third hadith (3)
According to Ab¬ Umåma, the Prophet, may God give him blessings and peace,
said:
God, ever mighty and majestic is He, says: “Among My Friends,
the one to be envied most, in My eyes, is the believer who has but
little means and whose fortune is prayer, who worships his Lord
in the best of modes, obeying Him in secret and in public. He
is unnoticed among men; they do not point him out with their
¥ngers. His livelihood is just suf¥cient, and he accepts that with
patience.”
Then the Prophet snapped his ¥ngers and said:
His death is hastened, his mourners few, his estate of little worth.
fourth hadith (4)
Anas [ibn Målik] said:
One day when the Messenger of God, may God bless him and give
him peace, was seated [amongst us], we saw him laugh and laugh
until his teeth were showing. ¡Umar asked: “What makes you laugh,
O Messenger of God, you for whom I would give my own father
and mother?” He replied:
“Two men of my community were kneeling before the Lord of
Might, ever exalted is He, and one of them said: ‘O my Lord,
retrieve for me what my brother has wrongfully taken from me!’
