Extinguishing Fires
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam
Abu al-Hasan ‘Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-‘Abidin (q.s.) used to perform one thousand raka’at of nafl swalah
every night. One night, whilst he was
performing his nawafil, his house
caught on fire. The people rushed around
trying to put of the fire but he continued his swalah oblivious to the fire.
After he had completed his swalah,
the people told him that his house had caught on fire. He replied, “You were trying to extinguish
this fire, and I was trying to extinguish the fire of the Hereafter.”
