Explanation of the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): (And a man whom a woman of high status and beauty invited, and he said: I fear Allah).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The first hadith in this chapter is authentic. It is his statement regarding Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
There are seven whom Allah will shade in His shade on the day on which there is no shade except His shade سبعةٌ يظِلُّهم اللهُ في ظِلِّهِ يومَ لا ظِلَّ إلا ظِلُّه
Muwatta Malik 51:14
, and he mentioned them until he said:
a man whom a beautiful woman of high rank seduces (for illicit relation), but he (rejects this offer by saying):" I fear Allah" ورجلٌ دَعَتْهُ امرأَةٌ ذاتَ مَنصِبٍ وجمالٍ فقالَ : إنِّي أخافُ الله
Sahih Muslim 1031a
. It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and it was presented in full previously.
This hadith is well known for its authenticity and is recorded in "the two Sahihs." It was previously discussed with us in one or more places in the Book of Zakah, because it contains the phrase:
And a man who gave charity with his right hand and concealed it ورجلٌ تصدَّق بيمينِه فأخفَاها
to the end. There, the author presented this hadith in full, and now he has quoted this phrase to serve as the heading for the chapter we mentioned. That is because among those seven are:
and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears رجلٌ ذَكَرَ الله خاليًا ففاضَتْ عيناهُ
Sahih al-Bukhari 660
,
And *rajulun*... ورجلٌ
- also -
a man whom a beautiful woman of high rank seduces (for illicit relation), but he (rejects this offer by saying):" I fear Allah" دَعَتْهُ امرأَةٌ ذاتَ مَنصِبٍ وجمالٍ فقالَ : إنِّي أخافُ الله
Sahih Muslim 1031a
. And that one who remembered Allah in seclusion and his eyes overflowed only wept out of fear of Allah. And this man, when the beautiful woman of high status invited him, said:
I fear Allah إنِّي أخافُ الله
. So his fear of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) protected him, and the fear of that other one of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) when he remembered Him and wept out of awe of Him made each of them one of those seven whom Allah shades under the shade of His Throne on the Day when there is no shade except His.
