A Container Of Water

Archived under Heart-Melters .

It is reported on the authority of Salaan ibe Abee Mutee' who said: A container of water was bought to al-Hasan to break his fast with, but when he bought it close to his mouth he began to weep and said:

"I remembered the wish of the inhabitants of the Fire in their saying:

Pour on us some water… (Soorah al-A’raaf (7):50)

And then I remembered the reply to them.

Surely Allaah has forbidden both (water and provision) to the disbelievers. (Soorah al-A’raaf (7):50).”
