The Prophet (pbuh): There is no envy except in two

Narrated Ibn Masud (RadhiAllahu 'anhu):

I heard the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) saying,

"There is no envy except in two: a person whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has given wisdom (i.e. religious knowledge) and he gives his decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others."

[Sahih Bukhari - Book 24 - Hadith 490]

The greatest ayah (verse) in Quran

Ubayy bin Ka`b (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: "Abu Mundhir! Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book is the greatest?''

I replied: "It is `Allah la ilaha illa Huwal-Haiyul-Qayum (Allah! none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever Living...)'.'' (Al-Quran - 2 : 255).

Thereupon he (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) patted me in the chest and said, "Rejoice by this knowledge, O Abu Mundhir!''

[Muslim]


Commentary:
The words cited in the Hadith occur at the beginning of Ayat-ul-Kursi (No. 255 of Surat Al-Baqarah of the Qur'an). The merits mentioned in the Hadith are for the whole Ayah. Ayat-ul-Kursi mentions the Majestic Attributes and Mighty Powers of Allah and is, therefore, very meritorious.

"Rejoice by this knowledge'' means "May this knowledge be a source of respect, honour and benefit to you.'' And knowledge here stands for the knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith which is certainly a means of success in this world and the Hereafter.

To lie against the Prophet (pbuh) will lead to Hell

Narrated Anas (RadhiAllahu 'anhu):

The fact which stops me from narrating a great number of Hadiths to you is that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally, then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."

Excellence of Knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith

"Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge.'' (Qur'an : 58:11)


Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,

"Allah makes the way to Jannah easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge.''

[Muslim]

Commentary:
In this Hadith, knowledge means the knowledge of the religion, that is to say the correct knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith which is acquired without any prejudice of any juristic school. Otherwise juristic prejudice can turn knowledge into great obstruction. May Allah bestow His Mercy on us.

A believer never satisfies doing good

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"A believer never satisfies doing good until he reaches Jannah.''

[At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary:
According to this Hadith, it is a quality of a Muslim that he is very much concerned about acquiring virtues and doing good, and he is never tired of struggling for them and live by them so much so that in this struggle he reaches the end of his life. By mentioning this Hadith in Kitab-ul-`Ilm it has been made evident that the best of the virtues is learning and teaching of religious knowledge because it is actually this knowledge which enables a person to distinguish between good and evil.

Learn and Teach for the sake of Allah

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"He who calls others to follow the Right Guidance will have a reward equal to the reward of those who follow him, without their reward being diminished in any respect on that account.''

[Muslim].

Commentary: This Hadith has glad tidings for those who learn the knowledge of religion, teach it and impart it to others.

If a single person is guided by Allah through you, it will be better for you

Sahl bin Sa`d (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said to `Ali (Radhiallahu anhu):

"By Allah, if a single person is guided by Allah through you, it will be better for you than a whole lot of red camels.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: "Better for you than red camels'' is an allegory for every thing that is better than anything else. Red camels used to be precious in Arabia, and their reference here is to highlight the value of guidance. Thus, this Hadith brings into prominence the importance of calling people towards Allah. But before calling others to the path of Allah, one must himself know it, and for this purpose, the knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith is essential because one cannot provide any guidance in this respect without this knowledge.

Learn and Teach for the sake of Allah

Mu`awiyah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

Learn and Teach for the sake of Allah

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"When Allah wishes good for someone, He bestows upon him the understanding of Deen.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: Knowledge and understanding of Deen (religion) here stands for the understanding of the Qur'an and Hadith, religious injunctions, and knowledge of the lawful and the unlawful. This Hadith highlights the excellence of knowledge and the fact that it is a sign of Allah's Help to the person who possesses it and acts upon it.
