Riyad Al-Saleh from the words of the Master of Messengers, may God bless him and grant him peace
Chapter on the virtue of asceticism in this world, the encouragement to reduce it, and the virtue of poverty
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, he said
I was walking with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in Harra in Medina
Someone received us
He said, “O Abu Dharr, I told you, O Messenger of God.”
He said: I am not pleased that I have gold like this
Three days pass and I have a fire
Except for something I reserve for debt
Except that I say about the servants of God like this, like this, and like this
To his right, to his left, and behind him
Then he walked and said
Those who have the most will be the few on the Day of Resurrection
Except for those who say about money like this, like this, like this
To his right, to his left, and behind him
And they are few
Then he told me where you are, do not leave until I come to you
Then he set off into the black of the night until he disappeared
Then I heard a voice rising
So I feared that someone might have attacked the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
So I wanted to come to him
So I remembered his saying, “Don’t leave until I come to you.”
I did not leave until he came to me
I said, “I heard a voice that I feared.”
So I mentioned to him
He said, "Did you hear him?"
I said yes
He said that Gabriel came to me
He said: Whoever dies from your nation does not associate anything with God
He entered heaven
I said, even if he commits adultery, even if he steals
He said, even if he commits adultery, even if he steals
And agreed upon
This is the wording of Bukhari
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him
On the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He said
If I had a gold like Uhud
I am glad that three nights do not pass me by
I have something from him
Except for something I reserve for debt
Agreed
Free
It is a land of black stones
I monitor it
That is, prepare it and save it
Those who have the most will be the few on the Day of Resurrection
What is meant?
More money and less reward
Your place
That is, it takes your place
Don't leave
That is, do not leave your place
He disappeared
That is, his person disappeared from sight
I don't see him anymore
Accidental
Any harm done to him
One of the benefits of talking
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, humbled himself with his companions
And do not raise it above any of them
Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, behaved well with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He was extremely concerned about his safety from all harm
It is permissible to keep money for an absent debtor
Or in order to repay a deferred debt when it falls due
Because repayment of debt takes precedence over voluntary charity
Luck in spending for the sake of God
And not hoarding money
It is permissible to identify oneself for a valid purpose
As if his nickname was more famous than his name
It is necessary to comply with the order and stand by it
Better than committing something that disagrees with his opinion
Even if it was what opinion required
The illusion of paying a spoiler until this is achieved
It is better to pay off the spoilage
The response of the Companions, may God be pleased with them, to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And not to contradict it
It is permissible for a sheikh to ask his student about something that will benefit him, scientifically or otherwise
It is permissible for a student to consult his sheikh to confirm or remove a suspicious matter
The review should not be urgent
Whoever does that, it is permissible for the sheikh to rebuke him in a way that suits him
Like the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, rebuking Abu Dharr
As in some narrations he said
Although my father has a burden
The one who commits a major sin is not an infidel
Sunnah is a revelation from God
Gabriel used to bring it down to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
But it is an unrecited revelation
It is permissible to use if when wishing for good
The asceticism of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
He used to spend more than anyone who did not fear poverty
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Look at who is below you
And do not look at who is above you
It is better that you do not disdain God’s blessing upon you
Agreed
This is a Muslim word
And in a narration by Al-Bukhari
If one of you looks at someone who has superiority over him in money and character
Let him look at who is below him
below you
That is, lower than you in worldly matters
More worthy
That is, more deserving
Disdain
You belittle and despise
One of the benefits of talking
It is desirable for a Muslim to look at those who are inferior to him in worldly matters
And look to those who are higher than him in matters of religion
Looking at who has more money than him
It leads to boredom and anxiety
And not being thankful for God’s blessings upon him
Looking at someone whose religion is higher than him
It stimulates more obedience and turning to God Almighty in worship
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him
On the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said
Miserable slave of dinar, dirham, velvet, and khamis
If he is given, he is satisfied, and if he is not given, he is not raised
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
Misery means perishing
Velor is a garment that has velvet
The khamisa, i.e. the square covering
One of the benefits of talking
Warning against enslavement to anyone other than God
