أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَرَآنِي رَثَّ الثِّيَابِ , فَقَالَ : " أَلَكَ مَالٌ ؟ " , قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ ، قَالَ : " فَإِذَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَلْيُرَ أَثَرُهُ عَلَيْكَ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Al-Ahwas that his father said:` "I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he saw that I was dressed in scruffy clothes. He said: 'Do you have any wealth?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, all kinds of wealth.' He said: 'If Allah gives you wealth then let its effect be seen on you.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) This hadith and the following hadith have no direct connection with the preceding chapter, but they are related to the Book of Adornment (Kitab al-Zinah).
(2) "The effects should be visible"—that is, one should live according to one's status. This is also a way of expressing gratitude to Allah Ta'ala. Furthermore, if a wealthy person lives according to his status, it will be easier for those who ask (the needy), otherwise people will consider him deserving and present him with zakat, which would be a cause of embarrassment for him. However, by wearing good clothes, one should not consider anyone inferior.
