Riyad Al-Saleh from the words of the Master of Messengers, may God bless him and grant him peace
0:09
Chapter on the virtue of asceticism in this world, the encouragement to reduce it, and the virtue of poverty
0:19
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, he said
0:24
I was walking with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in Harra in Medina
0:30
Someone received us
0:32
He said, “O Abu Dharr, I told you, O Messenger of God.”
0:39
He said: I am not pleased that I have gold like this
0:45
Three days pass and I have a fire
0:50
Except for something I reserve for debt
0:53
Except that I say about the servants of God like this, like this, and like this
0:59
To his right, to his left, and behind him
1:03
Then he walked and said
1:05
Those who have the most will be the few on the Day of Resurrection
1:09
Except for those who say about money like this, like this, like this
1:14
To his right, to his left, and behind him
1:18
And they are few
1:21
Then he told me where you are, do not leave until I come to you
1:27
Then he set off into the black of the night until he disappeared
1:31
Then I heard a voice rising
1:34
So I feared that someone might have attacked the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
1:40
So I wanted to come to him
1:42
So I remembered his saying, “Don’t leave until I come to you.”
1:46
I did not leave until he came to me
1:49
I said, “I heard a voice that I feared.”
1:54
So I mentioned to him
1:56
He said, "Did you hear him?"
1:59
I said yes
2:01
He said that Gabriel came to me
2:04
He said: Whoever dies from your nation does not associate anything with God
2:09
He entered heaven
2:11
I said, even if he commits adultery, even if he steals
2:15
He said, even if he commits adultery, even if he steals
2:19
And agreed upon
2:21
This is the wording of Bukhari
2:23
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him
2:26
On the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:29
He said
2:30
If I had a gold like Uhud
2:33
I am glad that three nights do not pass me by
2:37
I have something from him
2:39
Except for something I reserve for debt
2:42
Agreed
2:45
Free
2:47
It is a land of black stones
2:50
I monitor it
2:52
That is, prepare it and save it
2:54
Those who have the most will be the few on the Day of Resurrection
2:58
What is meant?
3:00
More money and less reward
3:04
Your place
3:06
That is, it takes your place
3:08
Don't leave
3:10
That is, do not leave your place
3:12
He disappeared
3:14
That is, his person disappeared from sight
3:17
I don't see him anymore
3:19
Accidental
3:20
Any harm done to him
3:23
One of the benefits of talking
3:26
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, humbled himself with his companions
3:31
And do not raise it above any of them
3:34
Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, behaved well with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
3:42
He was extremely concerned about his safety from all harm
3:46
It is permissible to keep money for an absent debtor
3:50
Or in order to repay a deferred debt when it falls due
3:54
Because repayment of debt takes precedence over voluntary charity
4:00
Luck in spending for the sake of God
4:03
And not hoarding money
4:05
It is permissible to identify oneself for a valid purpose
4:09
As if his nickname was more famous than his name
4:14
It is necessary to comply with the order and stand by it
4:17
Better than committing something that disagrees with his opinion
4:21
Even if it was what opinion required
4:24
The illusion of paying a spoiler until this is achieved
4:28
It is better to pay off the spoilage
4:31
The response of the Companions, may God be pleased with them, to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
4:38
And not to contradict it
4:41
It is permissible for a sheikh to ask his student about something that will benefit him, scientifically or otherwise
4:48
It is permissible for a student to consult his sheikh to confirm or remove a suspicious matter
4:54
The review should not be urgent
4:58
Whoever does that, it is permissible for the sheikh to rebuke him in a way that suits him
5:03
Like the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, rebuking Abu Dharr
5:08
As in some narrations he said
5:11
Although my father has a burden
5:13
The one who commits a major sin is not an infidel
5:16
Sunnah is a revelation from God
5:20
Gabriel used to bring it down to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
5:25
But it is an unrecited revelation
5:28
It is permissible to use if when wishing for good
5:32
The asceticism of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
5:36
He used to spend more than anyone who did not fear poverty
5:40
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
5:46
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
5:50
Look at who is below you
5:54
And do not look at who is above you
5:58
It is better that you do not disdain God’s blessing upon you
6:03
Agreed
6:05
This is a Muslim word
6:07
And in a narration by Al-Bukhari
6:10
If one of you looks at someone who has superiority over him in money and character
6:15
Let him look at who is below him
6:19
below you
6:22
That is, lower than you in worldly matters
6:25
More worthy
6:27
That is, more deserving
6:28
Disdain
6:30
You belittle and despise
6:33
One of the benefits of talking
6:37
It is desirable for a Muslim to look at those who are inferior to him in worldly matters
6:42
And look to those who are higher than him in matters of religion
6:47
Looking at who has more money than him
6:50
It leads to boredom and anxiety
6:52
And not being thankful for God’s blessings upon him
6:55
Looking at someone whose religion is higher than him
6:59
It stimulates more obedience and turning to God Almighty in worship
7:06
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him
7:10
On the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said
7:14
Miserable slave of dinar, dirham, velvet, and khamis
7:19
If he is given, he is satisfied, and if he is not given, he is not raised
7:24
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
7:26
Misery means perishing
7:30
Velor is a garment that has velvet
7:35
The khamisa, i.e. the square covering
7:39
One of the benefits of talking
7:43
Warning against enslavement to anyone other than God
7:46
Especially for these mortal things
7:49
Like money and clothing
7:52
Servitude to God
7:54
Inheriting satisfaction and contentment
7:56
Unlike slavery to anyone other than God
7:59
It generates scarcity, miserliness, fearlessness, and selfishness
8:05
What is reprehensible is the combination and ownership of anything that exceeds what is needed
8:09
And distract from God Almighty
8:12
It was not used in God's command
8:15
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
8:20
I saw seventy of the people of Suffa
8:24
None of them is a man wearing a robe
8:27
Either a garment or a cloak
8:30
They were tied around their necks
8:33
Some of them reach half the length of the legs

