There are three beloved servants of Allah who hold a special status due to their exceptional devotion and righteousness.
From Abu Al-Darda رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. Rasulullah (ﷺ ) said, “ There are three kinds of people who are beloved of Allah:
1. The Mujahid [one who fights in the way of Allah] whose army has deserted but he stands by and fights for the sake of Allah to the extent that either he is killed or Allah helps him. Allah (SWT) addressing His angels says. “ Look to my slave. How wonderfully he is steadfast in the battlefield and is fighting only for me”.
2. The one who is sleeping with his beautiful wife on a comfortable bed but when the time of Tahajjud comes he gets up and stands before Allah. Allah [addressing angels] says, “ Look! he has left his sweet sleep and remembers Me. He could have kept sleeping, if so desired”.
3. The person, who is traveling with a caravan, sleeps for sometime, gets up in the last hours of the night and stands for Tahajjud. He offers this prayer whether he is in distress or feeling comfortable."
These three beloved servants of Allah hold a special place in Islamic belief and serve as inspiring role models for Muslims to emulate in their lives. Their stories and teachings exemplify the importance of faith, perseverance, and submission to the will of Allah, and they continue to be revered and remembered by Muslims worldwide as exemplars of devotion and righteousness.
