An Excellent Man
It is mentioned in Kitab al-Zuhd, a book by Hazrat Imam Ahmad (rh) that when Hazrat Abdullah (ra) bin Rawaha used to meet one of his companions, he used to say, “Come, let us sit down and rejuvenate our faith in our Lord.”
It is mentioned in the same book that the Holy Prophet (sa) said, “May Allah have mercy on Abdullah (ra) bin Rawaha. He loves such gatherings, of which even the angels are pleased with.”
Hazrat Abu Huraira (ra) relates that the Holy Prophet (sa) said:
نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدُ اللّٰہِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ
Meaning, “What an excellent man Hazrat Abdullah (ra) bin Rawaha is!”
