Virtues of the Third Kalimah
Abi Sallam (radiyallahu 'anhu} relates that once Rasulullah {sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam} said, ''Ah-Ha! How weight in the scales are five things: subhanallahi wal-hamdulillahi wa la ilaha illal-lah walla-hu akbar and excercise of patience by the father (or the mother) over the death of his (or her) child.''
Note: The subject matter of this Hadith is narrated by many sahabah (radiyallahu 'ashum) in so many other Hadiths. The words are said at the time of extreme joy and pleasure. These things are of great joy and pleasure to Rasulallah (sallallahu 'akaihi wasallam) and therefore are stressed so much by him. Is it not thereforesecessary for us who claim to love him that we should show extreme devotion to these words, because doing so also amounts to showing respect, obedience, and thanks to him?
