The Brazier and His Dog

A BRAZIER had a little Dog, which was a great favourite with his master, and his constant companion. While he hammered away at his metals the Dog slept; but when, on the other hand, he went to dinner and began to eat, the Dog woke up and wagged his tail, as if he would ask for a share of his meal.

His master one day, pretending to be angry and shaking his stick at him, said, "You wretched little sluggard! what shall I do to you? While I am hammering on the anvil, you sleep on the mat; and when I begin to eat after my toil, you wake up and wag your tail for food. Do you not know that labour is the source of every blessing, and that none but those who work are entitled to eat?'

MORAL: All Creatures do naturally look to the main Chance. Whatever you do, do with all your might.

Abdullah Bin Awfa RA narrated: “We were in the company of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) on a journey and he was fasting, and when the sun set, he addressed somebody, “O so-and-so, get up and mix Sawiq (a coarse mixture of ground wheat and barley) with water for us.” He replied, “O Allah’s Apostle! (Will you wait) till it is evening?” The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, “Get down and mix Sawiq with water for us.” He replied, “O Allah’s Apostle! (If you wait) till it is evening.” The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said again, “Get down and mix Sawiq with water for us.”

He replied, “It is still daytime.” The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said again, “Get down and mix Sawiq with water for us.” He got down and mixed Sawiq for them.

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) drank it and then said, “When you see night falling from this side, the fasting person should break his fast.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

THE MOST ANNOYING ENGLISH PHRASES

• "Thanks in advance": This demeaning management phrase, often accompanying some unwanted assignment, is the polite corporate way of saying, "You'd better do this terrible thing, or I'll eat your pay-cheque."
  Instead: Cut to the chase with, "I know you don't want to do this... in advance."
  
  
• "With all due respect": Almost always coupled with an insult or unsolicited advice, this phrase is a smarmier way to say, "Prepare to be disrespected." Examples include: "With all due respect, you're fired."
  Instead: Eliminate the preamble. If you are going to say something that others might find offensive, just say it or keep quiet.
