Sunan Ibn Majah 1633 (Book 6, Hadith 201) #30985
Staying Focused on the Right Path

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had a single focus and his companions followed him, but after his passing away they started to look in different directions.

It was narrated that Ubayy bin Ka’b said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah and we all had a single focus, but when he passed away we started to look here and there (ie, have different interests)".
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ الْعِجْلِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ وَإِنَّمَا وَجْهُنَا وَاحِدٌ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ نَظَرْنَا هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about staying focused on the right path and not getting distracted by other interests. It was narrated by Ubayy bin Kab that when he was with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) they all had a single focus, but when he passed away they started to look here and there. This means that without the guidance of the Prophet, people can easily get distracted from their goals and start looking in different directions. The lesson here is that it is important to stay focused on our goals and not get sidetracked by other interests or activities. We should strive to stay united in our beliefs and actions so we can achieve success together as a community.