Especially for these mortal things
Like money and clothing
Servitude to God
Inheriting satisfaction and contentment
Unlike slavery to anyone other than God
It generates scarcity, miserliness, fearlessness, and selfishness
What is reprehensible is the combination and ownership of anything that exceeds what is needed
And distract from God Almighty
It was not used in God's command
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
I saw seventy of the people of Suffa
None of them is a man wearing a robe
Either a garment or a cloak
They were tied around their necks
Some of them reach half the length of the legs
Some of them reach the ankles
He gathers it with his hand, hating for her to see his private parts
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
Ahl al-Suffah are ascetic companions
Poor strangers
They were sheltering at the end of the mosque of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
It is a misleading position
She used to shelter the poor
Rida
That is, what covers only the upper body
And the garment
It only covers the lower part of the body
One of the benefits of talking
It is permissible to wear one garment
The believer is keen to cover his private parts
It is permissible for men to spend the night in the mosque
The people of Suffa and their sector asceticized for knowledge and jihad for the sake of God
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
The world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the infidel
Narrated by Muslim
One of the benefits of talking
The humiliation of the world is before God
Inciting the believer to turn away from the love of the world
And not to indulge in its enjoyment
And his longing for the afterlife
The infidel's good deeds in this world's life will be lost
On the authority of Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both, he said:
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, took a look at those who were captive and said
Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a passerby
Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them, used to say:
If it is evening, do not wait for the morning
If you wake up, don't wait for the evening
And take from your health for your illness
From your life to your death
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
They said in explaining this hadith
It means do not depend on the world and do not make it your home
And do not tell yourself how long you will stay there
Not taking care of it
It only relates to what a stranger relates to in a country other than his homeland
Do not engage in anything that a stranger who wants to go to his family does not do
And God bless you
One of the benefits of talking
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was taken by someone like Abdullah Ibn Omar
Evidence of his love for him
And alert him to the importance of what he says to him
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was keen
Encouraging asceticism in this world and limiting yourself to what is necessary
And whoever wants that
He was like a passerby
He only supplies himself with his own strength
It reduces loads and burdens
Which hinders his progress and interrupts his travel to his destination
The believer in this world is a stranger
Because heaven is his first home
His enemy drove him away from him and took him captive
He is provided with what reaches the highest level
Taking the initiative to do everything on time
Encouragement to seize opportunities for greater obedience
And don't slow down
Health and life are an opportunity for the believer
He must benefit from it by doing good deeds
He should not neglect it
He should not neglect them in what will not benefit him in the afterlife
On the authority of Abu Abbas
Sahl bin Saadan Al-Saadi, may God be pleased with him, said
A man came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said
O Messenger of God
Show me a job that if I do it, God will love me
And people loved me
And he said
Renounce this world and God will love you
Renounce what people have and people will love you
Narrated by Ibn Majah
One of the benefits of talking
The Companions, may God be pleased with them, were keen to know what would bring them closer to God
It benefits people so that their lives can be straightened out with them
It is a matter of collecting the good of this world and the hereafter
Whoever deems himself in this world and looks forward to what God has
I long to meet him, may God love him
Because whoever loves meeting God, God loves meeting him
Not looking at what is in people's hands is a reason to love people
Therefore, all the messengers did not ask people for hire
On the authority of Al-Numan bin Bashir, may God be pleased with them both, he said:
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, mentioned what happened to people in this world
He said, “I saw the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, continuing to turn away today.”
Whatever he finds of the dhal he fills his stomach with
Narrated by Muslim and Al-Daqal, meaning bad dates
What happened to people, that is, what they possessed and obtained
From the world, that is, from money, prestige, and other things
The day continues to twist, that is, the day continues to sympathize with his honorable stomach from hunger
One of the benefits of talking
Friends and students should know the condition of their elders and scholars
They feel sad because of his condition and are happy because of his happiness
As were the companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, asceticized in this world
And his patience with hunger, preferring the hereafter to this world
And education for his companions
