Sahih al-Bukhari 4524, 4525 (Book 65, Hadith 49) #4310
Allah's Help is Near

SUMMARY: This hadith explains how Allah's help is always near and that the prophets were never promised anything but they knew it would happen before they died.

Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika: Ibn 'Abbas recited: "(Respite will be granted) until when the Apostles gave up hope (of their people) and thought that they were denied (by their people). There came to them Our Help .(Quran 12:110) reading kudhiboo without doubling the sound 'dh', and that was what he understood of the Verse. Then he went on reciting: ".even the Apostle and those who believed along with him said: When (will come) Allah's Help? Yes, verily, Allah's Help is near". (
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ ‏{‏حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا‏}‏ خَفِيفَةً، ذَهَبَ بِهَا هُنَاكَ، وَتَلاَ ‏{‏حَتَّى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ مَتَى نَصْرُ اللَّهِ أَلاَ إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ‏}‏ فَلَقِيتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ، وَاللَّهِ مَا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ مِنْ شَىْءٍ قَطُّ إِلاَّ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ كَائِنٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَزَلِ الْبَلاَءُ بِالرُّسُلِ حَتَّى خَافُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْ مَعَهُمْ يُكَذِّبُونَهُمْ، فَكَانَتْ تَقْرَؤُهَا ‏{‏وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِّبُوا‏}‏ مُثَقَّلَةً‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Have patience & trust in God's promises

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the promise of Allah’s help to His prophets. It was narrated by Ibn Abu Mulaika who heard it from Ibn ‘Abbas who recited a verse from the Quran which states that when the apostles gave up hope and thought they were denied by their people, Allah’s help came to them. He then went on to recite another verse which states that even when the apostles and those who believed with them asked for help, it was already near. The narrator then met ‘Urwa bin Az-Zubair and mentioned this to him. He said that Aisha said that although trials were presented before the apostles until they feared their followers would accuse them of lying, Allah never promised His apostle anything but he knew it would happen before he died. The lesson here is clear; no matter how difficult our situation may seem or how much we may doubt ourselves or our faith in God’s promises, we should always remember that His help is near and will come at just the right time if we remain patient and steadfast in our faith.
