what you wear until it is worn out, or what you give in charity and thereby send on ahead?’ ” Reported by Muslim.

488 – ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A man once said to the Prophet ﷺ, “O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I love you.” He replied, “Look carefully at what you say.” The man repeated, “By Allah, I love you,” three times. The Prophet then said, “If you love me, then brace yourself for poverty with a tajfāf, for poverty reaches those who love me faster than a flood reaches its end.” Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ḥasan. ⦗1⦘

al-tajfāf: with a kasrah on the tāʾ, sukūn on the jīm, and a doubled fāʾ. It is a protective covering placed on a horse to ward off harm, and a human being may also wear something similar.

489 – Kaʿb ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Two hungry wolves let loose among a flock of sheep do not wreak more havoc on them than a person’s craving for wealth and status wreaks on his religion.” Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ.

490 – ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ lay down on a woven mat, and when he rose we saw its marks on his side. We said, “O Messenger of Allah, should we not make a cushion ⦗2⦘ for you?” He replied, “What have I to do with this world? I am in this world only like a rider who sought shade under a tree, then moved on and left it behind.” Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ.

491 – Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stated, “The poor will enter Paradise five hundred years before the rich.” Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ṣaḥīḥ.

492 – Ibn ʿAbbās and ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn (may Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, “I looked into Paradise and found that most of its people are the poor; and I looked into the Fire and saw that most of its people are women.” Agreed upon, through the narration of Ibn ʿAbbās.

⦗1⦘ A tajfāf is a protective covering placed on a horse to shield it from harm; a person may wear something similar.

(1) It is found in Daif Sunan al-Tirmidhi, with the chain abbreviated, no. 409. (2) That is, a soft mattress. The hadith also has a corroborating narration from Ibn Abbas, which I cited after the report of Ibn Masud in Al-Sahihah, nos. 438–439. —N.

لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ ، أَو تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ » ؟ ! رواه مسلم . ٤٨٨ - وعن عبد الله بن مُغَفَّل رضي الله عنه قال : قال رجل للنبي ﷺ : يا رسول الله ، وَاللَّهِ إني لأُحِبُّكَ ، فقال : « أَنْظُرْ مَاذَا تَقُولُ » ؟ قال : وَاللَّهِ إني لأُحِبُّكَ ، ثلاث مرات ، فقال : « إن كُنْتَ تُحِبُّنِي فَأَعِدَّ لِلْفَقْرِ تَجْفَافاً ، فَإِنَّ الْفَقْرَ أَسْرَعُ إِلَى مَنْ يُحِبُّنِي مِنَ السَّيْلِ إِلَى مُنْتَهَاهُ » رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن (١) . « التِّجْفَافُ » بِكَسْرِ التَّاءِ الْمُثَنَّاةِ فَوْقُ وَإِسْكَانِ الْجِيمِ وَبِالْفَاءِ الْمُكَرَّرَةِ ، وَهُوَ شَيْءٌ يُلْبِسُهُ الْفَرَسُ ، لِيُتَقَّى بِهِ الْأَذَى ، وَقَدْ يَلْبَسُهُ الْإِنْسَانُ . ٤٨٩ - وعن كعب بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ : « مَا ذِئْبَانِ جَائِعَانِ أُرْسِلَا فِي غَنَمٍ بِأَفْسَدَ لَهَا مِنْ حِرْصِ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى الْمَالِ وَالشَّرَفِ ، لِدِينِهِ » رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن صحيح . ٤٩٠ - وعن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال : نام رسول الله ﷺ على حَصِيرٍ ، فَقَامَ وَقَدْ أَثَّرَ فِي جَنْبِهِ ، قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ اتَّخَذْنَا لَكَ وِطَاءً (٢) . فَقَالَ : « مَا لِي وَلِلدُّنْيَا ؟ مَا أَنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا كَرَاكِبٍ اسْتَظَلَّ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ ثُمَّ رَاحَ وَتَرَكَهَا » رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن صحيح . ٤٩١ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ : « يَدْخُلُ الْفُقَرَاءُ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ بِخَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ » رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث صحيح . ٤٩٢ - وعن ابن عباس ، وَعِمْرَانَ بنِ الْحُصَيْنِ ، رضي الله عنهم عن النبي ﷺ ، قال : « اطَّلَعْتُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا الْفُقَرَاءَ ، وَاطَّلَعْتُ فِي النَّارِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءَ » متفق عليه من رواية ابن عباس .
