476 - وعن خباب بن الأرت رضي الله عنه قال : هاجرنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم نلتمس وجه الله تعالى فوقع أجرنا على الله فمنا من مات لم يأكل من أجره شيئا منهم مصعب ابن عمير رضي الله عنه قتل يوم أحد وترك نمرة فكنا إذا غطينا بها رأسه بدت رجلاه وإذا غطينا بها رجليه بدا رأسه فأمرنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم أن نغطي رأسه ونجعل على رجليه شيئا من الإذخر ومنا من أينعت له ثمرته فهو يهدبها ] متفق عليه
[ النمرة ] كساء ملون من صوف
وقوله [ أينعت ] : أي نضجت وأدركت
وقوله [ يهدبها ] هو بفتح الياء وضم الدال وكسرها لغتان : أي يقطفها ويجتنيها . وهذه استعارة لما فتح عليهم من الدنيا وتمكنوا فيها
476. Al-Khabbab bin Al-Aratt (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We emigrated with Messenger of Allah (PBUH) seeking the pleasure of Allah and expecting our reward from Him. Some of us died without enjoying anything of it. Among them was Mus`ab bin `Umair (May Allah be pleased with him), who was killed in the battle of Uhud, leaving only a small coloured sheet of wool (which we used as his shroud). When we covered his head with it, his feet were exposed, and when we covered his feet with it, his head was uncovered. So the Prophet (PBUH) told us to cover his head and to put some Idhkhir (i.e., fragrant grass) over his feet. Others among us enjoy prosperity.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith tells us about the distinction of Hijrah (emigration) and Jihad and their reward. In this world this reward is given to those Mujahidun of Islam who gain victory and will also be given to them in Al-akhirah (Hereafter). As for those Mujahidun who get martyred on the battlefield, they will get all their rewards on the Day of Resurrection

477 - وعن سهل بن سعد الساعدي رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ لو كانت الدنيا تعدل عند الله جناح بعوضة ما سقى كافرا منها شربة ماء ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح
477. Sahl bin Sa`d (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Were this world worth a wing of mosquito, He would not have given a drink of water to an infidel.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: This Hadith makes it clear that the world and its wealth and riches has no significance to Allah. Thus, it should not have much significance to the believers. It should be considered a means to reform the Afterlife, or a place of trial.

478 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول : [ ألا إن الدنيا ملعونة ملعون ما فيها إلا ذكر الله تعالى وما والاه وعالما ومتعلما ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن
478. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Verily! The world is accursed and what it contains is accursed, except remembrance of Allah and those who associate themselves with Allah; and a learned man, and a learning person.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
1. This Hadith does not mean that this world is totally condemned. What it really means is that such things of this world are cursed which take a person away from Allah and make him careless about his obedience. Thus, anything of this world can be good and evil. For instance, worldly goods are auspicious if one acquires them through lawful means and spends them in a permissible manner, otherwise, they are condemnable. Similar is the case of other things of this world.
2. That knowledge is good which brings one closer to Allah and is a source of benefit for mankind, otherwise, it is also condemnable.
3. This Hadith also brings into prominence the distinction of men of learning, especially scholars of religious disciplines.

479 - وعن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ لا تتخذوا الضيعة فترغبوا في الدنيا ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن
479. `Abdullah bin Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Do not crave for property lest you should be absorbed in the desire of worldly life.''
[At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary: The word "Dai`ah'' translated here as "property'' means land, industry, agriculture or business. One should not be so engrossed in them to the extent that, they become the sole purpose of one's life and all one's efforts are exhausted to acquire them, thus forgetting all about the Hereafter. To the extent of one's genuine needs and self-sufficiency, making and maintaining of property, land, industry, agriculture and commerce come in permissible acts. None of them is forbidden provided the means employed for making and maintaining them are fair and do not distract one's attention from Allah and the Hereafter.

480 - وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنه قال : مر علينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم ونحن نعالج خصا لنا فقال : [ ما هذا ؟ ] فقلنا : قد وهي فنحن نصلحه . فقال : [ ما أرى الأمر إلا أعجل من ذلك ] رواه أبو داود والترمذي بإسناد البخاري ومسلم وقال الترمذي حديث حسن صحيح
480. `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`as (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: We were repairing our thatchy hut when Messenger of Allah (PBUH) passed by and asked us, "What are you doing?'' We said, "The thatch had gone weak and we are repairing it.'' He (PBUH) said, "I see the sure thing (death) approaching sooner than this.''
[Abu Dawud].
Commentary: The word "Khuss'' means a hut or a house which is made of wood and reed/bamboo and plastered with mud. The Hadith reminds us to be mindful of death at all times and be certain that there is nothing nearer to us than it. It also tells us that we should not engage in those worldly things which are bound to make us forget about our appointed term in this world

481 - وعن كعب بن عياض رضي الله عنه قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول : [ إن لكل أمة فتنة وفتنة أمتي المال ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح
481. Ka`b bin `Iyad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Verily, there is a Fitnah (trial) for every nation and the trial for my nation (or Ummah) is wealth.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: The word "Fitnah'' means trial. Anything with which a person is tried is a Fitnah for him. For this reason children and property have been regarded Fitnah for mankind in the Noble Qur'an. This Hadith strongly urges the Muslim Ummah to exercise moderation in their love for worldly goods and riches otherwise all these things, which are Gifts of Allah, can become a source of woeful torture for them.

482 - وعن أبي عمرو ويقال أبو عبد الله ويقال أبو ليلى عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ ليس لابن آدم حق في سوى هذه الخصال : بيت يسكنه وثوب يواري عورته وجلف الخبز والماء ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث صحيح
قال الترمذي : سمعت أبا داود سليمان بن أسلم البلخي يقول : سمعت النضر بن شميل يقول : الجلف : الخبز ليس معه إدام . وقال غيره : هو غليظ الخبز . وقال الهروي المراد به هنا : وعاء الخبز كالجوالق والخرج والله أعلم
482. `Uthman bin `Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "There is no right for the son of adam except in these (four) things: A house to live in, a cloth to cover therewith his private parts, bread and water.''
[At-Tirmidhi].

483 - وعن عبد الله بن الشخير - بكسر الشين والخاء المشددة المعجمتين - رضي الله عنه أنه قال : أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم وهو يقرأ : { ألهاكم التكاثر } ( التكاثر ) قال : [ يقول ابن آدم : مالي مالي وهل لك يا ابن آدم من مالك إلا ما أكلت فأفنيت أو لبست فأبليت أو تصدقت فأمضيت ؟ ] رواه مسلم
483. `Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I came to the Prophet (PBUH) while he was reciting (Surat At-Takathur 102):
"The mutual rivalry (for hoarding worldly things) preoccupy you. Until you visit the graves (i.e., till you die). Nay! You shall come to know! Again nay! You shall come to know! Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of hoarding, you would not have been occupied in worldly things). Verily, you shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)! And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight! Then (on that Day) you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!'' (102:1-Cool
(After reciting) he (PBUH) said, "Son of adam says: `My wealth, my wealth.' Do you own of your wealth other than what you eat and consume, and what you wear and wear out, or what you give in Sadaqah (charity) (to those who deserve it), and that what you will have in stock for yourself.''
[Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith enjoins that if a person is given wealth, he should spend it in the ways liked by Allah because it is this Sadaqah which will be a valuable treasure in the Afterlife. Whatever else he consumes in this world, will finish or rot in this world and will be of no avail in Hereafter.

484 - وعن عبد الله بن مغفل رضي الله عنه قال قال رجل للنبي صلى الله عليه و سلم : يا رسول الله والله إني لأحبك . فقال : [ انظر ماذا تقول ؟ ] قال : والله إني لأحبك ( ثلاث مرات ) فقال : [ إن كنت تحبني فأعد للفقر تجفافا فإن الفقر أسرع إلى من يحبني من السيل إلى منتهاه ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن
[ التجفاف ] بكسر التاء المثناة فوق وإسكان الجيم وبالفاء المكررة هو : شيء يلبسه الفرس ليتقى به الأذى وقد يلبسه الإنسان
484. `Abdullah bin Mughaffal (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I love you.'' He (PBUH) said, "Think about what you are saying.'' The man repeated thrice, "I swear by Allah that I love you.'' He (Prophet (PBUH)) said, "If you love me, you should be ready for acute poverty; because poverty comes to those who love me, faster than a flood flowing towards its destination.''
[At-Tirmidhi].

485 - وعن كعب بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ ما ذئبان جائعان أرسلا في غنم بأفسد لها من حرص المرء على المال والشرف لدينه ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح
485. K`ab bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Two hungry wolves sent in the midst of a flock of sheep are no more destructive to them than a man's greed for wealth and fame is to his Deen.''
[At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary: The havoc played by wealth, rank and position, which have been mentioned in this Hadith, can be seen everywhere today. Even some `Ulama' and self-proclaimed pious men have a craze for these things and they have not been able to save themselves from the ruin caused by it. May Allah save us from these evils. Greed for wealth and fame are doubtless detrimental to religion as preference of the life of the world over religion is explicit in such a trivial pursuit.

486 - وعن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال نام رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم على حصير فقام وقد أثر في جنبه . قلنا : يا رسول الله لو اتخذنا لك وطاء . فقال : [ ما لي وللدنيا ما أنا في الدنيا إلا كراكب استظل تحت شجرة ثم راح وتركها ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح
486. `Abdullah bin Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) slept on a straw mat and got up with the marks left by it on his body. Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Would that you make us spread out a soft bedding for you.'' He (PBUH) replied, "What have I to do with the world? I am like a rider who had sat under a tree for its shade, then went away and left it.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: Beside mentioning the piety of the Prophet (PBUH), this Hadith tells in a very eloquent manner the reality of this world by means of an example.

487 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ يدخل الفقراء الجنة قبل الأغنياء بخمسمائة عام ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح
487. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The poor will enter Jannah five hundred years before the rich.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: Al-Fuqara' (the poor) means those Fuqara' who are perfect in Faith. Such people will go to Jannah five hundered years before the rich because the latter will have to account for their wealth, from where they had got it and how they had spent it, while the former will not be answerable for any such thing.

488 - وعن ابن عباس وعمران بن الحصين رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ اطلعت في الجنة فرأيت أكثر أهلها الفقراء واطلعت في النار فرأيت أكثر أهلها النساء ] متفق عليه من رواية ابن عباس
ورواه البخاري أيضا من رواية عمران بن الحصين
488. Ibn `Abbas and `Imran bin Al-Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "I looked into Jannah and saw that most of its dwellers are the poor; and I looked into Hell and saw that most of its inmates were women.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: The Prophet (PBUH) had observed Jannah and Hell either on the eve of Mi`raj (Ascension to heavens), or of Salat-ul-Kusuf (Eclipse prayer) in which he (PBUH) was shown Jannah and Hell. A large majority of Fuqara' will go to Jannah. The rich people do not attach much importance to the requirements of faith and its practice.
The reason women are the majority in Hell is because they are given to taunts and curses and are ungrateful to their husbands. The Hadith urges women to try to overcome these serious defects in order to be saved from the Hell-fire.

489 - وعن أسامة بن زيد رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ قمت على باب الجنة فكان عامة من دخلها المساكين وأصحاب الجد محبوسون غير أن أصحاب النار قد أمر بهم إلى النار ] متفق عليه
و [ الجد ] : الحظ والغنى . وقد سبق بيان هذا الحديث في باب فضل الضعفة ( انظر الحديث رقم 258 )
489. Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "I stood at the gate of Jannah and saw that most of those who enter it were poor, whereas the rich were held back; but those who were destined to go to Hell were ordered to be sent there (immediately).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

490 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ أصدق كلمة قالها شاعر كلمة لبيد : ألا كل شيء ما خلا الله باطل ] متفق عليه
490. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The most truthful statement a poet has ever made is the saying of Labid: Everything besides Allah is vain.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
1. We learn from this Hadith that to compose, recite and quote good verses, as evidence, is permissible.
2. The Verse of Labid, quoted in this Hadith, is the asme effect as the verdict of the Noble Qur'an:
"Whatsoever is on (the earth) will perish." (55:26).
This Verse accepts the elernity of the Afterlife and the transitory nature of this world
