Honour the elder

Wednesday, August 6, 2003

لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَرْحَمْ صَغِيرَنَا، وَيَعْرِفْ شَرَفَ كَبِيرِنَا
Transliteration

Laysa minna man lam yarham saghirana, wa ya'rif sharafa kabirina.

Translation

He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young, nor recognise the right of our elder.

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr·Sunan at-Tirmidhi 1919, Sunan Abi Dawud 4943
Reflection

Two directions of respect. Mercy down to the young. Recognition up to the old. The ummah breathes when both are held.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
