my village. I don't trust my heirs, my children. You come and dig there (shown where). You will find your treasures there."
The rich man was confused as to why he was in the place of bad people. So he asked, “What brought you here? Even though I thought that you were among the pious."
So the man replied, "I have a poor sister and I don't greet her. I don't want to have anything to do with him, and I don't even try to approach him, there's no friendship. So that is why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has punished me and tortured me in this place."
Jubair bin Muth'im Radhiyallahu 'Anhu narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "No one will enter heaven who breaks the ties of friendship."
in the book Tasbiitul fuad It is said, "Relate the ties of kinship, even if they are severed."
So, the best Muslim is he who tries to connect the ties of kinship, even though the person being visited is hostile and breaks the ties of friendship.
Imam Qurthuby said that the ties of kinship are twofold. Namely, general bonds and special bonds.
The first bond includes religious ties to Muslim brothers. We are obliged to connect them and fulfill all their rights and obligations.
The second bond is a special bond in family kinship. So let us try to connect and maintain the bonds of friendship.
Hopefully we are among the people who connect the ropes of friendship.
The Prophet said, "Whoever connects the cord of friendship means that he connects himself with Allah." (HR. Muslim).
