Hadith 252 - Bab 32 (Superiority of Poor, Weak and unrenowned Muslims)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Harithah bin Wahb (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) saying, "Shall I not inform you about the people of Jannah? It is every person who is, modest and humble (before Allah), a person who is accounted weak and is looked down upon but if he adjures Allah, Allah will certainly give him what he desires. Now shall I not inform you about the inmates of Hell? It is every violent, impertinent and proud man".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Hàritha Ibn Wahb (das) a dit: «J"ai entendu le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) dire: «Voulez-vous que je vous dise qui sont les gens du Paradis? C"est tout être faible dont les gens abusent de sa faiblesse. S"il faisait serment à Dieu de lui faire quelque chose, Dieu ne ferait pas mentir son serment (en la lui faisant). Voulez-vous maintenant que je vous dise qui sont les gens de l"Enfer? Ce sont tout butor, avide de richesse, avare et orgueilleux».

Hadith 253 - Bab 32 (Superiority of Poor, Weak and unrenowned Muslims)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man passed by the Prophet (Peace be upon him), so he asked a man who was sitting near him, "What is your opinion about this man?" That man replied: "He is one of the noblest men. By Allah he is certainly a proper person for (a girl) being given in marriage if he seeks to marry, and his recommendation is fit to be accepted if he recommends". Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) remained silent. Then another man passed. Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) enquired, "What is your opinion about this man?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah, he is one of the poor Muslims. He is not a proper person (for a girl) to be given in marriage to, and his recommendation would not be accepted if he makes one; if he speaks, he is not to be listened to." Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "He is better than the former by earthfuls".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Sahl Ibn Sa"d Asâ"idi (das) a dit: «Quelqu"un passa devant le Prophète (bsdl) qui dit à un homme assis près de lui: «Que penses-tu de cet homme?»L"autre dit: «C"est quelqu"un de la classe noble. Par Dieu, il mérite qu"on lui donne la main de toute femme qu"il demande en mariage et qu"on accepte son intercession». Le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) ne dit rien. Puis vint à passer quelqu"un d"autre. Le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) dit à son compagnon: «Que penses-tu de celui-ci?» Il dit: «O Messager de Dieu! Voilà quelqu"un appartenant aux pauvres des Musulmans. Il mérite qu"on lui refuse la main de celle qu"il demande en mariage, qu"on n"accepte pas son intercession et, s"il parle, qu"on n"écoute pas ce qu"il dit». Le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) dit alors: «Cet homme est meilleur que tout le contenant de la terre de cet autre». (ura)

Hadith 254 - Bab 32 (Superiority of Poor, Weak and unrenowned Muslims)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: There was a dispute between the Hell and Jannah. The Hell said: "The haughty and proud are my inmates." Jannah said: "The modest and the humble are my residents". Thereupon, Allah the Exalted and Glorious (addressing Jannah) said: "You are My Mercy, through you I shall show mercy to those whom I wish". (And addressing the Hell), He said: "You are (the means) of My punishment by which I shall punish such of My slaves as I wish and each one of you would have its fill".

[Muslim].

Selon Abou Sa"id Al Khoudri (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit :«II y eut une dispute entre le Paradis et l"Enfer. L"Enfer dit: «J"ai chez moi les tyrans et les orgueilleux». Le Paradis répliqua: «J"ai chez moi les faibles et les miséreux d"entre les humains». Dieu arbitra alors entre eux en disant : «C"est toi, Paradis, qui es Ma miséricorde et c"est par toi que Je la donne à qui Je veux. Et toi, Enfer, tu es Mon supplice et c"est par toi que Je tourmente qui Je veux. Je M"engage personnellement à assurer son plein à chacun de vous deux». (Rapporté par Moslem)

Hadith 255 - Bab 32 (Superiority of Poor, Weak and unrenowned Muslims)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "On the Day of Resurrection, there will be brought forth a bulky person whose value to Allah will be less than that of the wing of a mosquito".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Abou Hourayra (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Sûrement l"homme corpulent et gras viendra le jour de la résurrection n"ayant pas chez Dieu le poids de l"aile d"un moustique. (ura)                                     

