Islamic Stories - Imam Abu Hanifa and the drunk man

It is well known that AbuHanifa (radi Allahu 'anhu), did tahajjut
every night. He would spend his night reciting the Quran. He had a
neighbor who was an alcoholic, and he used todrink a lot and sing love
poems. This used to bother the imam.
But one day, the imam did not hear this man's revelry, so he went and
asked about him. They said, "Oh, so-and-so. They took him to jail."
So, the very well respected imam went to the jail. He was the most
respected imam and qaadi at the time in that place. When the ruler
found out the imam went to the jail, he asked for the reason andwas
told that the imam was concerned about hisneighbor who had been
arrested. So, the ruler said to release the man, and he was released.
The neighbor then askedAbu Hanifa why he did that, and he
replied,"Because you have a right upon me as a neighbor, and I have
notbeen neglectful of that." That was the reason thatthe neighbor made
tauba to Allah subh�na wa ta'�la [that is: embraced islam].

What is hijrah? - - How can we make hijrahfor the sake of Allaah nowadays? Praise be to Allaah. Hijrah (migration) for the sake of Allaah meansmoving from the land of shirk to the land of Islam, as the Muslims moved from Makkah – before its people became Muslim – to Madeenah, because it had become the city of Islam after its people had pledged their allegiance (bay’ah) to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and asked him to make hijrah to them. So Hijrah means migratinmg to join otherMuslims. Hijrah may also take the form of moving from one land of shirk toanother land of shirk where evil is less prevalent and there is less danger to the Muslims, as when some of the Muslims migrated from Makkah, at the command of the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), to Abyssinia (Ethiopia). And Allaah is the Source of Strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.
