Hadith 797
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا كُلْثُومٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يَخْذُلُهُ)) ، ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ: ((التَّقْوَى هَاهُنَا)).
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "The strong one is not the one who overcomes people, the strong one is the one who controls himself."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abdush Shakoor Tirmidhi
Benefits:
➊ ... It is understood that no Muslim should oppress another Muslim, nor should he allow an oppressor to oppress him, because the outcome of oppression is evil. As mentioned in the hadith: ((Oppression will be darknesses on the Day of Resurrection)) (Bukhari, no. 2447).... "Due to oppression, there will be nothing but darkness on the Day of Resurrection."
And the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: "Whoever has wronged his brother in any way, let him seek forgiveness from him, for there will be no dinar or dirham there. Before his good deeds are taken for his brother, and if he has no good deeds, then his brother's bad deeds will be taken and cast upon him." (Bukhari, no. 2449, 6534)
➋ ... In another hadith, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
((Indeed, Allah does not look at your bodies, nor at your forms, nor at your wealth, but rather He looks at your hearts"—and he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam pointed with his fingers to his chest—"and your deeds.)) (Muslim, no. 2564; Silsilah al-Sahihah, no. 2656)
"Indeed, Allah the Exalted does not look at your bodies, your appearances, or your wealth; rather, He only looks at your hearts and your deeds." And he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam pointed with his finger towards his chest.
Beauty or lack thereof, having wealth or not, is not within a servant's control. Rather, Allah Dhu’l-Jalal gives to whomever He wills; what truly matters is the purity of the heart and righteous deeds. In the Noble Qur’an, Allah Dhu’l-Jalal has stated: ﴿Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.﴾ ()
If the heart is not pure, a person cannot be pure.
Iblis also knew well the obligations of ablution (wudu).
