Explanation of the words of Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding what he quoted: "

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said, regarding what he quoted from Harithah ibn Wahb (may Allah be pleased with him) in: "The Chapter on the Weak and Humble of the Muslims": that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This means that this is one of the signs of the people of Paradise: that a person is weak and humbles himself, meaning he does not care about his position or his prestige, nor does he strive for high status in this world. Rather, he is weak in himself and humbles himself, inclining toward obscurity and not appearing, because he sees that what matters is having prestige with Allah (Mighty and Majestic), not being noble among his people or having greatness among them. But he sees that the most important thing of all is to have a high, exalted rank with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
Therefore, you will find that the people of the Hereafter do not care about what they miss from this world. If something from this world comes to them, they accept it, and if they miss something, they do not care about it, because they see that what Allah willed happened, and what He did not will did not happen, and that affairs are in the hand of Allah, and that changing the state is impossible, and that it is not possible to raise what has occurred or avert what has been decreed except through the lawful means that Allah the Exalted has made a cause. As for the people of the Fire, He said, "Shall I inform you?" Yes.
And His saying: This often happens: a person swears to something in trust in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and in hope of His reward, and Allah fulfills his oath. As for the one who swears by Allah in arrogance and hardness toward His mercy, then this person is abandoned, and I seek refuge in Allah.
Here are two examples:
The first example: أنَّ الرُّبيع بنت النضر رضي الله عنها وهي من الأنصار، كسرت ثنيةَ جارية من الأنصار، فرفعوا الأمر إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فأمر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن تكسر ثنية الرُّبيع ، لقول الله تعالى: وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْس إلى قوله : وَالسِّنَّ بِالسِّنّ فقال أخوها أنس بن النضر: والله يا رسول الله لا تكسر ثنية الرُّبيع، فقال يا أنس كتاب الله القصاص ، فقال: والله لا تكسر ثنية الربيع That al-Rubayyih bint al-Nuḍr (may Allah be pleased with her), who was from the Ansar, broke the front tooth of a girl from the Ansar, so they brought the matter to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that al-Rubayyih's front tooth be broken, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And We wrote for them therein that the soul is [to be punished] in exchange for the soul" up to His saying: "and the tooth for the tooth." Then her brother Anas ibn al-Nuḍr said: "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, do not break al-Rubayyih's front tooth." He said: "O Anas, the Book of Allah is retaliation." He said: "By Allah, do not break al-Rubayyih's front tooth.".
He swore this not as a rejection of the ruling of Allah and His Messenger, but he tried as much as he could to speak with her people so that they would pardon and take the blood money, or pardon her for free. It was as if he was confident that he would do what he could, not as a rejection of the ruling of Allah and His Messenger. So Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) made it easy, and her people pardoned her, .
And there is no doubt that what motivated Anas ibn al-Nuḍr was the strength of his hope in Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and that Allah would make easy the means that would prevent the breaking of his sister al-Rubayyih's front tooth.
As for the second: the one who swore by Allah in arrogance, self-importance, and pride, then Allah frustrates his hopes. An example of that is: . What motivated him to do that was his self-admiration, his hardness toward the favor and mercy of Allah, and his deeming it unlikely that the mercy of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) would reach His servants.
, so look at the difference between this and that.
So the saying of the Messenger (may the prayer and peace be upon him): , is for partiality, , and that is for the one who swore by Allah in trust in Him and in hope of what is with Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
Then he (may the prayer and peace be upon him) said: : these are the signs of the people of the Fire.
: meaning that he is harsh and rough, his heart is a stone, and I seek refuge in Allah, like stones or even harder in severity.
: There are multiple interpretations of al-Jawwaz. It was said that it is the one who hoards and withholds, meaning the one who gathers wealth and withholds what is obligatory in it. And the apparent meaning of al-Jawwaz is: the man who does not have patience; jawwaz means that he is impatient and does not endure anything, and he sees that he is at the peak, above being touched by anything.
And from that is the story of: , so look at this man who became impatient, was unable to bear it, and killed himself.
So al-Jawwaz is the impatient one who does not have patience, always in moaning, sadness, worry, and grief, objecting to the divine decree and destiny, not submitting to it, and not being pleased with Allah as Lord.
And as for al-Mustakbir, he is the one who combined two descriptions: belittling people, and arrogance toward the truth. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: . Arrogance toward the truth means rejecting it, and belittling people means looking down on them. So he is, in his own self, above the truth and above creation; he does not soften toward the truth nor show mercy to creation, and I seek refuge in Allah.
So these are the signs of the people of the Fire. We ask Allah to protect us and you from the Fire, and to admit us and you into Paradise. Indeed, He is Generous and Noble.
