8. Shāmīs
٨۔ مسند الشاميين
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The example of this Ummah (nation) is like that of four individuals. One man who Allah has given wealth and knowledge, so he acts upon his wealth by spending it in the right way. Another man who Allah has given knowledge but not wealth, so he says: 'If I had wealth like this, I would act in the same way as the one who acts.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "They are equal in reward." Another man who Allah has given wealth but not knowledge, so he spends it inappropriately. And another man who Allah has not given wealth or knowledge, so he says: 'If I had wealth like this, I would act in the same way as the one who acts.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "They are equal in sin."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مَثَلُ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَعِلْمًا فَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ فِي مَالِهِ يُنْفِقُهُ فِي حَقِّهِ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ عِلْمًا وَلَمْ يُؤْتِهِ مَالًا فَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ لِي مِثْلُ مَالِ هَذَا عَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَهُمَا فِي الْأَجْرِ سَوَاءٌ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَلَمْ يُؤْتِهِ عِلْمًا فَهُوَ يَخْبِطُ فِيهِ يُنْفِقُهُ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ وَرَجُلٌ لَمْ يُؤْتِهِ اللهُ مَالًا وَلَا عِلْمًا فَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ لِي مَالٌ مِثْلُ هَذَا عَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَهُمَا فِي الْوِزْرِ سَوَاءٌ
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ who said, "The example of my ummah (community) is like that of four individuals. He mentioned the hadith except that he said, 'A man whom Allah has bestowed wealth upon, but has not given him knowledge, so he foolishly spends it, neither showing mercy to his relatives nor giving the rights of others.'"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَثَلُ أُمَّتِي مَثَلُ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَلَمْ يُؤْتِهِ عِلْمًا فَهُوَ يَخْبِطُ فِيهِ لَا يَصِلُ فِيهِ رَحِمًا وَلَا يُعْطِي فِيهِ حَقًّا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave an example of this nation, resembling four individuals, and then mentioned the narration.
ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مَثَلَ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The example of my Ummah (community) is like that of four people." And he mentioned the Hadith.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلُ أُمَّتِي مَثَلُ أَرْبَعَةٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
[Machine] During the Battle of Tabuk, people hurried to the "People of the Rock" to enter and seek refuge with them. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about this, he called out to the people saying, "Prayer will be performed together." So, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was grasping his camel and saying, "Why are you entering upon a people whom Allah is angry with?" A man from among them called out to him in amazement, saying, "O Messenger of Allah! Shouldn't I inform you about something even more amazing?" He replied, "Shouldn't I inform you about something even more amazing than that? A man from among yourselves will inform you about what came before you and what will happen after you. So, remain upright and steadfast, for surely Allah does not care about punishing you. And there will come a people who will not protect themselves from anything."
لَمَّا كَانَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ تَسَارَعَ النَّاسُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْحِجْرِ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُمْسِكٌ بَعِيرَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَا تَدْخُلُونَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ غَضِبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ فَنَادَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ نَعْجَبُ مِنْهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَفَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَعْجَبَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ يُنْبِئُكُمْ بِمَا كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ وَمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ بَعْدَكُمْ فَاسْتَقِيمُوا وَسَدِّدُوا فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَعْبَأُ بِعَذَابِكُمْ شَيْئًا وَسَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ لَا يَدْفَعُونَ عَنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ
[Machine] When there was in the Battle of Tabuk, a group hurriedly went to the people of Al-Hijr, entering upon them, so he mentioned its meaning.
لَمَّا كَانَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ تَسَارَعَ قَوْمٌ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْحِجْرِ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ
"There are three things for which I swear and narrate to you about, so remember it." He said: "The wealth of a slave (of Allah) shall not be decreased by charity, no slave (of Allah) suffers injustice and is patient with it except that Allah adds to his honor; no slave (of Allah) opens up a door to begging except that Allah opens a door for him to poverty"- or a statement similar- "And I shall narrate to you a narration, so remember it." He said: "The world is only for four persons: A slave whom Allah provides with wealth and knowledge, so he has Taqwa of his Lord with it, nurtures the ties of kinship with it, and he knows that Allah has a right in it. So this is the most virtuous rank. And a slave whom Allah provides with knowledge, but He does not provide with wealth. So he has a truthful intent, saying: 'If I had wealth, then I would do the deeds of so-and-so with it.' He has his intention, so their rewards are the same. And a slave whom Allah provides with wealth, but He does not provide him with knowledge. [So he] spends his wealth rashly without knowledge, nor having Taqwa of his Lord, nor nurturing the ties of kinship, and he does not know that Allah has a right in it. So this is the most despicable rank. And a slave whom Allah does not provide with wealth nor knowledge, so he says: 'If I had wealth, then I would do the deeds of so-and-so with it.' He has his intention, so their sin is the same." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2325)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ثَلَاثٌ أُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا فَاحْفَظُوهُ قَالَ فَأَمَّا الثَّلَاثُ الَّتِي أُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَإِنَّهُ مَا نَقَّصَ مَالَ عَبْدٍ صَدَقَةٌ ولاوَلَا ظُلِمَ عَبْدٌ بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فَيَصْبِرُ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا زَادَهُ اللهُ بِهَا عِزًّا وَلَا يَفْتَحُ عَبْدٌ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ إِلَّا فَتَحَ اللهُ لَهُ بَابَ فَقْرٍ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا فَاحْفَظُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا الدُّنْيَا لِأَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ عَبْدٌ رَزَقَهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَعِلْمًا فَهُوَ يَتَّقِي فِيهِ رَبَّهُ وَيَصِلُ فِيهِ رَحِمَهُ وَيَعْلَمُ لِلَّهِ فِيهِ حَقَّهُ قَالَ فَهَذَا بِأَفْضَلِ الْمَنَازِلِ قَالَ وَعَبْدٌ رَزَقَهُ اللهُ عِلْمًا وَلَمْ يَرْزُقْهُ مَالًا؟ قَالَ فَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ لِي مَالٌ عَمِلْتُ بِعَمَلِ فُلَانٍ قَالَ فَأَجْرُهُمَا سَوَاءٌ قَالَ وَعَبْدٌ رَزَقَهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَلَمْ يَرْزُقْهُ عِلْمًا فَهُوَ يَخْبِطُ فِي مَالِهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ لَا يَتَّقِي فِيهِ رَبَّهُ وَلَا يَصِلُ فِيهِ رَحِمَهُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُ لِلَّهِ فِيهِ حَقَّهُ فَهَذَا بِأَخْبَثِ الْمَنَازِلِ قَالَ وَعَبْدٌ لَمْ يَرْزُقْهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَلَا عِلْمًا فَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْ كَانَ لِي مَالٌ لَعَمِلْتُ بِعَمَلِ فُلَانٍ قَالَ هِيَ نِيَّتُهُ فَوِزْرُهُمَا فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever opens the way for a Muslim, a horse will be saddled for him and he will have the reward of seventy horses carried on his behalf in the cause of Allah."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَطْرَقَ مسلماً فَعَقَّتْ لَهُ الْفَرَسُ كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ سَبْعِينَ فَرَسًا حُمِلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِاللهِ
