When the Sun Didn’t Rise…
Prophet (saws) asked Sayyidina Bilal, “you call the Adhan. He doesn’t have to explain to the companions. That this darajah and this maqam (Station) of this sahabi is so high that when he calls, he is calling from what he sees and witnesses in the divinely presence. But he had unfortunate lisp in his Adhan, that when it came to “Ashhadu An la ilaha ilAllah”. He would say “Assadu…” because he had a lisp. And the Arab speaking were upset with that.
So one time, Sayyidina Bilal called the Adhan and said “Assadu an La ilaha ilAllah…” with all the realities and all the blessings. Some of the newer Companions who were not aware of that maqam, came to prophet (saws) and said that “his Arabic is not correct, May be we can have somebody who recites more perfectly to call the Adhan.
This is a big lesson for people who now are so stuck on the external. And this is now somebody even before the salaah; forget about people arguing about the salaah and everything, “Oh you don’t say ‘Allah’ right. You don’t add enough a’s, you don’t add enough sound into it.” Everybody is so fixated on the sound as if Allah ‘Azza wa Jal is listening to your sound and looking to your sura, to your form, where Allah ‘Azza wa Jal doesn’t look to the form and he doesn’t care about what your lips have to say.
إنَّ الله لا ينْظُرُ إِلى أجْسَامِكُمْ ، ولا إِلى صُوَرِكمْ ، وَلَكن ينْظُرُ إلى قُلُوبِكمْ
“Inna Allaha la yanzuru ila ajsamikum, wa la ila Suwarikum, wa laaken yanzuru ila Qulobukum.” Muslim
Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated that Prophet Muhammad (saws) said: “Allah does not look at your figures, nor at your attire but He looks at your hearts .” [Muslim]
Allah looks to the heart of the believer and this is the daleel and the proof of that reality, that someone with such a yaqeen, Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam knowing that he’s saying ‘Assadu’, knowing that he has a lisp, but knowing and wanting to teach the Companions, teach us because we are coming and we are in need of these lessons. It’s not what his lips say that’s important but the yaqeen and the certainty of his holy heart, what he has endured to achieve a love that Allah ‘Azza wa Jal granted a yaqeen in which his zikr is ‘Ahad’ and that was the importance.
Then to the Sahabi and the people who were complaining, Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam being humble and wanted to show them said, “No problem. Next fajr I won’t have him call the adhaan.” Next day, they all gathered for Fajr prayer at the Mosque of Prophet (saws). And they all waited, and waited, and waited. The companions came and said what happened, there is no sign that sunrise is coming. And they waited and they waited and they realized that something has gone wrong. They came to Prophet (saws) and asked “ya RasulAllah, there is no sign of the Sun rising.”
And Jibra’il alayhis salaam came to Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and said, “For the sake of Sayyiduna Bilal, Allah ‘Azza wa Jal is holding the sun from rising.” They understood the mistake that they had made. That the importance of the actions is not by the tongue, but the heart that that soul has. And the connection that that heart has with the divinely presence, was enough that Allah (aj) not to allow even the sun to rise for that prayer. They understood and realized the station of that AbdAllah (servant of Allah), the station of servanthood he had achieved, the station of love that he had for Sayyiduna Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that if he doesn’t call the adhaan Allah ‘Azza wa Jal showed that Divinely Power that, “Don’t rise.”
Means the lesson that is on exactly that factual story that the sun rised or didn’t rise on that day, go back and find all the science of it; but the importance of that lesson that Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is teaching for us that Allah ‘Azza wa Jal found acceptance in that abd’s calling. ‘Cause it wasn’t only the calling of the lisaan (tongue) but it was the calling from the qalb (heart), a qalb that had been tested, a qalb that suffered and endured and proved itself worthy of the love: “Qul inni kuntu tuhibbunallah fattabiooni.”
“fattabi’oni”, what better of the tabi’een (followers) than the ones that suffer and take a life in moving towards the love of Sayyiduna Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam?
“yuhibbakumullah.” That Allah ‘Azza wa Jal, that by following Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah ‘Azza wa Jal says, “I will love you.”
