610. Narrated Aboo Huraira (radhi Allaahu anhu) : The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
Allaah (Subhaanu wata’alaa) will give shade, to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but His. (These seven persons are)
- A just ruler,
- A youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allaah (i.e. worships Allaah (Subhaanu wata’alaa) Alone sincerely from his childhood),
- A man whose heart is attached to the mosques (i.e. who offers the five compulsory congregational Salaat (prayers) in the mosques),
- Two persons who love each other only for Allaah’s sake, and they meet and part in Allaah’s cause only,
- A man who refusesthe call of a charming woman of noble birth for illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allaah,
- A man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity),
- And a person who remembers Allaah (Subhaanu wata’alaa) in seclusion and his eyes become flooded with tears.”
