It was
narrated from Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said: “Indifference towards this world does not mean forbidding
what is permitted, or squandering wealth, rather indifference towards
this world means not thinking that what you have in your hand is more
reliable than what is in Allah’s Hand, and it means feeling that
the
reward for a calamity that befalls you is greater than that which
the
calamity makes you miss out on.’”
It was
narrated that Abu Khallad, who was one of the Companions of
the
Prophet (ﷺ), said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If you
see a man who has been given indifference with regard to this world
and who speaks little, then draw close to him for he will indeed
offer
wisdom.’”
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِي خَلاَّدٍ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الرَّجُلَ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ زُهْدًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَقِلَّةَ مَنْطِقٍ فَاقْتَرِبُوا مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُلَقَّى الْحِكْمَةَ
Hadith 4102
Da’if — Darussalam
Indifference towards this world
It was
narrated that Sahl bin Sa’d As-Sa’idi said: “A man came to the
Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, show me a deed
which,
if I do it, Allah will love me and people will love me. The
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Be indifferent towards this world,
and Allah
will love you. Be indifferent to what is in people’s
hands, and they
will love you.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ أَبِي السَّفَرِ حَدَّثَنَا شِهَابُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْقُرَشِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا أَنَا عَمِلْتُهُ أَحَبَّنِيَ اللَّهُ وَأَحَبَّنِيَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ازْهَدْ فِي الدُّنْيَا يُحِبَّكَ اللَّهُ وَازْهَدْ فِيمَا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ يُحِبُّوكَ
Hadith 4103
Hasan — Darussalam
Indifference towards this world
It was
narrated from Abu Wa’il that a man from his people – Samurah
bin
Sahm – said: “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.’”
It was
narrated from Thabit that Anas said: “Salman felt sick and
Sa’d
came to visit him, and when he saw him he wept. Sa’d said to him:
‘Why are you weeping, my brother? Are you not a Companion of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? Are you not? Are you not?’ Salman said:
‘I
am only weeping for one reason: I am not weeping because of
longing
for this world or for dislike of the Hereafter. But the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) gave me some advice and I think that I have
transgressed.’
He said: ‘What was his advice to you?’ He said:
‘He advised me that
something like the provision of a rider is
sufficient for anyone of
you, and I think that I have transgressed
that. As for you, O Sa’d,
fear Allah when you pass a verdict, and
when you distribute (spoils of
war), and when you decide to do
anything.’”
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Aban bin ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan narrated that his
father said: “Zaid bin Thabit departed from Marwan at mid-day. I
said:
‘He has not sent him out at this time of the day except for
something
he asked.’ So I asked him, and he said: ‘He asked me
about some things
we heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:
“Whoever is focused
only on this world, Allah will confound his
affairs and make him fear
poverty constantly, and he will not get
anything of this world except
that which has been decreed for him.
Whoever is focused on the
Hereafter, Allah will settle his affairs
for him and make him feel
content with his lot, and his provision
and worldly gains will
undoubtedly come to him.”

Hadith 4106
Da’if — Darussalam
Being concerned with this world
‘Abdullah said: “I heard your Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever
focuses all
his concerns on one thing, the Hereafter, Allah will
relieve him of
worldly concerns, but whoever has disparate concerns
scattered among a
number of worldly issues, Allah will not care in
which of its valleys
he died.’”
(Abu)
Khalid Al-Walibi narrated from Abu Hurairah and he (one of the
narrators) said: “I do not know except that he attributed it to the
Prophet (ﷺ)” – “Allah says: ‘O son of Adam, devote yourself
to My
worship, and I will fill your heart with contentment and take
care of
your poverty; but if you do not do that, then I will fill
your heart
with worldly concerns and will not take care of your
poverty.’”
Mustawrid, a brother of Banu Fihr, said: “I heard the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘The likeness of this world in comparison to the
Hereafter is that of anyone of you dipping his finger into the sea:
let him see what he brings forth.’”

Hadith 4109
Hasan — Darussalam
The likeness of this world
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) lay down on a
reed mat, and it left marks on his skin. I said: ‘May my father and
mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah! If you had told us
we would have provided you with something that would save you this
trouble.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘What is there
between
myself and the world? This world and I are just like a rider
who stops
to rest beneath the shade of a tree then goes and leaves
it.’”
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ اضْطَجَعَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَلَى حَصِيرٍ فَأَثَّرَ فِي جِلْدِهِ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كُنْتَ آذَنْتَنَا فَفَرَشْنَا لَكَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا يَقِيكَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَا أَنَا وَالدُّنْيَا إِنَّمَا أَنَا وَالدُّنْيَا كَرَاكِبٍ اسْتَظَلَّ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ ثُمَّ رَاحَ وَتَرَكَهَا
Hadith 4110
Hasan — Darussalam
The likeness of this world
It was
narrated that Sahl bin Sa’d said: “We were with the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) in Dhul-Hulaifah, when we saw a dead sheep lifting its
leg (because of bloating). He said: ‘Don’t you think this is
worthless
to its owner? By the One in Whose hand is my soul, this
world is more
worthless to Allah than this (dead sheep) is to its
owner. If this
world was worth the wing of a mosquito to Allah, the
disbeliever would
not have a drop to drink from it.’”
Mustawrid bin Shaddad said: “I was riding with the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) when he came across a dead lamb that had been thrown
out.’ He
said: ‘Don’t you think that this is worthless to its
owners?’ It was
said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, it is because it is
worthless that they
have thrown it out, - or words to that effect. He
said: ‘By the One in
Whose Hand is my soul, this world is more
worthless to Allah than this
is to its owners.’”
Abu
Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying:
‘This
world is cursed and what is in it is cursed, except the
remembrance
of Allah (dhikr) and what is conducive to that, or one who
has
knowledge or who acquires knowledge.’”

Allah fulfills it.’”

harsh,

Da’if — Darussalam
One who is not paid any heed
It was
narrated from Abu Umamah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “The
one who most deserved to be envied, un my view, is the one
who has
the least burden, who prays a great deal and finds joy in
prayer, and
who is unknown among people and is not paid any heed. His
provision
will be sufficient, he will be content with it, his death
will come
quickly, his estate will be small and his mourners will be
few.”
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Umamah Al-Harithi that his
father
said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Simplicity is part
of
faith.’”
