Arabic text

4143 - أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ، وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَعْمَالِكُمْ، وَقُلُوبِكُمْ»

Commentary

Being beautiful or ugly is not under the control of a person, but is subject to the will of Allāh. One should concentrate on doing good deeds to please Allāh, the Exalted. People, whether they are rich or poor, all are equal near Allāh. A rich, cannot be forgiven out of his richness, and a poor person cannot be considered guilty out of his poverty.
