أهل الصفة

كيف اهتم النبي ﷺ بمن لا يجدون بيتًا أو مالًا؟

كان أهل الصفة فقراء من الصحابة يقيمون قرب مسجد النبي ﷺ، وكان المسلمون يشاركونهم ما يستطيعون. يروي أبو هريرة رضي الله عنه بعض أخبارهم في صحيح البخاري.

القيمة ليست في المال أو المكانة. المجتمع الرحيم يرى من يحتاج، ويشاركه الطعام والعلم والاحترام.

نحترم الضعيف ونساعده من غير منّة.

كان أهل الصفة من فقراء الصحابة قرب المسجد.

كيف تقدم مساعدة لا تحرج صاحبها؟

شارك شيئًا نافعًا مع شخص يحتاجه من دون أن تتفاخر.

سؤال للتفكير

مين في فصلك أو حيّك محتاج حدّ يقف جنبه؟ تقدر تعمل إيه؟

The People of the Bench: The Poorest and the Closest

At the back of the Prophet's mosque was a shaded place called the Bench, where poor migrants with no home and no money stayed — Abu Hurayrah among them. They were not neglected: they were students, and whenever food was given to the Prophet ﷺ he sent some of it to them.

A person is worth what they know and how they behave, not what is in their pocket.

At the back of the Prophet's mosque was a shaded area known as the Suffah — the Bench — which the Prophet ﷺ made a shelter for anyone who came to Madinah with no family, no house and no money. Abu Hurayrah stayed there, and other poor men with him. They were not at the edge of that society; they were at its centre: the people of the mosque, students of knowledge, and the best memorisers of the Prophet's words — which is how Abu Hurayrah came to narrate more hadith than any other companion. When food was brought to the Prophet ﷺ he would ask: is it a gift or charity? If it was charity he sent it to them and did not eat; if it was a gift he sent them some and ate with them. And he set a rule for the community: the weak are not a burden it carries, but the reason it is provided for and helped at all.

Allah says: ﴿وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ﴾ — “Keep yourself patiently with those who call upon their Lord morning and evening.”
