“We stopped with Abu Hashim bin ‘Utbah, who had been stabbed, and Mu’awiyah came to visit him. Abu Hashim wept and Mu’awiyah said to him: ‘Why are you weeping, O maternal uncle? Is there some pain bothering you, or is it because of this world, the best of which has already passed?’ He said: ‘It is not for any of these reasons. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me some advice and I wish that I had followed it. He ﷺ said: “There may come a time when you will see wealth divided among the people, and all you will need of that is a servant and a mount to ride in the cause of Allah.” That time came, but I accumulated wealth.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4103)  

فقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ أَيْ خَالِ؟ أَوَجَعٌ أَمْ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا؟ فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ صَفْوُهَا فقَالَ عَلَى كُلٍّ لَا وَلَكِنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ عَهْدًا وَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ تَبِعْتُهُ قَالَ «إِنَّكَ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ أَمْوَالًا تُقَسَّمُ بَيْنَ أَقْوَامٍ وَإِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ خَادِمٌ وَمَرْكَبٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» فَأَدْرَكْتُ وَجَمَعْتُ  

"When Allah loves a slave, He prevents him from the world, just as one of you prevents his sick from water." Another chain reports a similar narration. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2036)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا حَمَاهُ الدُّنْيَا كَمَا يَظَلُّ أَحَدُكُمْ يَحْمِي سَقِيمَهُ الْمَاءَ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "Indeed, successful is the one who accepts Islam and his provision is sufficient, and he remains patient with it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَكَانَ رِزْقُهُ كَفَافًا فَصَبَرَ عَلَيْهِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever among you wakes up physically healthy, feeling safe and secure within himself, with food for the day, it is as if he acquired the whole world.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4141)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مُعَافًى فِي بَدَنِهِ آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ عِنْدَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا حِيزَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا»  

[Machine] "We had some idols with us, and they were hanging on my door. When the Prophet ﷺ saw that, he said, 'Take them down, for they remind me of the worldly life.'"  

كَانَ لَنَا قِرَامٌ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَعُلِّقَتْ عَلَى بَابِي فَرَأَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَلِكَ فقَالَ «انْزِعِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُذَكِّرُنِي الدُّنْيَا»  

There should be a bedding for a man. a bedding for his wife and the third one for the guest, and the fourth one is for the Satan. (Using translation from Muslim 2084)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «فِرَاشٌ لِلرَّجُلِ وَفِرَاشٌ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَالثَّالِثُ لِلضَّيْفِ وَالرَّابِعُ لِلشَّيْطَانِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There is no vessel that the son of Adam fills worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to eat a few morsels that will keep his spine straight. However, if he must eat, then one-third for food, one-third for drink, and one-third for air."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ وِعَاءٍ مَلَأَ ابْنُ آدَمَ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ حَسْبُ ابْنِ آدَمَ أَكَلَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا بُدَّ فَثُلُثٌ لِطَعَامِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِشَرَابِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِنَفَسِهِ»  

I stood at the door of Paradise and I found that the overwhelming majority of those who entered therein was that of poor persons and the wealthy persons were detained to get into that. The denizens of Hell were commanded to get into Hell, and I stood upon the door of Fire and the majority amongst them who entered there was that of women. (Using translation from Muslim 2736)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «قُمْتُ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا عَامَّةُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُهَا الْمَسَاكِينُ وَإِذَا أَصْحَابُ الْجَدِّ مَحْبُوسُونَ وَإِذَا أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ قَدْ أُمِرَ بِهِمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى النَّارِ فَإِذَا عَامَّةُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُهَا النِّسَاءُ»  

“The poor believers will enter Paradise half a day – five hundred years – before the rich.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4122)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَدْخُلُ فُقَرَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ بِنِصْفِ يَوْمٍ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ»  

[Machine] While I was sitting in the mosque, a group of poor immigrants were gathered in the middle of the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque around noon and went towards them, sitting with them. When I saw the Prophet ﷺ sitting with them, I stood up and approached him. I overheard him saying, "Give glad tidings to the poor immigrants that they will enter paradise forty years before the wealthy."  

بَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَحَلْقَةُ مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَسَطَ الْمَسْجِدِ جُلُوسٌ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَسْجِدَ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِمْ قُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «بَشِّرْ فُقَرَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ أَنَّهُمْ لَيَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Indeed, the poor among the emigrants will precede the wealthy on the Day of Resurrection by seventy or forty autumns."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ فُقَرَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ يَسْبِقُونَ الْأَغْنِيَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِسَبْعِينَ أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا»  

“Richness is not an abundance of worldly goods, rather richness is contentment with one’s lot.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4137)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ إِنَّمَا الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ»  

[Machine] I said, "I was not sent with this hour except for one reason. I asked him about it, and he said, 'We asked about matters we heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'May Allah brighten the face of a person who hears a Hadith from us and transmits it to others who have greater understanding than him. And may Allah darken the face of a person who hears a Hadith from us and transmits it to others who have lesser understanding than him. There are three things which do not cause a Muslim's heart to deviate: sincerity of action for Allah, sincere advice to the leaders, and the adherence to the Jama'ah. Their supplications surround those who come after them. Whoever's intention is for this world, Allah will scatter his affairs and make poverty appear before his eyes. And he will not receive from this world except what has been decreed for him. And whoever's intention is for the Hereafter, Allah will bring his affairs together and make richness settle in his heart. And this world will come to him despite being reluctant.'"  

قُلْتُ مَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ إِلَّا لِشَيْءٍ سَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فقَالَ سَأَلَنَا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَبَلَّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ ثَلَاثٌ لَا يُغَلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ مُسْلِمٍ إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ وَمُنَاصَحَةُ وُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ وَلُزُومُ الْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ تُحِيطُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ وَمَنْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا نِيَّتَهُ فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَتِ الْآخِرَةُ نِيَّتَهُ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ»  

[Machine] While I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque, he said: "Look at the tallest man in the mosque in your eyes." So I looked and saw a man sitting in a dignified manner, speaking to people. I said, "This man," he said: "Look at the man with the lowest position in the mosque in your eyes." So I looked and saw a poor man in worn-out clothes. I said, "This man," and the Prophet ﷺ said: "This man is better in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection than the whole earth filled with people like him."  

بَيْنَمَا أَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ قَالَ «انْظُرْ أَرْفَعَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ» فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ فِي حُلَّةٍ جَالِسٌ يُحَدِّثُ قَوْمًا فَقُلْتُ هَذَا قَالَ «انْظُرْ أَوْضَعَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ» قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رُوَيْجِلٌ مِسْكِينٌ فِي ثَوْبٍ لَهُ خَلْقٍ قُلْتُ هَذَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ قَرَارِ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَ هَذَا»  

[Machine] "I saw seventy companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the ranks, none of whom had a cloak except for a waist wrap or a mantle wrapped around him that was tied behind him."  

«رَأَيْتُ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الصُّفَّةِ مَا عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ رِدَاءٌ إِلَّا إِزَارٌ أَوْ كِسَاءٌ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِهِ قَدْ عَقَدَهُ خَلْفَهُ»  

[Machine] I heard Abu Hurairah saying, "Our food during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was nothing but black dates and water."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ «مَا كَانَ طَعَامَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَّا الْأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ»  

[Machine] "Whoever told you that we used to satisfy ourselves with dates alone has lied to you. When the Prophet ﷺ laid siege to the tribe of Qurayzah, we only had some dates and a small amount of barley."  

