Early in the morning, Abu-d Dardaa RA awoke and went straight to his idol which he kept in the best part of his house. He greeted it and bowed to it. Then he anointed it with the best perfume from his large shop and put on it a new raiment of beautiful silk which a merchant had brought to him the day before from Yemen.

When the sun was high in the sky he left his house for his shop. On that day the streets and alleys of Yathrib were crowded with the followers of Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam returning from Badr. With them were several prisoners of war. Abu-d Dardaa surveyed the crowds and then went up to a Khazraji youth and asked about the fate of Abdullah ibn Rawahah.

"He was put through the most severe tests in the battle," "but he emerged safely..."

Abu-d Dardaa was clearly anxious about his close friend, Abdullah ibn Rawahah. Everyone in Yathrib knew the bond of brotherhood which existed between the two men from the days of Jahiliyyah, before the coming of Islam to Yathrib. When Islam came to the city, Ibn Rawahah embraced it but Abu-d Dardaa rejected it. This however did not rupture the relationship between the two. Abdullah kept on visiting Abu-d Dardaa and tried to make him! See the virtues, the benefits and the excellence of Islam. But with every passing day, while Abu-d Dardaa remained a Mushrik, Abdullah felt more sad and concerned. read more

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart to this 'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the after-life with me.'

Well, he died ...just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, 'Wait, just a minute!' She had a box with her and put it in the casket. Her friend said, 'I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there in the casket with your husband.'

The loyal wife replied 'Listen, I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him. I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it.'

Moral of the story: *Women are "WAY SMARTER" than Men.

And it takes a Smart man to admit it!!!
