Hadith 9311
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ حَدَّثَنِي أَحَدُ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَلَا أَحْسَبُهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَبْتَلِي عَبْدَهُ بِمَا أَعْطَاهُ فَمَنْ رَضِيَ بِمَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فِيهِ وَوَسَّعَهُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ لَمْ يُبَارِكْ لَهُ
Abu Al-Ala says: A man from Banu Sulaym narrated to me—I believe he had seen the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him—in any case, he said: Allah Almighty tests His servant with that which He grants him. So whoever is content with Allah’s distribution, Allah blesses his provision and grants him further abundance. And whoever is not content with this distribution, no blessing is placed in his provision.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … If, due to poverty and deprivation, matters of righteousness and uprightness are not affected, then such poverty will be beneficial for the reckoning in the Hereafter.
