Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, "(Prophet) Dawud (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) ate only out of that which he earned through his manual work.'' [Al-Bukhari]

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, "No food is better to man than that which he earns through his manual work. Dawud (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), the Prophet of Allah, ate only out of his earnings from his manual work.'' [Al-Bukhari]

Commentary: Labour and manual work make the living of a man good, laudable and excellent. The Prophets also earned their living with their own work. Upon such earnings we get the Blessing of Allah. Some people wrongly think that earning a living is at variance with trust in Allah. Rather the right form of trust requires us to adopt ways and means according to our capacity and then to leave the matter to Allah. Also the Prophetic argument tells us that any manual skill or occupation, and the one who depends on it for his living should not be considered inferior. Instead, such people deserve respectable and worthy place in society because they emulate the example of the Prophets. In our society, a highbrow attitude towards them is unfortunate and deserves our deprecation. We have chosen to put some trades in a very low estimate and so is our view of those who are attached with them. In fact, no trade is inferior, nor is the person who adopts it.

LOCKED OUT

Being the office supervisor, I had to have a word with a new employee who never arrived at work on time. I explained that her tardiness was unacceptable and that other employees had noticed that she was walking in late every day. After listening to my complaints, she agreed that this was a problem and even offered a solution.

"Is there another door I could use?"
