Companions of the Prophet around the Messenger - Mahmoud Al-Masri

Perhaps our righteous religion has been distinguished from the religions that preceded it by a miracle that renews itself at all times... this is the miracle of men who lived their lives for Islam and knew no taste for comfort, nor did idleness find its way into their souls, so they were an ardent movement that did not calm down, nor slacken, nor tire, nor grow weary. They cared not for wealth or possessions in life, nor were they distracted from their goals by the adornments of the world.
