430 – ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Indeed, Allah loves it that, when He bestows a blessing upon a servant, He sees the outward trace of that blessing upon him.” Related by al-Bayhaqī. (1)

Grading of the ḥadīth
The report is ḥasan (sound) on account of its supporting narrations, among them:
1 – The ḥadīth of ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, recorded by al-Tirmidhī (2819), who graded it ḥasan, and by al-Ḥākim (4/15).
2 – The ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah, recorded by Aḥmad (8045) and by al-Bayhaqī in Shuʿab al-Īmān (5/163).
3 – The ḥadīth of Abū al-Aḥwaṣ from his father, recorded by Abū Dāwūd (4063) and al-Nasāʾī (5224). These chains mutually reinforce one another, raising the narration to the level of ḥasan.

Lessons drawn from the ḥadīth
1 – It is recommended to display Allah’s bounty when He enriches and broadens a person’s means; this should be evident in his clothing, food, drink, dwelling, and every other lawful aspect of life.
2 – Displaying Allah’s favour must be free of any intent to boast, act haughtily, or break the hearts of the poor by belittling them. This is the meaning intended by the ḥadīth, and it is conditioned by the texts that convey these themes.
3 – As for one whose means are tight, he should not put on the false appearance of the affluent; rather, he should dress, eat, and so forth in proportion to what Allah has granted him—“and whoever has been constrained…"