Ahl al-Suffah are ascetic companions
8:50
Poor strangers
8:52
They were sheltering at the end of the mosque of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
8:58
It is a misleading position
9:00
She used to shelter the poor
9:03
Rida
9:06
That is, what covers only the upper body
9:09
And the garment
9:11
It only covers the lower part of the body
9:14
One of the benefits of talking
9:16
It is permissible to wear one garment
9:19
The believer is keen to cover his private parts
9:23
It is permissible for men to spend the night in the mosque
9:27

9:43
The world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the infidel
9:47
Narrated by Muslim
9:49
One of the benefits of talking
9:53
The humiliation of the world is before God
9:56
Inciting the believer to turn away from the love of the world
10:00
And not to indulge in its enjoyment
10:03
And his longing for the afterlife
10:06
The infidel's good deeds in this world's life will be lost
10:11
On the authority of Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both, he said:
10:17
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, took a look at those who were captive and said
10:23
Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a passerby
10:28
Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them, used to say:
10:32
If it is evening, do not wait for the morning
10:36
If you wake up, don't wait for the evening
10:40
And take from your health for your illness
10:43
From your life to your death
10:46
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
10:48
They said in explaining this hadith
10:52
It means do not depend on the world and do not make it your home
10:57
And do not tell yourself how long you will stay there
11:01
Not taking care of it
11:04
It only relates to what a stranger relates to in a country other than his homeland
11:10
Do not engage in anything that a stranger who wants to go to his family does not do
11:17
And God bless you
11:20
One of the benefits of talking
11:23
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was taken by someone like Abdullah Ibn Omar
11:28
Evidence of his love for him
11:31
And alert him to the importance of what he says to him
11:35
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was keen
11:39
Encouraging asceticism in this world and limiting yourself to what is necessary
11:45
And whoever wants that
11:47
He was like a passerby
11:49
He only supplies himself with his own strength
11:52
It reduces loads and burdens
11:55
Which hinders his progress and interrupts his travel to his destination
12:00
The believer in this world is a stranger
12:03
Because heaven is his first home
12:06
His enemy drove him away from him and took him captive
12:09
He is provided with what reaches the highest level
12:13
Taking the initiative to do everything on time
12:18
Encouragement to seize opportunities for greater obedience
12:22
And don't slow down
12:25
Health and life are an opportunity for the believer
12:29
He must benefit from it by doing good deeds
12:33
He should not neglect it
12:36
He should not neglect them in what will not benefit him in the afterlife
12:43
On the authority of Abu Abbas
12:45
Sahl bin Saadan Al-Saadi, may God be pleased with him, said
12:49
A man came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and said
12:54
O Messenger of God
12:56
Show me a job that if I do it, God will love me
13:01
And people loved me
13:03
And he said
13:04
Renounce this world and God will love you
13:07
Renounce what people have and people will love you
13:12
Narrated by Ibn Majah
13:14
One of the benefits of talking
13:18
The Companions, may God be pleased with them, were keen to know what would bring them closer to God
13:23
It benefits people so that their lives can be straightened out with them
13:28
It is a matter of collecting the good of this world and the hereafter
13:32
Whoever deems himself in this world and looks forward to what God has
13:37
I long to meet him, may God love him
13:41
Because whoever loves meeting God, God loves meeting him
13:46
Not looking at what is in people's hands is a reason to love people
13:52
Therefore, all the messengers did not ask people for hire
13:57
On the authority of Al-Numan bin Bashir, may God be pleased with them both, he said:
14:04
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, mentioned what happened to people in this world
14:10
He said, “I saw the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, continuing to turn away today.”
14:18
Whatever he finds of the dhal he fills his stomach with
14:22

14:27
What happened to people, that is, what they possessed and obtained
14:32
From the world, that is, from money, prestige, and other things
14:37
The day continues to twist, that is, the day continues to sympathize with his honorable stomach from hunger
14:45
One of the benefits of talking
14:49
Friends and students should know the condition of their elders and scholars
14:55
They feel sad because of his condition and are happy because of his happiness
14:59
As were the companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
15:04
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, asceticized in this world
15:08
And his patience with hunger, preferring the hereafter to this world
15:13
And education for his companions
