2322. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Lo! Indeed the world is cursed. What is in it is cursed, except for remembrance of Allāh, what is conducive to that,[1] the knowledgeable person and the learning person." (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb.
٢٣٢٢ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الْمُؤَدِّبُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءَ بْنَ قُرَّةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ ضَمْرَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «أَلَا إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا مَلْعُونَةٌ» مَلْعُونٌ مَا فِيهَا إِلَّا ذِكْرُ اللهِ، وَمَا وَالَاهُ، وَعَالِمٌ أَوْ مُتَعَلِّمٌ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.

The world that makes the people forget their Creator, and out of whose love they tend to forget the Hereafter is, in terms of its real value and ultimate end, so despised and insignificant to Allāh that it fails to get even the smallest place in the all-compassing mercy of Allāh. In fact, only those matters and deeds will be eligible to find a place under the canopy of Allāh's all-embracing mercy that have some connection with Allāh and with the religion chosen and favored by Allāh.
