The Shari`ah comprehensively organizes all aspects of human affairs, thereby promoting welfare among people. It permits the consumption of permissible and good items (Tayyibat) while explicitly prohibiting that which is evil and wrong (Khaba’ith). The Shari`ah allows people to enjoy life’s lawful pleasures, provided they do not engage in extravagance or neglect the rights of Allah and the rights of others.In this Hadith, `Abdullah ibn `Amr ibn Al-`As (may Allah be pleased with him), reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stated: “Eat, drink, give in charity, and wear [what you like],” meaning: do all of this from your wealth, and there is no harm upon you in what Allah the Exalted has made lawful, as clarified by the Sunnah — “so long as it is not accompanied by extravagance,” meaning: excess and going beyond limits — “or arrogance,” which refers to pride, self-importance, or being impressed with one’s actions or self.This Hadith is in agreement with the meaning of the Statement of Allah (interpretation of the meaning): {And eat and drink, but do not be extravagant; indeed, He does not love the extravagant} [Al-A`raf 7:31], and His statement (interpretation of the meaning): {And those who, when they spend, are neither wasteful nor stingy, but are moderate between the two} [Al-Furqan 25: 67].The Hadith also encompasses the virtues of self-management and wise personal conduct. It guides a person to balance the needs of the body and soul — in both worldly and spiritual matters.Indeed, extravagance in any matter harms the body and negatively affects one’s livelihood — leading to waste and ruin. It also harms the soul, since the soul often follows the body in most situations. As for arrogance, it harms the soul by instilling vanity, it harms the Hereafter by earning sin, and it harms one's worldly life by bringing about the resentment of people.This Hadith illustrates the breadth and ease of Islam in what it permits — without excess that brings harm to one’s wealth, self, or well-being in this world or the next. It also encourages self-discipline and the control of one’s desires..
