II Hadith of the Day

 

Two Enviable Persons

 

عَبْدَ اللّٰہِ بِنْ مَسْعُودٍ يقول قال رَسُوْلَ اللّٰہِ صَلَّي اللّٰہُ عَلَیۡہِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا حَسَدَ إلا في اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللّٰہ مَالًا فَسَلَّطَهُ علي هَلَكَتِهِ في الْحَقِّ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللّٰہ حِكْمَةً فَهُوَ يَقْضِي بها وَيُعَلِّمُهَا

 

‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (rta) says that God’s Messenger (sws) said: “Only two people are worthy of envy: a person whom God has given wealth and he went about spending it for the cause of the truth and a person whom God blessed with wisdom and he decided [the affairs of people] through it and taught it [to them].”[1]

Justice

 

Be upright in judging the cause of the man from a strange country and of him who has no father; do not take a widow’s clothing on account of a debt: But keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: for this is why I give you orders to do this. (24:17)
