Hadith 1031
حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى جميعا ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانِ ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي خُبَيْبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ : الْإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ ، وَشَابٌّ نَشَأَ بِعِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ ، وَرَجُلٌ قَلْبُهُ مُعَلَّقٌ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ ، وَرَجُلَانِ تَحَابَّا فِي اللَّهِ اجْتَمَعَا عَلَيْهِ وَتَفَرَّقَا عَلَيْهِ ، وَرَجُلٌ دَعَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ ، وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَخْفَاهَا حَتَّى لَا تَعْلَمَ يَمِينُهُ مَا تُنْفِقُ شِمَالُهُ ، وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ " ،
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) had said: Seven are (the persons) whom Allah would give protection with His Shade on the Day when there would be no shade but that of Him (i. e. on the Day of Judgment) and they are: a just ruler, a youth who grew up with the worship of Allah; a person whose heart is attached to the mosques; two persons who love and meet each other and depart from each other for the sake of Allah; a man whom a beautiful woman of high rank seduces (for illicit relation), but he (rejects this offer by saying): "I fear Allah"; a person who gives charity and conceals it (to such an extent) that the right hand does not know what the left has given: and a person who remembered Allah in privacy and his eyes shed tears.

وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَقَالَ : " وَرَجُلٌ مُعَلَّقٌ بِالْمَسْجِدِ ، إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَعُودَ إِلَيْهِ " .
This hadith has been narrated, on the authority, of Abu Hurairah (RA) (with this change of words). "A person whose heart is attached to the mosque when he goes out of it till he returns to it."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The purpose of this hadith is to instruct and encourage all acts of goodness, and by "imam" is meant a person in a position of authority, who, by virtue of his office, can benefit or harm others. Although there are differences in ranks and levels, each will receive shade according to his position. The attribution of "shade" to Allah is solely for the purpose of honor and exaltation, just as in the phrases "Bayt Allah" (the House of Allah) and "Naqat Allah" (the She-camel of Allah). The real intent is the shade of Allah’s Throne, as is explicitly mentioned in some narrations.
