salaam 'alaykum,
 
There not being enough "food at the mosque" or "enough seats on the bus" was NOT ACCIDENT.
 
The HOST did this on purpose to test you to see if you are a selfish person or a selfless person.
 
Will you follow the Sunnah of your Prophet and 12 Imams who all did mut'ah or will you be proud
 
and ignore the callings of your intelligence and live the life of a Kufi Laa Yufi?

salaam 'alaykum,

 
A bunch of women were on their journey to a permanent vacation. Some very responsible women
 
worked extra hard to prepare for their vacation by doing the best of deeds so that they would have
 
a great time on their vacation but the only problem is that they arrived a little too late to catch the bus!
 
 
The bus depot said, "Bad news ladies, there are not enough seats on the bus!"
 
(meaning there are not enough muslim men to have 1 all to yourself)
 
Most women arrived early, most way lower than you in rank and much less beautiful.
 
You have two choices.
 
either you share a seat with another woman and if you do so you will be compensated so much.
 
whatever you paid for of your ticket we will give you 3500% bonus and we will protect half your luggage
 
for free and the vacation host will be so pleased with you.
 
if you don't want to share you will have to ride the bus by sitting on the roof!  If you do so you will not get a 3500% bonus,
half your luggage will probably be lost and the vacation host will not be happy with you.
 
only a few of you will get a seat all to yourself.
 
we know that some of you if not most will try to streal a seat from those not willing to share a seat on the bus when they go
 
to the bathroom you will temporarily enjoy their seat and some of you will try to permanantly take the seat and force the other
 
woman to go on the roof!
 
If you do this don't be surprised if the vacation host punishes you when you get to the other side!
 
We have great news for you.
 
Some of the women on the bus are willing to share a seat with you!  These women are so lovely and good hearted and their seats
 
are big enough to accomodate you comfortablely. 
 
I repeat you WILL be compensated for your sacrifice!
 
Ladies this is a very short bus ride.  It is not for ever.  The masters of the vacation resort themselves shared the bus ride when they
 
came to the resort, Zaynab, Umm Salama, and in fact the wives of most of the 12 Masters of the resort.
 
Please don't be angry and don't fight.  We promise you that the bus ride will be short and you will have a good time and be rewarded for you
 
sacrifice.
 
We warn you that if you decide to sit on the roof you may suffer becuase it rains and the sun is hot.
 
If you share you will get rewarded.
 
If you steal a seat you will get punished.
 
If you just want to wait and you feel that you will get a seat somehow good luck.  your chances of success are very slim.
 
Bus Depot Mail man

 

SPECIAL NOTE:

the same example can be used but with Tabarruk/Niyaaz at the mosque.

ie

there is not enough food to feed all the guests.  some are greedy and come early so they can eat and "don't care"

if by eating their full others will not get food, they are selfish.

some refuse to share a plate because they are too proud and selfish too.  they regret not coming early but it is too late.

if they had a plate to themself they know they would never share.  most will not get a thing except some crumbs that fall off the table cloth!

some will try to steal a plate when one of the sisters go to the bathroom!

some are willing to share their plate with good women.

some don't mind sharing a plate even with a greedy woman.

most of them don't have the confidence in the HOST that the Host will compensate them for their sacrifice of sharing.

they say, hey i am going to fight for a plate all for myself and if the other sisters starve to death it is not by problem.

some unique sisters are willing to share a plate with someone who is willing to share.

are you willing to share?  which category to you belong to?

لو كان عرضا قريبا وسفرا قاصدا لاتبعوك ولكن بعدت عليهم الشقة وسيحلفون بالله لو استطعنا لخرجنا معكم يهلكون انفسهم والله يعلم انهم لكاذبون

 
Had it been a near adventure and an easy journey they had followed thee, but the distance seemed too far for them. Yet will they swear by Allah (saying): If we had been able we would surely have set out with you. They destroy their souls, and Allah knoweth that they verily are liars.

Had it been possible for a Lecture to cause the mountains to move, or the earth to be torn asunder, or the dead to speak, (this Qur'an would have done so). Nay, but Allah's is the whole command. Do not those who believe know that, had Allah willed, He could have guided all mankind? As for those who disbelieve, disaster ceaseth not to strike them because of what they do, or it dwelleth near their home until the threat of Allah come to pass. Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst.
