Hadith 4143

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ , حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ , حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ , حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ , وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِكُمْ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Hurairah, who attributed it to the Prophet (ﷺ), said:` “Allah does not look at your forms or your wealth, rather He looks at your deeds and your hearts.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:


Being beautiful or unattractive is not in a person's own hands; rather, it is according to the will (mashiyyah) of Allah.
One should strive to perform good deeds so that Allah Ta'ala may be pleased.


In the sight of Allah, the wealthy and the destitute are equal.
A wealthy person cannot be granted forgiveness merely due to his wealth, and a poor person cannot be deemed a criminal solely because of his poverty.


Being wealthy is also a test from Allah, and being poor is a different kind of test.
If a wealthy person is grateful (shukr), he is beloved to Allah.
Similarly, if a poor person is patient (sabr), he is beloved to Allah; but if he is impatient and seeks unlawful (haram) earnings, he is deprived of nearness to Allah.


If a person does not have the ability to perform good deeds, he should at least have the intention and desire for them; even for such an intention, reward is granted.
