They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: A poor man amongst us is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The poor of my Umma would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrecton with prayers and fasts and Zakat but since he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against others and unlawfully consumed the wealth of others and shed the blood of others and beat others, and his virtues would be credited to the account of one (who suffered at his hand). And if his good deeds fall short to clear the account, then his sins would be entered in (his account) and he would be thrown in the Hell-Fire.

Sallam alaykum brothers and sister.
ReplyDeleteThis hadith is most pleasing to see, Mohammad-pbuh was not only a prophet, but a role model to follow in his steps, as we can never reach the same level of virtue as him, we can always try our best...
