The Story of how the Mother of Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه Became Muslim
📍What follows is a tremendous example of striving patiently and persistently for the guidance of others, particularly family members, trusting in Allah, making du'a.
📌Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه stated: "I used to invite my mother to Islam whilst she was a polytheist. One day I was inviting her (giving her da'wah to accept Islam) and she said something to me (in response) regarding the Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم that I hated. So I came to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم weeping (from sadness) and I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Indeed I used to invite my mother to Islam (regularly) and she would refuse, and I invited her (gave her da'wah) today and she said something regarding you that I hated, so make du'a to Allah that He guides the mother of Abu Huraira".
📌So the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم said, "O Allah, guide the mother of Abu Huraira".
So I exited happy due to the du'a of the Prophet of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم (like the one given a glad-tidings). So when I arrived and approached the door, it was actually locked, and my mother heard my footsteps and said, "Remain in your place O Abu Huraira!", and I heard the sound of water trickling. She made Ghusl and wore her garment and quickly covered her head then opened the door, then she said, "O Abu Huraira! I bear testification that there is no deity worthy of worship in truth except Allah and I bear witness that Mohammad is his servant and Messenger".
📌So I returned to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم and (this time) I was shedding tears from joy and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, glad tidings to you, Allah has answered your du'a and guided the mother of Abu Huraira!" So he صلى الله عليه و سلم praised Allah, and mentioned goodness....."
