The People are 4, and the Deeds are 6

THE PEOPLE ARE OF FOUR TYPES, AND THE DEEDS ARE SIX

(From ‘AS-SAHEEHAH’ (no. 2604) of Shaikh al-Albaanee – rahimahullaah):

From Khuraym ibn Faatik al-Asadee –radiyallaahu ‘anhu- that the Prophet said:

<<The people are four, and the deeds are six.

So the people are:

[i] one granted plenty in this world and in the Hereafter, and
[ii] one granted plenty in this world, poor in the Hereafter and,
[iii] one poor in this world, granted plenty in the Hereafter and,
[iv] one wretched in this world and in the Hereafter;

and the deeds are:

[i& ii] The two which are binding, and
[iii & iv] like for like, and
[v] ten times more, and
[vi] seven hundred times more:

[i & ii] So the two which are binding are:

Whoever dies as a Muslim, a Believer, not associating anything with Allaah – then Paradise is binding for him; and whoever dies as a Disbeliever – then the Fire is binding for him; and

[iii & iv] Whoever intends an evil deed but does not do it, and Allaah knows that his heart felt it and desired it, then it is written as a good deeds for him; and whoever intended an evil deed then it is not written against him; and whoever did it then it is written as one, and it is not multiplied for him, and

[v] whoever did a good deed – then ten times its like is written for him, and

[vi] whoever spends something in Allaah’s cause, then it is multiplied for him seven hundred times over.>>

Reported by Ahmad (4/345), Ibn Hibbaan (no. 31), and Ibn Abee Shaybah in his ‘Musnad’ (2/38/2).

-Shaikh al-Albaanee declared its chain of narration to be ‘Saheeh’.

P.S.

This is recently tweeted by Masjid us Sunnah (@Masjidussunnah) on which I include for those who don’t know the late Ustādh Abū ala Dāwūd Burbank (رحمه الله).

Ustādh Abu Idrīs Muammad ((حفظه الله shared an inspirational story on Sincerity giving an example of his teacher Abū ala Dāwūd Burbank (رحم الله رحمة واسعة)

Abū ala; my teacher  was a fitting example in this regard. He never wanted to be in the limelight and never ever conducted a khubah (Friday sermon). He authored a book (Tafsīr Sūrah al-Nabāʾ) and did not know how to publish it, nor did he know much about buying and selling; he did not know where to start. He published his book but was then stuck with several copies. I helped him arranged for his books to be sold in East London. They requested that we come down and complete the transaction. One of them called me and asked if Abū ala could deliver a lecture (as he had never give one in London before), so I relayed this message. He refused and asked me to do it. I said, “How can I speak in front of you and you are my teacher?” They persisted and said,”We have heard you before, now we want to hear him (Abū ala). So, I conveyed their message  back to him and he responded saying, “By Allāh! The fact that they want to hear me, I will not deliver a lecture there!”

Sincerity! And only Allāh knows what in his heart, but we judge, as ‘Umar ibn Khaṭṭāb said, based on the apparent. Look at how he returned to Allāh. He was in the state of irām, making the talbiyah intending to perform ajj.

The Prophet (), “Whoever dies in the state of irām will be resurrected  on the Day of Judgement making the talbiyah.”

When the people will be in a fearful state as if they are intoxicated on that great day, the likes of these individuals in irām will come saying the talbiyah. Abū ala died in a fire and the Prophet () informed us that the one who dies in a fire is a martyr. He was buried in the most sacred place on the face of the earth. Over three million people prayed over him and his wife. After his death, there was not a corner of the world except that they mentioned his name. Even the disbelievers said about him, ‘a renowned and a pious  translator has passed away.’ Everyone mentioned his name when he died although this was something he fled from a while he was alive. Look how Allāh blessed him. It is Allāh who raises a person. We don’t seek knowledge because we want to be raised, but we do so because we desire to become humble servants before Allāh.

Lecture Conducted  at Masjid Daar us Sunnah entitled, “Sincerity is The Path To Salvation”

May Allāh grant Abū ala and his wife a highest place in Paradise. Ameen
