Dislike of Unnecessary Goods
The Prophet did not like, even for a short time, to keep money or provisions in his house in excess of his needs. In the same way, he did not allow the goods of charity which were the property of common people to remain with him for a moment. He would have no peace of mind till they had been given away.
BRIGHTNESS OF THE PARTS OF BODY WASHED IN ABLUTION ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: “My people will be summoned on the day of resurrection with white faces and hands and feet from the marks of ablution. If any of you can extend his brightness, let him do so.”[Bukhari, Muslim]
THE MANNER OF PERFORMING WUDU
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Apostle of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “On the day of resurrection, the feet of the son of Adam will not move away till he is questioned about five matters:
1. On what he spent his life;
2. In what he made his youth pass away;
3. Whence he acquired his property;
4. On what he spent it and
5. What he did regarding what he knew; [Tirmizi Ma’arif -ul- Hadis]
It has been reported from the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that a time is to come for my Ummah when other nations will, taking (you) as a delicious morsel, rush open you just as people do on dining tables. “Someone asked, O Messenger of ALLAH! Shall our number be reduced at that time to such an extent that in order to devour us, other nations will unite and rush upon us?” The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “At that time your number will not be little but you will be weightless like straw floating on flood (water) and that your awe will get out of the hearts of your enemy and cowardice and low spirits will find a place in your hearts”. On this a person enquired “What will be the cause of this cowardice (finding a place in the hearts?) The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) replied, “Because you will start loving the world and will flee from death and will hate it”. [Abu Daud, Ma’arif-ul-Hadis]
Hadrat Abu Khizamah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated on the authority of his father, who said, “I asked the Messenger of ALLAH, “What have you to say about incantation and charms to which we resort to in relieving our pains and ailments and about medicines which we use during illness as also the devices that we employ for our protection. Do these repel the Divine Decree? The Apostle of ALLAH replied, “All these things are also by Divine Decree.” [Musnad Ahmad, Tirmizi, Ibn-e-Majah, Ma’arif-ul-Hadis]
“Peace be with you, O Messanger of Allah ; pease be with you, O the best for all the creatures of Allah ; peace be with you O selected one of Allah ; peace be with you, O dear one of Allah ; peace be with you O Chief of the descendants of Adam ; peace as well as the mercy of Allah and his blessings be with you O Prophet. O Messanger of Allah ! I bear witness that there ia no God but Allah, He is alone no partner He hath and I bear witness that ye are His slave and Messanger. I bear witness that ye have conveyed that divine Message and have transmitted the entrusted mission ; ye wished well for your people and dispelled their restlessness.
His principle in the matter of dress was convenience and informality. He would put on what was available and was not at all formal about it, i.e. he never cared for any particular kind or quality of clothing and under no circumstances, for fine and expensive one. He contented himself with what ever met the need for clothing. His dress consisted generally of a wrap or mantle and an IZAR (lower garment) made of coarse cloth. He is reported to have worn woolen clothing also. It has been narrated that his wrap was full of patches. He used it and would say, I am only a servant, and dress myself like one.” [Tradition from Shaikheen]
(The collector is the one who collects the taxes from sellers in the market in pre-Islamic times.)
Allah says,
{The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrongdoing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a chastisement grievous.} (Ash-Shura: 42)
The tax collector is one of the closest supporters of the oppressors. Rather he may be of the oppressors.
He takes what is not lawful to him and gives it to those who do not deserve it. Hence, the Prophet declared,
Allah says,
“As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own solemn plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the hereafter! Nor will Allah (Design to) speak to them or look at them on the Day of Judgement, nor will he clean them (of sin): they shall have a grievous chastisement.” (3: 77)
Allah says,
As to the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hand: retribution for their deed and exemplary punishment from Allah, and Allah is exalted in power, full of Wisdom.” (5:38)
Ibn Shihab commented, “Allah severely punished whosoever steals people’s property by cutting off his / her hand. And He is Almighty in retribution and full of wisdom in dispensing the penalty he has prescribed for thieves.
