اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ وَقَبِيصَةُ قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ خَمِيلٍ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”مِنْ سَعَادَةِ الْمَرْءِ الْمَسْكَنُ الْوَاسِعُ، وَالْجَارُ الصَّالِحُ، وَالْمَرْكَبُ الْهَنِيءُ.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Nafi' bin 'Abd al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A spacious house, a righteous neighbor, and a comfortable mount are part of a person's happiness."
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
➊ In one narration, a righteous and good wife is also considered a sign of good fortune, and the negative aspect of these four things is described as a sign of misfortune. (Al-Sahihah by Al-Albani, Hadith: 282)
➋ Imam Bukhari rahimahullah intends to clarify that building a spacious house to live in does not fall under the category mentioned in the previous ahadith, because those refer to spending money on unnecessary constructions, whereas here it is for necessity. For further details, see the benefits of number 116.
