Hadith 537

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: There are seven types of people whom Allah Almighty will grant shade (i.e., under the Throne) on the Day when there will be no shade except His shade. First, a just ruler (who judges according to the Book and Sunnah, whether he is a king or a governor); second, a youth who grows up in the worship of Allah; third, a person whose heart remains attached to the mosque; fourth, two people who love each other for the sake of Allah, meet for His sake and part for His sake; fifth, a man (such a pious man) whom a woman of noble lineage and wealth invites to commit adultery, and he says, "I fear Allah" (and refrains from adultery); sixth, a person who gives charity so secretly that his right hand does not know what his left hand has spent (there is some variation in this wording; the correct version is that the left hand does not know what the right hand has spent); seventh, a person who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes overflow with tears (due to love or fear of Allah).
