    The Attributes That Place One In The Shade of Allah

    Hadith Thirteen

    The Prophet's ﷺ Description Of
    The Attributes That Place One In The Shade of Allah
    (swt)

    It is narrated from Abu Hurayra (ra): "I heard
    Allah's Messenger ﷺ say: `Seven shall be those
    whom Allah grants shade the day that there shall be no
    shade except His:

    - The equitable leader;
    - A young man who grew up worshipping Allah (swt);
    - A man whose heart is attached to the mosques;
    - Two men who loved one another for Allah's sake,
    meeting for that reason and parting for that reason;
    - A man who was invited by a woman of distinction and
    beauty but said to her: Verily I fear Allah (swt);
    - A man who gave in charity but kept it secret so that
    his left hand did not know what his right hand
    expended;
    - A man who remembered Allah in seclusion, whereupon
    his eyes wept.'"

    Narrated by the Two Shaykhs [Bukhari and Muslim] and
    others. The Prophet ﷺ mentioned in many of his
    hadiths a vast array of those whom Allah shall place
    in His shade. One of the scholars of hadith gathered
    those narrations in a monograph, and the reader can
    look them up there.
