Muslim

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Fawafaw Salat al-Fajr:
They caught the dawn prayer (Salat al-Fajr),
they were present in it,
because under normal circumstances they would pray in the mosques of their own neighborhoods,
but for some collective need,
all of them would be present in your mosque.

(2)
Tanafasuha:
That is, tatanafasuha:
You will desire and covet it,
you will try to gather as much of it as possible.
You will try to surpass one another in it.

Benefits and Issues:
From this hadith it is understood that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not fear that the ummah would be afflicted with poverty and destitution,
rather, he feared more that abundant wealth would come,
which would increase worldly greed and the desire and longing for wealth,
people would become madly infatuated and obsessed with the world, forgetting the true purpose of life,
immersed in the luxuries and pleasures of the world,
they would fall prey to mutual envy and hatred, and by becoming engrossed in worldliness, they would be ruined and destroyed—and nowadays we are witnessing this with our own eyes.

Hadith Commentary:
SubhanAllah! What excellent advice was given to the Muslims.
All the wealth and states that were destroyed, it was due to mutual envy, jealousy, and disunity.
Even today, one can observe the Arab countries: the Jews are riding upon their chests, and they, by fighting amongst themselves, are becoming weak.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made a peace treaty with the people of Bahrain in the Hijri period.
At that time, the people of Bahrain were Magians (Zoroastrians).
➋
By "muwaada‘ah" is meant refraining from fighting.
Refraining from military action against the people of Bahrain and making peace with them on the condition of taking jizyah is muwaada‘ah.
There, Alaa bin Hadrami (radi Allahu anhu) was appointed as governor so that he could keep watch over their movements and activities.
➌
From this hadith, it is also understood that desire for the world can sometimes lead to destruction.
If one carefully examines all the losses suffered by Muslims at the national level, it becomes apparent that negative sentiments related to worldly greed are always at play there.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has identified this disease in this hadith and has also prescribed its remedy.
Regrettably, even today, one can observe in the Arab countries that the Jews are riding upon their chests, and they are competing with one another in pursuit of the world, and by fighting among themselves, they are becoming weak.
Wa Allahu al-musta‘an.

Hadith Commentary:

Exactly this happened in later times: Muslims, entangled in the love of worldly life, became heedless of Islam and concern for the Hereafter. As a result, irreligiousness emerged, and they began to fight among themselves, the consequence of which is this decline that has today encompassed the world of Islam.

Hadith Commentary:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had before him the experience of previous nations and communities: when worldly abundance came to them, their greed for the world and desire for wealth increased even more. Then they became obsessed and infatuated with the world, forgetting the true purpose of life. As a result, mutual envy and hatred also arose among them, and ultimately, worldliness destroyed and ruined them.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also had this kind of concern regarding his own ummah, which is why he warned of this danger and said:
"I do not fear the onslaught of poverty and destitution upon you as much; rather, on the contrary, I fear and dread more that you will be destroyed by becoming engrossed in worldliness."

The intent of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is to alert the ummah to the danger of this attractive trial.

Subsequent events made it clear that the prophecy of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was fulfilled word for word, and Muslims, becoming entangled in the love of the world, became heedless of Islam and concern for the Hereafter. As a result, irreligion and decline have surrounded the world of Islam.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) rightly said:
"If the son of Adam had two valleys full of treasures, he would set out in search of a third valley. Nothing will fill the belly of the son of Adam except the dust of the grave. Allah, the Exalted, shows mercy to the one who turns his face towards Him."
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Riqaq, Hadith: 6436)

Hadith Commentary:
This hadith has already been mentioned in the chapter on Jizyah.
Here, it is only to be clarified that ‘Amr ibn ‘Awf (radi Allahu anhu) was a participant in the Battle of Badr.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
This hadith mentions that Hazrat Amr ibn Awf (radi Allahu anhu) participated in the Battle of Badr alongside the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
He also took part in the battles of Uhud, Khandaq, and other expeditions.
He passed away during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu), and it was Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu) himself who led his funeral prayer.

➋
Bahrain is the name of a place situated between Basrah and Oman.
A treaty was made with its inhabitants on the condition of paying jizyah (tribute).
The governor there was Hazrat Alaa ibn Hadrami (radi Allahu anhu). After his demise, Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu) appointed Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) as the ruler there.

➌
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave a very valuable piece of advice: poverty and hardship are not as harmful as the abundance of wealth and riches, because in poverty, one remembers Allah, whereas in the intoxication of wealth, Allah is forgotten.

Explanation:
1:
From this hadith, it is understood that abundance of wealth and means is, from a religious perspective, far more dangerous than poverty and hardship.
This is precisely why the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) warned his ummah about this trial,
so that people may protect themselves from its dangerous consequences.
But alas, a thousand times alas, it is this very abundance of wealth and means that has made the majority of people heedless of religion.
And today, that very thing is before us which the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) feared.
Although, by accumulating wealth, a person is never satisfied; rather, with the increase of wealth, his hunger for wealth only grows, until only the soil of the grave can fill his belly.

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
Wealth is a trial.
Because of greed for it, oppression and sin are committed.

(2)
If wealth is acquired through lawful (halal) means and one is content with it, then it is not bad.
