111. Seven Blessed People

عن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمْ الله في ظِلِّهِ يوم لَا ظِلَّ إلا ظِلُّهُ الْإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ وَشَابٌّ نَشَأَ بِعِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ وَرَجُلٌ قَلْبُهُ مُعَلَّقٌ في الْمَسَاجِدِ وَرَجُلَانِ تَحَابَّا في اللَّهِ اجْتَمَعَا عليه وَتَفَرَّقَا عليه وَرَجُلٌ دَعَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ فقال إني أَخَافُ اللَّهَ وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَخْفَاهَا حتى لَا تَعْلَمَ يَمِينُهُ ما تُنْفِقُ شِمَالُهُ وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ

Abu Hurayrah (rta) reported that the Prophet (sws) said: “God will provide shade to seven people on the day when none can provide shade except He. [They are:] a just ruler, a young person who grew up while worshipping God, a person whose heart always remained in the mosque, two individuals who loved one another for God so much so that they stayed together because of it and left one another because of it, a person who was tempted by a lady of status and beauty and he [on the contrary replied:] ‘I fear God,’ a person who gave in charity secretly such that his right hand did not know what the left had spent and a person who remembered God when he was alone and his eyes become watery.”[1]
