46. Abu Ali af-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd af-Jabbar from Safwan from abu af-Mighra’ from Safmah ibn Muhriz who has said the following: “I once was with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when a man called abu al-Ward came and said to ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘May Allah be kind to you. I wish you to allow yourself to rest by the comfort of al-Mahmil (the carriage carried on camel backs).’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘O abu al-Ward, I love to be present for the benefits that Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, has spoken of, “...so they can be present for the benefits which are there for them.” (22:28) Whoever is present for such benefits, Allah grants them such benefits. As far as you are concerned, it is a returning home with sins forgiven and what others receive is safety for their persons and properties.’”
