Riyad as-Salihin, 658

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Seven are (the persons) whom Allah will give protection with His Shade* on the Day when there will be no shade except His Shade (i.e., on the Day of Resurrection), and they are: A just ruler; a youth who grew up with the worship of Allah; a person whose heart is attached to the mosque; two persons who love and meet each other and depart from each other for the sake of Allah; a man whom a beautiful and high ranking woman seduces (for illicit relation), but he (rejects this offer by saying): 'I fear Allah'; a person who gives a charity and conceals it (to such an extent) that the left hand might not know what the right has given; and a person who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes well up." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>. * The Shade of Allah to which this Hadith refers to is the shade of His Throne.

وعن أبى هريرة رضي الله عنه، عن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ “سبعة يظلهم الله في ظله يوم لا ظل إلا ظله‏:‏ إمام عادل، وشاب نشأ في عبادة الله تعالى، ورجل قلبه معلق بالمساجد، ورجلان تحابا في الله اجتمعا عليه وتفرقا عليه، ورجل دعته امرأة ذات منصب وجمال، فقال‏:‏ إنى أخاف الله، ورجل تصدق بصدقة فأخفاها حتى لا تعلم شماله ما تنفق يمينه، ورجل ذكر الله خالياً ففاضت عيناه” ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) The best form of justice is to rule in the land according to the Shariah of Allah.<br> 2) It points out the high standing of the just ruler; that is why he is mentioned first in the Hadith.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> The shade of Allah is actually the shade of His Throne, based on another version of the Hadith that says: “Seven people Allah will give them the shade of His Throne...” [Narrated by Ahmad] The Prophet’s Hadiths complete one another. Something may be briefly mentioned in one Hadith and explained in another.
