    The Attributes That Place One In The Shade of Allah

    Hadith Thirteen

    The Prophet's MHMD Description Of
    The Attributes That Place One In The Shade of Allah
    (swt)

    It is narrated from Abu Hurayra (ra): "I heard
    Allah's Messenger MHMD say: `Seven shall be those
    whom Allah grants shade the day that there shall be no
    shade except His:

    - The equitable leader;
    - A young man who grew up worshipping Allah (swt);
    - A man whose heart is attached to the mosques;
    - Two men who loved one another for Allah's sake,
    meeting for that reason and parting for that reason;
    - A man who was invited by a woman of distinction and
    beauty but said to her: Verily I fear Allah (swt);
    - A man who gave in charity but kept it secret so that
    his left hand did not know what his right hand
    expended;
    - A man who remembered Allah in seclusion, whereupon
    his eyes wept.'"

    Narrated by the Two Shaykhs [Bukhari and Muslim] and
    others. The Prophet MHMD mentioned in many of his
    hadiths a vast array of those whom Allah shall place
    in His shade. One of the scholars of hadith gathered
    those narrations in a monograph, and the reader can
    look them up there.
