Chapter: Seeking Refuge from Miserliness
Sunan Nasai 5448 — Seeking Refuge from Miserliness
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنَ خَمْسٍ : مِنَ الْبُخْلِ ، وَالْجُبْنِ ، وَسُوءِ الْعُمُرِ ، وَفِتْنَةِ الصَّدْرِ ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ " .
´It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ud said:` "The Prophet [SAW] used to seek refuge (with Allah) from five things: From miserliness, cowardice, reaching the age of second childhood, the tribulation of the heart and the torment of the grave."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The apparent meaning is that by "the worst age" is meant the most contemptible age, as mentioned in the previous hadith. However, "the worst age" can also refer to an age of misguidance, whether it be the age of youth or old age.
