Noble Characteristics

His widow related one of his great attributes. She got married after his martyrdom and her husband enquired, “Tell me something about Hazrat Abdullah (ra) bin Rawahah’s pure character.” The lady gave a most beautiful testament in this regard. She replied:

“Hazrat Abdullah (ra) bin Rawaha would never leave the house without offering two rak’at [units] of supererogatory prayers. Similarly, the very first thing he would do after entering the house was, after performing ablution he would offer two rak’at of supererogatory prayers.”

(Al-Asabah fi Tamiz Al-Sahaba, vol. 4, p. 74, Abdullah (ra) bin Rawaha, Darul Kutub al-‘Ilmiyah)

These were the people who would remember Allah the Almighty in every condition and at every moment.
