The Miser and the Fortunate One Abû Hurayrah radiallâhu ’anhu relate that the Messenger of Allâh sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam said: “That person is a miser who, when I am mentioned to him, does not send salâh upon me.” 1 Anas bin Mâlik radiallâhu ’anhu said that the Messenger of Allâh sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam said: “Whosoever sends salâh upon me once, Allâh will send salâh upon him ten times; ommit from him ten evils and raise him up ten degrees.” [2] Warning against Narrating without Verification Abû Qatâdah radiallâhu ’anhu relates that the Messenger of Allâh sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam said: “Beware of reporting too much from me. He who reports from me, then let him not say except that which is true. So he who attributes to me that which I did not say, then let him take his place in the HellFire.” [3] Learning with Correct Intention Abû Hurayrah radiallâhu ’anhu relates that the Messenger of Allâh sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam said: “Whosoever learns knowledge, by which is to be sought the Face of AIlâh, but he does not do so except to acquire the goal of this world; he will not smell the odour of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection.” [4] Understanding the Dîn Abû Hurayrah related that the Messenger of Allâh sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam said: “Whosoever Allâh intends to show excellence to, He gives him the understanding of the Dîn. Indeed I am the distributor, but the giver is Allâh - the Mighty and Majestic.” [5] Abû Hurayrah related that the Prophet sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam said: “The are two qualities that can never co-exist in a hypocrite: Good manners and the understanding of the Dîn.” [6] Good Character Jâbir radiallâhu ’anhu related that the Prophet sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam said: “Indeed abuse most beloved to me and seated nearest to me on the Day of Resurrection are those with the best manners and character. And indeed the most hateful to me and sitting furthest away from me on the day of Resurrection are the tharthârûn (those who speak too much), the mutasbaddiqûn (those who are overbearing in their speech) and the mutafaybiqûn.” We said: “We know who the tharthârûn and mutasbaddiqûn are. But who are the mutafaybiqûn? He said: “The arrogant ones.” [7] |
Sins of the Tongue ’Uqbah ibn ’Âmir said: I met the Messenger of Allâh sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam and asked: In what is salvation? He said: “Control your tongue, keep to your house and weep over your sins.” [8] ’Abdullâh ibn ’Umar radiallâhu ’anhumâ relates that he heard the Messenger of Allâh sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam say: “Most of the sins of the children of Âdam are from his tongue.” [9] Concern for the Hereafter “He whose concern is the Hereafter then Allâh brings together his affairs, makes his prosperity in his heart and the world comes to him even with aversion. And be whose intention is this world, Allâh splits-up his goods, puts poverty before his eyes and nothing of the world comes to him, except what is written for him.” [10] References
