The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) asked him: What are you thinking? He said: I was doing the Dhikr of Allah Ta'ala.<span> </span>The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) smiled at this and said: Repent before Allah Ta'ala for that evil scheme, which you had.<span> </span>Then the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) kept His hand on his chest and there came a revolution in His being.<span> </span>Enmity was replaced with love.<span> </span>He says: By Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala)! The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) had not even removed His hand from chest, that my heart became such that out of the whole universe, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) became most beloved to me.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>What about that wealth, O Abbas?</b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">It is given in Sunan Kubra that on the occasion of the Battle of Badr, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) asked His uncle Hadhrat Abbas (May Allah be well pleased with him) to pay his ransom.<span> </span>He said: I don’t have any money to do so.<span> </span>Then the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Where is that wealth, which you and aunt Ummul Fadhl had buried and you had told him, if I die in this journey, then this will be for my sons Abdullah and Qutham?</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">When Hadhrat Abbas (May Allah be well pleased with him) heard this, he said: O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), I know and believe that You are the true Prophet of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala).<span> </span>By Allah Ta'ala!
