The Shaykh : The first hadith in this chapter is an authentic hadith, and it is the statement of 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 سبعة يظلهم الله في ظله يوم لا ظل إلا ظله ...
Muwatta Malik 51:14
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" ... ورجل دعته امرأة ذات منصب وجمال فقال إني أخاف الله
Sahih Muslim 1031a
Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and it was previously presented in full.
This hadith is well known for its authenticity and is recorded in the two Sahihs. It was previously presented to 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 ... ورجل تصدّق بيمينه فأخفاها ...
etc. There, the author presented this hadith in full, and now he has quoted from it this phrase which he uses as the title for this chapter that we mentioned. That is because among those seven is
and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears رجل ذكر الله خاليا ففاضت عيناه
Sahih al-Bukhari 660
and also a man
a man whom a beautiful woman of high rank seduces (for illicit relation), but he (rejects this offer by saying):" I fear Allah" ورجل دعته امرأة ذات منصب و جمال فقال إني أخاف الله
Sahih Muslim 1031a
and the one who remembered Allah in seclusion and his eyes overflowed with tears; he only wept out of fear of Allah. And this man to whom the beautiful woman of high status proposed, when she proposed to him, said:
I fear Allah. إني أخاف الله
So his fear of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, protected him, and the fear of that other man 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 will shade under the shade of His Throne on a day when there is no shade except His Shade.
