Sahih Muslim 151c (Book 43, Hadith 200) #13225
Faith in Allah's Power

SUMMARY: Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had faith in Allah's power to bring the dead back to life, and Lot (peace be upon him) wished for a strong support.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: We have more claim to doubt than Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he said, My Lord, show me how thou wilt quicken the dead. He said: Believeth thou not? He said: Yes, but that my heart rest at ease (the Holy Qur'an. 260). May Lord have mercy on Lot that he wanted a strong support and had I stayed in the prison as long as Yusuf stayed I would have responded to him who invited me.
وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِالشَّكِّ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِذْ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى ‏.‏ قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي ‏.‏ وَيَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ لُوطًا لَقَدْ كَانَ يَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ وَلَوْ لَبِثْتُ فِي السِّجْنِ طُولَ لَبْثِ يُوسُفَ لأَجَبْتُ الدَّاعِيَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of two great prophets of Islam - Ibrahim and Lot. It tells us that Ibrahim had faith in Allah's power to bring the dead back to life. He asked for proof from Allah but still believed without seeing it. Similarly, Lot wished for a strong support when he was being tested by his people. The lesson here is that we should have faith in Allah and trust Him even if we don't understand why something is happening or why something has been asked of us. We should also ask for help from Him when we are facing difficult times or tests as He will always provide us with strength and support if we turn to Him with sincerity.