«مَنْ حَدَّثَكُمْ أَنَّا كُنَّا نَشْبَعُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ فَقَدْ كَذَبَكُمْ فَلَمَّا افْتَتَحَ ﷺ قُرَيْظَةَ أَصَبْنَا شَيْئًا مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَالْوَدَكِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Dharr! Do you think that having a lot of wealth is wealth?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Do you think that having little wealth is poverty?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Indeed, true wealth is the richness of the heart, and true poverty is the poverty of the heart." Then he asked me about a man from the Quraysh and said, "Do you know so and so?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "How do you see him and how does he see you?" I said, "When he asks, he is given, and when he comes, he is welcomed." Then he asked me about a man from the people of As-Suffah (the poor companions who stayed in the Prophet's Mosque) and said, "Do you know so and so?" I said, "No, by Allah, I don't know him, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "So he continued to praise him and mention his virtues until I recognized him." So I said, "I have recognized him, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "How do you see him or how do you perceive him?" I said, "He is a poor man from the people of As-Suffah." He said, "He is better than the entire world and everything in it." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Shouldn't he be given some of what others are given?" He said, "If he is given something good, then he is deserving of it. And if it is withheld from him, then he has been given a reward for it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَتَرَى كَثْرَةَ الْمَالِ هُوَ الْغِنَى؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَتَرَى قِلَّةَ الْمَالِ هُوَ الْفَقْرُ؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا الْغِنَى غِنَى الْقَلْبِ وَالْفَقْرُ فَقْرُ الْقَلْبِ» ثُمَّ سَأَلَنِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فقَالَ «هَلْ تَعْرِفُ فُلَانًا»؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَكَيْفَ تَرَاهُ وَتَرَاهُ؟ » قُلْتُ إِذَا سَأَلَ أُعْطِيَ وَإِذَا حَضَرَ أُدْخِلَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَنِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ فقَالَ «هَلْ تَعْرِفُ فُلَانًا؟ » قُلْتُ لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا أَعْرِفُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَمَا زَالَ يُحَلِّيهِ وَيَنْعَتُهُ حَتَّى عَرَفْتُهُ» فَقُلْتُ قَدْ عَرَفْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَكَيْفَ تَرَاهُ أَوْ تَرَاهُ؟ » قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ مِسْكِينٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ فقَالَ «هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ طِلَاعِ الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْآخَرِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا يُعْطَى مِنْ بَعْضِ مَا يُعْطَى الْآخَرُ؟ فقَالَ «إِذَا أُعْطِيَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ أَهْلُهُ وَإِنْ صُرِفَ عَنْهُ فَقَدْ أُعْطِيَ حَسَنَةً»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No sun rises without having two angels next to it calling out, 'O Allah, whoever spends, grant him plenty in return, and whoever withholds, let him face loss.'  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا طَلَعَتْ شَمْسٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا وَبِجَنْبَتَيْهَا مَلَكَانِ يُنَادِيَانِ اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ فَأَعْقِبْهُ خَلَفًا وَمَنْ أَمْسَكَ فَأَعْقِبْهُ تَلَفًا»  

“This world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4113)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الدُّنْيَا سِجْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَجَنَّةُ الْكَافِرِ»  

[Machine] Narrated by Al-Qa'nabi, who said that Abdul Aziz ibn Muhammad narrated to us, from Al-Ala' who narrated from his father, from Abu Hurairah, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the disbeliever."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الدُّنْيَا سِجْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَجَنَّةُ الْكَافِرِ»  

The Prophet said concerning the Verse: "Every day He is (engaged) in some affair." "His affairs include forgiving sins, relieving distress, raising some people and bringing others low." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 202)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي قَوْلِهِ {كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ} قَالَ «مِنْ شَأْنِهِ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ ذَنْبًا وَيُفَرِّجَ كَرْبًا وَيَرْفَعُ قَوْمًا وَيَضَعُ آخَرِينَ»  

“I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘There is nothing left of this world except trials and tribulations.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4035)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا بَلَاءٌ وَفِتْنَةٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said one night, "Glory be to Allah! What temptations have been sent down? And what treasures have been opened? Wake up the inhabitants of the stones, for many a fully-clothed person in this world will be stripped naked on the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا أُنْزِلَ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ؟ وَمَاذَا فُتِحَ مِنَ الْخَزَائِنِ؟ أَيْقِظُوا صَوَاحِبَ الْحُجَرِ فَرُبَّ كَاسِيَةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَارِيَةٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

I stood at the door of Paradise and I found that the overwhelming majority of those who entered therein was that of poor persons and the wealthy persons were detained to get into that. The denizens of Hell were commanded to get into Hell, and I stood upon the door of Fire and the majority amongst them who entered there was that of women. (Using translation from Muslim 2736)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «قُمْتُ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا عَامَّةُ مَنْ دَخَلَهَا الْمَسَاكِينُ وَإِذَا أَصْحَابُ الْجَدِّ مَحْبُوسُونَ وَأَصْحَابُ النَّارِ قَدْ أُمِرَ بِهِمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى النَّارِ فَإِذَا عَامَّةُ مَنْ دَخَلَهَا النِّسَاءُ»  

[Machine] "Through the road, he said, 'O Nafi', are you listening?' I said 'yes'. When I said 'no', he did not return to the road and then he said, 'This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing it.'"  

عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ يَا نَافِعُ أَتَسْمَعُ؟ فَأَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَلَمَّا قُلْتُ لَا رَاجَعَ الطَّرِيقَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, the dinar and dirham destroyed those who came before you, and they will also destroy you."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا إِنَّ الدِّينَارَ وَالدِّرْهَمَ أَهْلَكَا مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ وَهُمَا مُهْلِكَاكُمْ»  

[Machine] "Um Sulaim sent a piece of cloth with some moistness to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . He would then grasp the cloth and send it to some of his wives. Then he would grasp the cloth and send it to his other wives. He would do this multiple times, and he would have a desire for it."  

«أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ بَعَثَتْ بِقِنَاعٍ فِيهِ رُطَبٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ» فَجَعَلَ يَقْبِضُ الْقَبْضَةَ فَيَبْعَثُ بِهَا إِلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُ الْقَبْضَةَ فَيَبْعَثُ بِهَا إِلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ بِهَا وَإِنَّهُ لَيَشْتَهِيهِ « فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَشْتَهِيهِ  

[Machine] It is narrated that when the Prophet (pbuh) would go out for battle, his last interaction before leaving would be with Fatimah, and when he would return from battle, his first interaction would be with Fatimah. This happened when he went for the Tabuk expedition, and Ali was with him. Fatimah prepared a mat in her house and hung a curtain on her door. She also dyed her face veil with saffron. When her father (pbuh) returned and saw what she had done, he turned back and sat in the mosque. She then sent Bilal to him and told him to ask her father (pbuh) why he did not enter the house. Bilal went to him and asked, and the Prophet (pbuh) replied, "I saw that she changed something." Bilal informed her of the Prophet's (pbuh) reply, so she removed the curtain, took off the mat, threw away what was on her and put on her regular clothes. Bilal informed the Prophet (pbuh) of this, and he came to her, embraced her and said, "This is how you should be, my father and mother be sacrificed for you."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي غَزَاةٍ كَانَ آخِرُ عَهْدِهِ بِفَاطِمَةَ وَإِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ غَزَاةٍ كَانَ أَوَّلُ عَهْدِهِ بِفَاطِمَةَ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهُ خَرَجَ لِغَزْوِ تَبُوكَ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَبَسَطَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا بِسَاطًا وَعَلَّقَتْ عَلَى بَابِهَا سِتْرًا وَصَبَغَتْ مِقْنَعَتَهَا بِزَعْفَرَانٍ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبُوهَا ﷺ وَرَأَى مَا أَحْدَثَتْ رَجَعَ فَجَلَسَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى بِلَالٍ فَقَالَتْ يَا بِلَالُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى أَبِي فَسَلْهُ مَا يَرُدُّهُ عَنْ بَابِي؟ فَأَتَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهَا أَحْدَثَتْ ثَمَّ شَيْئًا» فَأَخْبَرَهَا فَهَتَكَتِ السِّتْرَ وَرَفَعَتِ الْبِسَاطَ وَأَلْقَتْ مَا عَلَيْهَا وَلَبِسَتْ أَطْمَارَهَا فَأَتَاهُ بِلَالٌ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَأَتَاهُ فَاعْتَنَقَهَا وَقَالَ «هَكَذَا كُونِي فِدَاكِ أَبِي وَأُمِّي»  

ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of my shoulder and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler." The sub-narrator added: Ibn ʿUmar used to say, "If you survive till the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your death." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6416)  

أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَنْكِبِي أَوْ قَالَ بِمَنْكِبَيَّ فقَالَ «كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ» قَالَ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلَا تَنْتَظِرُ الْمَسَاءَ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَلَا تَنْتَظِرُ الصَّبَّاحَ وَخُذْ مِنْ صِحَّتِكَ لِمَرَضِكَ وَمَنْ حَيَاتِكَ لِمَوْتِكَ  

It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The nobility of the people of this world, that which they (always) go to, is wealth.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3225)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَحْسَابُ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا الْمَالُ»  

It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The nobility of the people of this world, that which they (always) go to, is wealth.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3225)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَحْسَابَ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا الَّذِي يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَيْهِ لَهَذَا الْمَالُ»  

I came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ as he was reciting:" Abundance diverts you" (cii. 1). He said: The son of Adam claims: My wealth, my wealth. And he (the Holy Prophet) said: O son of Adam. is there anything as your belonging except that which you consumed, which you utilised, or which you wore and then it was worn out or you gave as charity and sent it forward? (Using translation from Muslim 2958a)   

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ {أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ} قَالَ «يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ مَا لِي مَا لِي وَإِنَّمَا لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the food of the son of Adam is a parable for this world, as what comes out of the son of Adam goes in. Even if he adds seasonings and salt, look at what becomes of it."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ مَطْعَمَ ابْنِ آدَمَ ضُرِبَ لِلدُّنْيَا مَثَلًا بِمَا خَرَجَ مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ وَإِنْ قَزَّحَهُ وَمَلَّحَهُ فَانْظُرْ مَا يَصِيرُ إِلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] The camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , named Al-Adba', used to never be overtaken. Every time people attempted to overtake it, it would surpass them. Then, an Arab man on a fast horse approached and surpassed the camel. This incident bothered the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the extent that it was noticeable on their faces. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw this and said, "It is a right of Allah that nothing of this filth should rise except that Allah will put it down."  

