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.
