Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

803. Hazrat ‘Amr bin Shuaib (R.A.A.) relates on the authority of his father and grandfather, that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: ‘Allah is pleased to see the effect of His blessing on His servant.’
(Imam Tirmizi has reported this tradition, which he says is authentic.)

Commentary: A simple dress is commendable if one wears it as a gesture of humility wining Allah's Pleasure. Yet, to zealously pursue the goal of goodness, to extend a helping hand to the indigent and the needy, to behave favourably towards one's relatives and to wear a fine dress as a manifestation of Allah's Favours are equally good acts of high merit. A fine dress is not impeachable in itself but it becomes so, if worn with an air of arrogance and self-importance. On the other hand, an expression of Divine bounty makes it praiseworthy. In other words, it is the intention which makes an act good or bad. Alongside the practice of the example of Messenger of Allah (PBUH), the sincerity of action and making right intention, therefore, become indispensable.
