Hadiths About The Prophet (Saw)’S Love For His Umma

Hadiths about the Prophet (saw)’s love for his umma.

According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “My relatonship with my umma is that of a person who lit a fire, and insects and moths began to fall into it and even though I am there to hold you back, you plunge into it despite my efforts.” (Muslim, al-Fadaʾil, 17)

According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “There is no believer but I, of all the people, who is the closest to him both in this world and in the Hereafter. Recite if you wish, ‘the Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves,’ (33.6) so if a believer (dies) leaves some property then his relatives will inherit that property; but if he is in debt or he leaves poor children, let those (creditors and children) come to me (that I may pay the debt and provide for the children), for them (surely) I am their sponsor.” (al-Bukhari, al-Tafsir, (al-Ahzab) 1)

According to the father of ʿAbd Allah b. Abi Qatada (ra), the Prophet (saw) said, “When I stand for prayer, I intend to prolong it but on hearing the cries of a child, I cut it short, as I dislike to trouble the child’s mother.” (al-Bukhari, al-Adhan, 65)

According to Anas b. Malik (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “There is for every messenger a prayer which is granted. I have, however, reserved my prayer for the intercession of my umma on the Day of Resurrection.” (Muslim, al-Iman, 341)