كَانَتْ نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَضْبَاءُ لَا تُسْبَقُ كُلَّمَا سَابَقُوهَا سَبَقَتْ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ فَسَابَقَهَا فَسَبَقَهَا فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى رَأَى ذَلِكَ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْتَفِعَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْقَذِرَةِ إِلَّا وَضَعَهَا اللَّهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a bed made of palm fibres and it was covered with a black cloth. We filled it with palm fibres. Abu Bakr and Umar came in and found the Prophet ﷺ sleeping on it. When he saw them, he sat up while they were looking at the impression of the bed on the side of the Prophet ﷺ . Abu Bakr and Umar wept, saying, "O Messenger of Allah! What is it that makes you bear such harshness? We see the beds and mattresses of the Persian kings and Caesar on silk mattresses, while yours is made of palm fibres." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not say such things. Verily, the beds and mattresses of those kings and leaders will be in the Fire, but my bed and mattress will lead me to Paradise."  

كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَرِيرٌ مُشَبَّكٌ بِالْبَرْدِيِّ عَلَيْهِ كِسَاءٌ أَسْوَدُ قَدْ حَشَوْنَاهُ بِالْبَرْدِيِّ فَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَائِمٌ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمَا اسْتَوَى جَالِسًا فَنَظَرَا فَإِذَا أَثَرُ السَّرِيرِ فِي جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَبَكَيَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا يُؤْذِيكَ خُشُونَةُ مَا نَرَى مِنْ سَرِيرِكَ وَفِرَاشِكَ وَهَذَا كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرُ عَلَى فُرُشِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ فقَالَ «لَا تَقُولَا هَذَا فَإِنَّ فِرَاشَ كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرَ فِي النَّارِ وَإِنَّ فِرَاشِي وَسَرِيرِي هَذَا عَاقِبَتُهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ»  

"Glad tidings to whoever is guided to Islam, his livelihood was sufficient and he was satisfied." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2349)   

أَنَّ أَبَا عَلِيٍّ الْجَنْبِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «طُوبَى لِمَنْ هُدِيَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَكَانَ عَيْشُهُ كَفَافًا وَقَنَّعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ»  

[Machine] When death approached Salman, they noticed some anxiety in him. They asked, "What makes you anxious, O Abu Abdullah, especially when you have a previous record of good deeds? You witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ many glorious battles and conquests." He replied, "What worries me is that our beloved Prophet ﷺ entrusted us before his departure, saying, 'Today, the reward for your deeds will be like the reward of a hundred riders.' This is what makes me anxious." So, the wealth of Salman was gathered, and its value was fifteen dirhams.  

أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ الْخَيْرَ حِينَ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ عَرَفُوا مِنْهُ بَعْضَ الْجَزَعِ قَالُوا مَا يُجْزِعُكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَقَدْ كَانَتْ لَكَ سَابِقَةٌ فِي الْخَيْرِ شَهِدْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَغَازِيَ حَسَنَةً وَفُتُوحًا عِظَامًا؟ قَالَ يُجْزِعُنِي أَنَّ حَبِيبَنَا ﷺ حِينَ فَارَقَنَا عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا قَالَ «لِيَكْفِ الْيَوْمَ مِنْكُمْ كَزَادِ الرَّاكِبِ» فَهَذَا الَّذِي أَجْزَعَنِي فَجُمِعَ مَالُ سَلْمَانَ فَكَانَ قِيمَتُهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ دِرْهَماً*  

[Machine] "We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a cave when {By those [winds] sent forth in gusts} descended upon him. So I took hold of it from within the garment, and surely his mouth was moistened with it. I do not know which of those Surahs was the last revealed, {So in what statement after this will they believe?} or {When they are told, 'Bow down,' they do not bow down.} A serpent preceded us and entered a hole. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You were protected from its evil just as you were from your own evil.'"  

