اُردوEn
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:
➊
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.
➋
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.
➌
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.
➍
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.
