A man once came to Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and said, \u201cO Abud Dardaa, your house has burned down!\u201d Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) replied, \u201cMy house has NOT burned down.\u201d Then another person came and exclaimed, \u201cO Abud Dardaa, your house has burned down.\u201d Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) again replied, “My house has NOT burned down.\u201d<\/p>\n
After some time, a third person came and explained, \u201cO Abud Dardaa, I followed the fire. When it reached your house, it went off.\u201d In response, Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) mentioned, \u201cI knew that Allah Ta\u2018ala, the All-Mighty and Majestic, would not let it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
A man who was present commented saying, \u201cO Abud Dardaa, we do not know which of your statements is more remarkable; your statement, \u2018My house has not burned down\u2019, or your statement, \u2018I knew that Allah, the All-Mighty and Majestic, would not let it happen!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) replied, \u201cIt is due to certain words (of du\u2018aa) which I heard from Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam). Whoever says them in the morning will not be struck by a calamity until the evening, and whoever says them in the evening will not be struck by a calamity until the morning. (These words are):<\/p>\n

You are my Rabb; there is none worthy of worship except You. I have placed my trust upon You, and You are the Rabb of the Glorious Throne. Whatever Allah Ta\u2018ala wishes will happen, and whatever He does not wish will not happen. There is no ability (to refrain from sin) and no power (to carry out good deeds) except with (the help of) Allah. I know that Allah is capable of everything, and that Allah Ta\u2018ala\u2019s knowledge encompasses everything. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my carnal self and from the evil of every creature which You hold by its forelock (i.e. You control). Indeed, my Rabb is on a straight path.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n (Ad-Du\u2018aa lit Tabraani #343)<\/em><\/p>\n Lessons:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. The words of Allah Ta\u2018ala and His Rasool (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) were so deeply embedded within the hearts of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum), that they had more conviction on them than on what could be sensed and perceived. It was this very conviction that led Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) to completely negate what others had perceived with their very own eyes. If we also endeavour to firmly embed the words of Allah Ta\u2018ala and His Rasool (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) within our hearts, it will enable us to give preference to the words and commands of Allah Ta\u2018ala in every facet of our lives as well.<\/p>\n 2. When a person has complete trust in Allah Ta\u2018ala and His promises, he will remain calm even within a crisis. He will understand that every situation is a test from Allah Ta\u2018ala, and will keep his focus and attention on Allah Ta\u2018ala\u2019s divine wisdom and power. Thus, we find that Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) was not bothered in the least, despite the possibility of his entire house and its contents being burned.<\/p>\n 3. There is great power contained within the du\u2018aas for protection taught to us by our Master, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), such the morning and evening supplications. These supplications serve as a shield against misfortunes, provided they are read with the required level of conviction. Whilst the worldly means are adopted by one and all for the purpose of security, these are not guaranteed to be effective. However, the promises of Allah Ta\u2018ala and His Rasool (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) are guaranteed to be effective. Hence, one should inculcate the habit of reciting these du\u2018aas daily.<\/p>\n