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَارٍ فَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ {وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا} فَأَخَذْتُهَا مِنْ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ فَاهُ رَطْبٌ بِهَا فَمَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّهَا خَتَمَ {فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ} أَوْ {إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوا لَا يَرْكَعُونَ} فَسَبَقَتْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي جُحْرٍ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا كَمَا وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ»  

While we were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ in a cave at Mina, when Surat-wal-Mursalat were revealed and he recited it and I heard it (directly) from his mouth as soon as he recited its revelation. Suddenly a snake sprang at us and the Prophet ﷺ said (ordered us): "Kill it." We ran to kill it but it escaped quickly. The Prophet ﷺ said, "It has escaped your evil and you too have escaped its evil." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1830)  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَارٍ فَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ {وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا} فَإِنَّهُ لَيَتْلُوهَا وَإِنِّي لَأَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ فَاهُ لَرَطْبٌ بِهَا إِذْ وَثَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا حَيَّةٌ فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اقْتُلُوهَا» فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَذَهَبَتْ فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَقَدْ وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever loves this world will harm his hereafter, and whoever loves his hereafter will harm his world, so prioritize what remains over what diminishes."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ دُنْيَاهُ أَضَرَّ بِآخِرَتِهِ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ آخِرَتَهُ أَضَرَّ بِدُنْيَاهُ فَآثِرُوا مَا يَبْقَى عَلَى مَا يَفْنَى»  

"Do not take to the estate, such that you become desirous of the world." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2328)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الضَّيْعَةَ فَتَرْغَبُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا»  

When one of you looks at one who stands at a higher level than you in regard to wealth and physical structure he should also see one who stands at a lower level than you in regard to these things (in which he stands) at a higher level (as compared to him). (Using translation from Muslim 2963a)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَنْ فُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْخَلْقِ أَوِ الرِّزْقِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْهُ مِمَّنْ فُضِّلَ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ»  

When one of you looks at one who stands at a higher level than you in regard to wealth and physical structure he should also see one who stands at a lower level than you in regard to these things (in which he stands) at a higher level (as compared to him). (Using translation from Muslim 2963a)  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا نَظَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ فُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْخَلْقِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْهُ مِمَّنْ فُضِّلَ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ»  

“Look at those who are beneath you and do not look at those who are above you, for it is more suitable that you should not consider as less the blessing of Allah.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4142)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكُمْ وَانْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لَا تَرُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you sees someone above him in wealth and status, he should look at someone below him in wealth and status."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَنْ فَوْقَهُ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْحَسَبِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ دُونَهُ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْحَسَبِ»  

[Machine] She said, "The pain of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has intensified and he has seven or nine dinars with him." I said, "What about that gold?" He said, "Give it in charity." She said, "So I was occupied with it." Then he said, "O Aisha, what happened to that gold?" I said, "I still have it." He said, "Bring it to me." She said, "So I brought it to him and he placed it in his hand and then said, 'What does Muhammad think if he were to meet Allah with this in his possession? What does Muhammad think if he were to meet Allah with this in his possession?'"  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتِ اشْتَدَّ وَجَعُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ سَبْعَةُ دَنَانِيرَ أَوْ تِسْعَةٌ فقَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا فَعَلَتْ تِلْكَ الذَّهَبُ»؟ فَقُلْتُ هِيَ عِنْدِي قَالَ «تَصَدَّقِي بِهَا» قَالَتْ فَشُغِلْتُ بِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا فَعَلَتْ تِلْكَ الذَّهَبُ»؟ فَقُلْتُ هِيَ عِنْدِي فقَالَ «ائْتِنِي بِهَا» قَالَتْ فَجِئْتُ بِهَا فَوَضَعَهَا فِي كَفِّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا ظَنُّ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْ لَوْ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهَذِهِ عِنْدَهُ؟ مَا ظَنُّ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْ لَوْ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهَذِهِ عِنْدَهُ»  

"Paradise is surrounded by hardships, and the Fire is surrounded by desires." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2559)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «حُفَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ بِالْمَكَارِهِ وَحُفَّتِ النَّارُ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The strong person is not the one who can overpower others, rather the strong person is the one who can control their own desires."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ مَنْ غَلَبَ إِنَّمَا الشَّدِيدُ مَنْ غَلَبَ نَفْسَهُ»  

The Paradise is surrounded by hardships and the Hell-Fire is surrounded by temptations. (Using translation from Muslim 2822)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «حُفَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ بِالْمَكَارِهِ وَحُفَّتِ النَّارُ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ»
