A4: Hadith (a): It was narrated by Ibn Majah , from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab , from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the wording:
Allah loves His believing slave who is poor, does not beg and has many children.إن الله يحب عبده المؤمن الفقير المتعفف أبا العيال
Sunan Ibn Majah 4121Da’if (Darussalam)
. In its chain is Hammad ibn 'Isa al-Juhani , and al-Dhahabi said: They considered him weak. And Musa ibn 'A'id al-Rundi , and it is said in [al-Kashshaf]: They considered him weak. And in [al-Du'afa'] from Ahmad : It is not permissible to narrate from him. And in its chain is also al-Qasim ibn Mahrān who did not hear from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab , and al-Hafiz al-'Iraqi said: Its chain is weak. And al-Sakhawi said: But it has corroborating narrations, and al-Suyuti indicated it in his book [al-Jami' al-Saghir] with the symbols of goodness.
And hadith (b): It was narrated by al-Bazzar from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
A servant does not truly believe until his neighbor is safe from his harm, and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent. Indeed, Allah loves the modest, the forbearing, the self-restrained, and He hates the vulgar, the wicked, the one who asks persistentlyلا يؤمن عبد حتى يأمن جاره بوائقه، ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيرًا أو ليصمت، إن الله يحب الحيِيّ الحليم المتعفف ويبغض البذيء الفاجر السائل المُلِحَّ
, and al-Haythami said in [Majma' al-Zawa'id] after mentioning it: It contains Muhammad ibn Kathir who is very weak, and he mentioned the narration of al-Tabarani from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), then he said: It contains Suwar ibn Mus'ab who is abandoned. End of quote. But the first sentence and the second sentence are established in the two Sahihs. Hadith (c): It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim and Abu Dawud and al-Nasa'i and al-Tirmidhi , from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) as marfu' in the wording:
Wealth is not in the abundance of goods, rather wealth is the wealth of the soulليس الغنى عن كثرة العرض، إنما الغنى غنى النفس
Sahih Ibn Hibban 7:73
. Hadith (d): It was narrated by Ibn al-Jawzi in [al-'Ilal] from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) as marfu', and he said: It is not authentic. And it was narrated by al-Tabarani in his Mu'jams from Anas as marfu' in the wording:
When a man marries he has fulfilled half of the religion; so let him fear God regarding the remaining half.من تزوج فقد استكمل نصف الإِيمان فليتق الله في النصف الباقي
Mishkat al-Masabih 3096
, and al-Hafiz al-'Iraqi said: Its chain is weak. And it was narrated by al-Hakim in [al-Mustadrak] from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) as marfu' in the wording:
Whoever Allah has blessed with a righteous wife, Allah has helped him with half of his religion, so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining halfمن رزقه الله امرأة صالحة فقد أعانه الله على شطر دينه فليتق الله في الشطر الباقي
, and al-Suyuti indicated it in [al-Jami' al-Saghir] with the symbol of authenticity.
Hadith (e): It was narrated by al-Tabarani with his chain from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Indeed, the glance is an arrow from the arrows of Satan, poisoned. Whoever leaves it after my fear, I will replace it with faith whose sweetness he will find in his heartإن النظرة سهم من سهام إبليس مسموم، من تركها بعد مخافتي أبدلته إيمانًا يجد حلاوته في قلبه
. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
