Sahih Muslim

حَدَّثَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنِي حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ الْعَلَائِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ مَالِي مَالِي إِنَّمَا لَهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ ثَلَاثٌ مَا أَکَلَ فَأَفْنَی أَوْ لَبِسَ فَأَبْلَی أَوْ أَعْطَی فَاقْتَنَی وَمَا سِوَی ذَلِکَ فَهُوَ ذَاهِبٌ وَتَارِکُهُ لِلنَّاسِ

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: A servant says, My wealth. my wealth, but out of his wealth three things are only his: whatever he eats and makes use of or by means of which he dresses himself and it wears out or he gives as charity, and this is what he stored for himself (as a reward for the Hereafter), and what is beyond this (it is of no use to you) because you are to depart and leave it for other people.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of al-'Ala' b. 'Abd al-Rahman with the same chain of transmitters.

Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: Three things follow the bier of a dead man. Two of them come back and one is left with him: the members of his family, wealth and his good deeds. The members of his family and wealth come back and the deeds alone are left with him.

`Amr b. `Auf, who was an ally of Banu `Amir b. Luwayy (and he was one amongst them) who participated in Badr along with Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) reported that, Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) sent Abu `Ubaida b. Al-Jarrah to Bahrain for collecting Jizya and Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) had made a truce with the people of Bahrain and had appointed `Ala' b. Hadrami and Abu `Ubaida (for this purpose). They came with wealth from Bahrain and the Ansar heard about the arrival of Abu `Ubaida and they had observed the dawn prayer along with Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). When Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) had finished the prayer, they (the Ansar) came before him and Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) smiled as he saw them and then said: I think you have heard about the arrival of Abu `Ubaida with goods from Bahrain. They said: Allah's Messenger, yes, it is so. Thereupon he said: Be happy and be hopeful of that which gives you delight. By Allah, it is not the poverty about which I fear in regard to you but I am afraid in your case that (the worldly) riches way be given to you as were given to those who had gone before you and you begin to vie with one another for them as they vied for them, and these may destroy you as these destroyed them.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri as reported by Yunus with a slight variation of wording.

`Abdullah b. `Amr b. al-`As reported that Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: How would you be, O people, when Persia and Rome would be conquered for you? `Abd ar-Rahman b `Auf said: We would say as Allah has commanded us and we would express our gratitude to Allah. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Nothing else besides it? You would (in fact) vie with one another, then you would feel jealous, then your relations would be estranged and then you will bear enmity against one another, or something to the same effect. Then you would go to the poor emigrants and would make some the masters of the others.

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: 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).

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira through another chain of transmitters.

النَّبِيِّ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ سَوَائً ← أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ← مَعْمَرٌ، ← عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ،

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: Look at those who stand at a lower level than you but don't look at those who stand at a higher level than you, for this would make the favours (conferred upon you by Allah) insignificant (in your eyes). Abu Mu'awiya said: Upon you.

أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← اَبِیْ صَالِحٍ ← الْاَعْمَشِ ← أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَوَکِيعٌ ← أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ← و، ← أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ← أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ← و، ← جَرِيرٌ ← زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ← و،

حدثنا شيبان بن فروخ ، حدثنا همام ، حدثنا إسحاق بن عبد الله بن ابي طلحة ، حدثني عبد الرحمن بن ابي عمرة ، ان ابا هريرة حدثه انه سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، يقول: " إن ثلاثة في بني إسرائيل ابرص، واقرع، واعمى، فاراد الله ان يبتليهم، فبعث إليهم ملكا، فاتى الابرص، فقال: اي شيء احب إليك؟، قال: لون حسن، وجلد حسن، ويذهب عني الذي قد قذرني الناس، قال: فمسحه، فذهب عنه قذره واعطي لونا حسنا وجلدا حسنا، قال: فاي المال احب إليك؟، قال: الإبل او قال: البقر شك إسحاق إلا ان الابرص او الاقرع، قال احدهما: الإبل وقال الآخر: البقر، قال: فاعطي ناقة عشراء، فقال: بارك الله لك فيها، قال: فاتى الاقرع، فقال: اي شيء احب إليك؟، قال: شعر حسن، ويذهب عني هذا الذي قد قذرني الناس، قال: فمسحه فذهب عنه واعطي شعرا حسنا، قال: فاي المال احب إليك؟، قال: البقر، فاعطي بقرة حاملا، فقال: بارك الله لك فيها، قال: فاتى الاعمى، فقال: اي شيء احب إليك؟، قال: ان يرد الله إلي بصري فابصر به الناس، قال: فمسحه فرد الله إليه بصره، قال: فاي المال احب إليك؟، قال: الغنم، فاعطي شاة والدا، فانتج هذان وولد هذا، قال: فكان لهذا واد من الإبل، ولهذا واد من البقر، ولهذا واد من الغنم، قال: ثم إنه اتى الابرص في صورته وهيئته، فقال رجل مسكين: قد انقطعت بي الحبال في سفري، فلا بلاغ لي اليوم إلا بالله، ثم بك اسالك بالذي اعطاك اللون الحسن والجلد الحسن والمال بعيرا، اتبلغ عليه في سفري؟، فقال: الحقوق كثيرة، فقال له: كاني اعرفك، الم تكن ابرص يقذرك الناس فقيرا، فاعطاك الله، فقال: إنما ورثت هذا المال كابرا، عن كابر، فقال: إن كنت كاذبا فصيرك الله إلى ما كنت، قال: واتى الاقرع في صورته، فقال له مثل ما قال لهذا، ورد عليه مثل ما رد على هذا، فقال: إن كنت كاذبا، فصيرك الله إلى ما كنت، قال: واتى الاعمى في صورته وهيئته، فقال: رجل مسكين وابن سبيل انقطعت بي الحبال في سفري، فلا بلاغ لي اليوم إلا بالله، ثم بك اسالك بالذي رد عليك بصرك شاة، اتبلغ بها في سفري؟، فقال: قد كنت اعمى فرد الله إلي بصري، فخذ ما شئت ودع ما شئت، فوالله لا اجهدك اليوم شيئا اخذته لله، فقال: امسك مالك، فإنما ابتليتم فقد رضي عنك وسخط على صاحبيك "

