“..and you are the butter.”
“O you who were fed the milk of piety and changed by the will of Allaah, all things are like a tree while you are the fruit; a picture and you are the meaning; a shell and you are the pearl, and buttermilk and you are the butter.”
- Taken from al-Fawaa’idh.

Traveller, I dont think its specifically talking about the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam. I think it includes all those who strive for the sake of Allaah, for his deen and those who do righteous deeds.. wAllaahu a`lam.
Al-Furqaan, the trials have been delayed.. so please make du`aa for all of them; the ones here and those in the UK. They’re very much in need of it.
Jazaakumullaah khayr.
