*THE PROPHET ﷺ SWEAR BY ALLĀH ON THREE QUALITIES*
Abu Kabshah 'Amr bin Sa'd (May ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said, *“I swear by ALLĀH for three (qualities) which I am going to tell you about. Remember them well:*
*1. The wealth of a man will not diminish by Sadaqah (charity).*
*2. A servant is not wronged by oppression and he endures it patiently but that ALLĀH increases him in honor.*
*3. HE who opens a gate of begging, ALLĀH opens a gate of poverty (or he said a word similar to it).”*
He ﷺ also said, *“Remember well what I am going to tell you: The world is for four kinds of people.*
*1. One upon whom ALLĀH has bestowed wealth and knowledge and so he fears his Lord in respect to them, joins the ties of blood relationship and acknowledges the Rights of ALLĀH on him (and fulfills them); this type will have the best position (in Jannah).*
*2. One upon whom ALLĀH has conferred knowledge but no wealth, and he is sincere in his intention and says: 'Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so.' If that is his intention, his reward is the same as that of the other.*
*3. One whom ALLĀH has given wealth but no knowledge and he squanders his wealth ignorantly, does not fear ALLĀH in respect to it, does not discharge the obligations of kinship and does not acknowledge the Rights of ALLĀH. Such a person will be in the worst position (in the Hereafter).*
*4. One upon whom ALLĀH has bestowed neither wealth nor knowledge and he says: 'Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so (i.e., he would squander his wealth).' If this is his intention, both will have equal sin.”* *_{At-Tirmidhi}_*
*_{Riyadh us-Saliheen: Book 1, Chapter 60, Hadith 557}_*
*COMMENTARY:*
This Hadith highlights the following points:
1. Those who forgive people and pardon them will be granted honour and elevation both in this life and in the Hereafter.
2. Those who have sufficient means to live on and still beg of people out of greed, will be afflicted with poverty.
3. The Hadith also urges us to acquire religious knowledge, and also the practise of this knowledge along with the intention to please ALLĀH Alone.
4. The Hadith also criticizes ignorance of religious teachings and ignorant people, for ignorance can easily lead one to commit forbidden acts.

Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:
“When we are given something by Allāh, it is a trust that we are entrusted with, and we are responsible for how we use and manage it. If something is taken away from us by Allāh, it is a reminder that we do not truly own anything in this world, and we should not become attached to it. Therefore, instead of feeling anger or resentment when something is taken away, one should accept it as Allāh's Will and trust in His wisdom and plan.”

Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Do not resent the calamities that come and the disasters that occur, for perhaps in something that you dislike will be your salvation, and perhaps in something that you prefer will be your doom.”
Al-Fadl ibn Sahl said: “There is a blessing in calamity that the wise man should not ignore, for it erases sins, gives one the opportunity to attain the reward for patience, dispels negligence, reminds one of blessings at the time of health, calls one to repent and encourages one to give charity.
Through calamity the believer seeks reward, and there is no way to attain it but through patience, and there is no way to be patient except with resolute faith and strong will.
Remember the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for his affairs are all good, and this applies to no one but the believer. If something good happens to him, he is thankful for it and that is good for him. If something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience and that is good for him.” (Narrated by Muslim, 2999).

The billionaire replied, "Wait for me. I will enter my house now and bring you one. ' The poor man got so happy and said he will wait for him.The billionaire entered his house and got busy there and forgot the poor man. In the morning he remembered that poor old man and he went out to search for him but he found him dead because of cold, but he left a NOTE, "When I didn't have any warm clothes, I had the power to fight the cold because I was used to that. But when you promised me to help me, I got attached to your promise and that took my power of resisting.
MORAL: Don't promise anything if you can't keep your promise. It might not mean anything to you, But it could mean everything to someone else.

Those who are in its lower (deck), when they require water, go to the occupants of the upper deck, and say to them :
The hadith compares a community of Muslims to passengers on a ship, which is divided into an upper and a lower deck. The people on the lower deck, when they need water, propose to bore a hole in the bottom of the ship to access water directly, not realizing that this action would cause the ship to sink and harm everyone on board.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝:
1. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: The ship represents the Muslim community (Ummah). Just like the safety of everyone on the ship depends on each individual's actions, the well-being of a community depends on the behavior and choices of its members.
2. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐢𝐧: The act of drilling a hole in the ship symbolizes sinful or harmful actions. The hadith illustrates how the sins of a few can have consequences for the entire community. It emphasizes that preventing sin is not just an individual responsibility but a collective one.
3. 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Those on the upper deck (who can be seen as the leaders or more knowledgeable members of the community) have a responsibility to prevent those below from making harmful decisions, not just for the latter's safety but for the entire community's welfare.
4. 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: The story also highlights the importance of wisdom and foresight in decision-making. Actions should be evaluated not just on immediate benefits but on their overall impact on the community.
Overall, the hadith teaches that in a community, everyone is responsible for each other. Allowing sinful actions to go unchecked can lead to the downfall of the whole community, just as everyone on the ship would drown if the lower-deck passengers were allowed to bore a hole.
It underscores the importance of collective responsibility in preventing harm and maintaining the well-being of the community.
man bin Bashir (RA):
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
Reported by Numan bin Bashir (RA): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The likeness of the man who observes the limits prescribed by Allah and that of the man who transgresses them is like the people who get on board a ship after casting lots. Some of them are in its lower deck and some of them in its upper (deck). Those who are in its lower (deck), when they require water, go to the occupants of the upper deck, and say to them :
If we make a hole in the bottom of the ship, we shall not harm you.' If they (the occupants of the upper deck) leave them to carry out their design they all will be drowned. But if they do not let them go ahead (with their plan), all of them will remain safe".[Al-Bukhari
This hadith, reported by Numan bin Bashir and recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari, uses a metaphorical story to illustrate an important Islamic principle regarding communal responsibility and the consequences of sin.The hadith compares a community of Muslims to passengers on a ship, which is divided into an upper and a lower deck. The people on the lower deck, when they need water, propose to bore a hole in the bottom of the ship to access water directly, not realizing that this action would cause the ship to sink and harm everyone on board.

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying "From among my followers, a group of 70,000 will enter Paradise without being asked for their accounts, Their faces will be shining like the moon." 'Ukasha bin Muhsin Al-Asadi got up, lifting his covering sheet and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Invoke Allah for me that He may include me with them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said! "O Allah! Make him from them." Then another man from Al-Ansar got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah for me that He may include me with them." On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "'Ukasha has anticipated you."