Abu Huraira, narrated that he heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: There were three persons in Bani Isra'il, one suffering from leprosy, the other bald-headed and the third one blind. Allah decided to test them. So He sent an angel who came to the one who was suffering from leprosy and said: Which thing do you like most? He said: Beautiful colour and fine skin and removal of that which makes me detestable in the eye of people. He wiped him and his illness was no more and he was conferred upon beautiful colour and beautiful skin. He (the angel) again said: Which property do you like most? He said: Camels, or he said: The cow the narrator is, however, doubtful about it, but (out of the persons) suffering from leprosy or baldness one of them definitely said: The camel. And the other one said: Cow. And he (one who demanded camel) was bestowed upon a she-camel, in an advanced stage of pregnancy, and while giving he said: May Allah bless you in this. Then he came to the bald-headed person and said: Which thing do you like most? He said: Beautiful hair and that (this baldness) may be removed from me because of which people hate me. He wiped his body and his illness was removed and he was bestowed upon beautiful hair, and the angel said: Which wealth do you like most? He said: The cow. And he was given a pregnant cow and while handing it over to him he (the angel) said: May Allah bless you in this. Then he came to the blind man and he said: Which thing do you like most? He said: Allah should restore my eyesight so that I should be able to see people with the help of that. He wiped his body and Allah restored to him his eyesight, and he (the angel) also said: Which wealth do you like most? He said: The flock of sheep. And he was given a pregnant goat and that gave birth to young ones and it so happened that one valley abounded in camels and the other one in cows and the third one in sheep. He then came to the one who had suffered from leprosy in his (old) form and shape and he said: I am a poor person and my provision has run short in my journey and there is none to take me to my destination except with the help of Allah and your favour. I beg of you in His name Who gave you fine colour and fine skin, and the camel in the shape of wealth (to confer upon me) a camel which should carry me in my journey. He said: I have many responsibilities to discharge. Thereupon he said: I perceive as if I recognise you. Were you not suffering from leprosy whom people hated and you were a destitute and Allah conferred upon you (wealth)? He said: I have inherited this property from my forefathers. Thereupon he said: If you are a liar may Allah change you to that very position in which you had been. He then came to the one who was bald-headed in his (old) form and said to him the same what he had said to him (one suffering from leprosy) and he gave him the same reply as he had given him and he said: If you are a liar, may Allah turn you to your previous position in which you had been. And then he came to the blind man in his (old) form and shape and he said: I am a destitute person and a wayfarer. My provision have ran short and today there is no way to reach the destination but with the help of Allah and then with your help and I beg of you in the (name) of One Who restored your eyesight and gave you the flock of sheep to give me a sheep by which I should be able to make my provisions for the journey. He said: I was blind and Allah restored to me my eyesight; you take whatever you like and leave whatever you like. By Allah, I shall not stand in your way today for what you take in the name of God. Thereupon, he said: You keep with you what you have (in your possession). The fact is that you three were put to test and Allah is well pleased with you and He is annoyed with your companions.

It is reported on the authority of Amir b. Sa'd that Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas was in the fold of his camels that his son 'Umar came to him. When Sa'd saw him he said: I seek refuge with Allah from the mischief of this rider. And as he got down he said to him: You are busy with your camels and your sheep and you have abandoned people who are contending with one another for kingdom. Sa'd struck his chest and said: Keep quite. I heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: Allah loves the servant who is God-conscious and is free from want and is hidden (from the view of people).

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِسْمَعِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ ح و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَابْنُ بِشْرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يَقُولُا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَوَّلُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ رَمَی بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَقَدْ کُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ نَأْکُلُهُ إِلَّا وَرَقُ الْحُبْلَةِ وَهَذَا السَّمُرُ حَتَّی إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ کَمَا تَضَعُ الشَّاةُ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ تُعَزِّرُنِي عَلَی الدِّينِ لَقَدْ خِبْتُ إِذًا وَضَلَّ عَمَلِي وَلَمْ يَقُلْ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ إِذًا

Sa'd b. Abu Waqqas is reported to have, said: By Allah, I am the first person amongst the Arabs to throw an arrow in the cause of Allah and we used to go with Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and there was no food for us to eat but only the leaves of hubla and samur trees (they are wild trees) and as a result thereof one amongst us would relieve himself as does the goat. (How strange it is) that now the people of Banu Asad (the progeny of Zubair) instruct me in religion and try to impose punishment upon me (in regard to it). If it is so (that I am so ignorant of religion), then indeed, I am undone and my deeds have been lost. Ibn Numair, however, did not make a mention of the word (idhan) thus? (in his narration).

قَيْسٍ ← إِسْمَعِيلُ ← أَبِي وَابْنُ بِشْرٍ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ← و، ← سَعْدٍ، ← قَيْسٍ ← إِسْمَعِيلُ ← الْمُعْتَمِرُ، ← يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ،
