عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ يَرْضَى لَكُمْ ثَلَاثًا، وَيَكْرَهُ لَكُمْ ثَلَاثًا، فَيَرْضَى لَكُمْ: أَنْ تَعْبُدُوهُ، وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَأَنْ تَعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا، وَيَكْرَهُ لَكُمْ: قِيلَ وَقَالَ، وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ، وَإِضَاعَةِ الْمَالِ».

Translation

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Verily, Allah is pleased with three things for you and is displeased with three things for you. He is pleased for you: to worship Him, not to associate anything with Him, and to hold fast to the rope of Allah altogether and not to be disunited; and He dislikes for you: idle talk, excessive questioning, and wasting money."

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that Allah loves three qualities from His slaves and dislikes three. He loves from them the following: To worship Him alone and not to associate anything with Him, to hold fast to the covenant of Allah, the Qur’an, and the Sunnah of His Prophet, all together, and not to be separated from the Muslim community. He dislikes for them: idle talk and excessive speech about matters that do not concern them, asking about things that have not occurred, or asking people for their money and possessions without necessity, wasting money, spending it in ways other than its lawful uses, and putting it at risk of being lost.

Benefits

  • Allah Almighty loves sincerity in worship from His slaves and dislikes disbelief in Him.
  • Encouraging adherence to and holding fast to the rope of Allah Almighty, as it leads to unity and harmony.
  • Encouraging the community, commanding adherence to it, unifying its ranks, and prohibiting its opposite, which is division and discord.
  • The prohibition of excessive talking about useless matters; because if it is permissible, it leads to the waste of time, and if it is forbidden, it increases sins.
  • The prohibition of engaging in gossip about people, tracking their conditions, and recounting their words and actions.
  • The prohibition of excessive asking for people's money.
  • The prohibition of wasting money, and the encouragement to preserve it for what is beneficial.
Explanation: العربية

أخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن الله يحب من عباده ثلاث خصال، ويكره منهم ثلاثًا، فيحب منهم: أن يوحدوه ولا يشركوا به شيئًا، وأن يعتصموا بعهد الله والقرآن وسنة نبيه جميعًا، ولا يتفرقوا عن جماعة المسلمين. ويكره لهم: اللغو وفضول الكلام فيما لا يعنيهم، والسؤال عما لم يقع، أو سؤال الناس أموالهم، وما في أيديهم، وما لم تدعو إليه حاجة، وإضاعة المال وصرفه في غير وجوهه الشرعية، وتعريضه للتلف.

  • يحب الله تعالى من عباده الإخلاص في عبادته، ويبغض الكفر به.
  • الحض على الاعتصام والتمسك بحبل الله تعالى؛ لما فيه من اجتماع وائتلاف.
  • الحث على الجماعة، والأمر بلزومها وتوحيد صفوفها، والنهي عن ضدها من التفرق والاختلاف.
  • النهي عن كثرة الكلام بما لا يعني؛ لأنه إن كان مباحًا ففيه إضاعة الوقت، وإن كان حرامًا ففيه كثرة المآثم.
  • ترك الخوض في أخبار الناس وتتبع أحوالهم وحكاية أقوالهم وأفعالهم.
  • النهي عن كثرة السؤال لأموال الناس.
  • تحريم إضاعة المال، والحث على المحافظة عليه فيما ينفع.
