[58] Surah Al-Mujadilah [The Woman Who Pleads]: Ayat 012

১২. মুমিনগণ, তোমরা রসূলের কাছে কানকথা বলতে চাইলে তৎপূর্বে সদকা প্রদান করবে।  এটা তোমাদের জন্যে শ্রেয়ঃ ও পবিত্র হওয়ার ভাল উপায়। যদি তাতে সক্ষম না হও, তবে আল্লাহ ক্ষমাশীল, পরম দয়ালু।

Ayat 12. O you who believe! When you (want to) consult the Messenger (Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) in private, spend something in charity before your private consultation. That will be better and purer for you. But if you find not (the means for it), then verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Tafseer of Surah Al- Mujadilah Ayat 12. O ye who believe! When ye consult the Messenger in private, spend something in charity before your private consultation. That will be best for you, and most conducive to purity (of conduct). But if ye find not (the wherewithal), Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful. In the Kingdom of Allah all instruction or consultation is open and free. But human nature is weak. And people want special instruction or private consultation with the Teacher from one of several motives: (1) they may have, or think they have, a special case, which they are not willing to disclose to their brethren in general; (2) they may have some sense of delicacy or dignity, which can only be satisfied by a private interview; (3) they may even be selfish enough to want to monopolize the Teacher's time. These motives are, in an ascending order, worth discouraging; and yet, considering the weakness of human nature, they cannot be reprobated to the extent of shutting out their victims from chances of improvement. It is therefore recommended that they spend something in charity for the good of their poorer brethren before they indulge in such weaknesses. The charity is a sort of expiation for their pardonable weakness. Having made some monetary sacrifice for their poorer brethren they could face them with less shame, and the charity would direct their attention to the need for purifying their motives and conduct At the same time, this special charity is not made obligatory, lest such persons should be shut out altogether from chances of the higher teaching on account of their pardonable foibles. 

Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The supplication most often recited by The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) was: "Allahumma atina fid-dunya hasanatan, wa fil-akhirati hasanatan, wa qina `adhab-annar (O our Rubb! give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the punishment of the Fire).'' [Al-Bukhari Book 35, Chapter 09, Hadith # 6507].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Mujadilah Ayat 12. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" It is desirable to recite this Dua which is mentioned in the Qur'an (2:201) and which comprehends all that is good both in this life and the Hereafter. The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) made it a habit to recite this Dua, and the Companions were eager to follow him in all his words and actions.