Hadith 256 - Bab 32 (Superiority of Poor, Weak and unrenowned Muslims)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A black woman (or probably a young man) used to clean the mosque. Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) missed her (or him) and asked about her (or him). He was told that she (or he) had died. He (Peace be upon him) said, "Why did you not inform me?" (It seemed as if) they (Companions) considered the matter insignificant. Then he (Peace be upon him) said, "Show me her (or his) grave." When it was shown to him, he offered (Janazah-funeral) prayer over it and said, "These graves cover those in them with darkness, and Allah illumines them for the inmates as a result of my supplication for them".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Toujours selon lui, une négresse (ou un jeune noir) avait pour charge de balayer la mosquée. Le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) remarqua un jour son absence et s"enquérit de ses nouvelles. On lui dit: «Elle (ou il) est morte (ou mort)». Il dit : «Que ne m"avez-vous annoncé sa mort ? ». (On dirait que les gens ne lui avaient pas donné grande importance). Il dit: «Montrez-moi sa tombe». On la lui montra et il pria sur elle puis dit: «Ces tombes sont pleines de ténèbres pour leurs occupants et Dieu le Très-Haut les leur illumine par ma prière sur eux». (ura)                 

Hadith 257 - Bab 32 (Superiority of Poor, Weak and unrenowned Muslims)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Many a person with shaggy and dusty hair, dusty and driven away from doors (because of their poverty and shabby clothes) were to swear by Allah (that something would happen), Allah will certainly make it happen".

[Muslim].

Encore selon lui, le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «II se peut que cet individu à la tignasse mal peignée, tout couvert de poussière et que les gens repoussent de leurs portes, il se peut que s"il faisait serment à Dieu pour qu"il luifasse quelque chose, Dieu ne ferait pas mentir son serment».

Hadith 258 - Bab 32 (Superiority of Poor, Weak and unrenowned Muslims)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "I stood at the gate of Jannah, and (I saw) that the majority of those who entered it are the poor, and the wealthy were kept confined. The inmates of the Fire had been ordered to (enter) the Fire (Hell), and I stood at the gate of Hell and saw that the majority of its inmates are women".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Ousàma (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Je me suis tenu i debout devant la porte du Paradis et voilà que la majorité de ceux qui y entraient étaient les pauvres, tandis que les riches attendaient encore qu"on les y autorise. On donna cependant l"ordre de jeter en Enfer ceux qui y étaient destinés et voilà que la majorité de ceux qui y entraient étaient les femmes». (ura)

Hadith 259 - Bab 32 (Superiority of Poor, Weak and unrenowned Muslims)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "None spoke in the cradle but only three (persons), Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), the second one was the companion of Juraij who was a pious person. Juraij took a secluded monastery for worship and confined himself in it. His mother came to him as he was busy in prayer and she called: 'Juraij.' He said: 'My Rubb, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged in) my prayer.' He continued with the prayer. She returned and she came on the next day and he was (still) busy in prayer. She called: 'Juraij.' And he said: 'My Rubb, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged) in prayer, and he continued with the prayer,' and she returned. Then on the next day she again came while he was busy in prayer and called: 'Juraij.' And he said: 'My Rubb, my mother (is calling me while I am engaged) in my prayer.' And he continued with the prayer. She said: 'My Rubb, don't let him die until he has seen the faces of the prostitutes.' The story of Juraij and that of his meditation and prayer spread amongst Banu Israel. There was a prostitute who had been a beauty personified. She said (to the people): 'If you like, I can lure him to evil.' She presented herself to him but he paid no heed (to her). She came to a shepherd who lived near the temple and she offered herself to him. He (the shepherd) had sexual intercourse with her and so she became pregnant. When she gave birth to a baby she said: 'This is from Juraij.' So they came and asked Juraij to get down and demolished the temple and began to beat him. He asked them what the matter was. They said: 'You have committed fornication with this prostitute and she has given birth to a baby from you.' He said: 'Where is the baby?' They brought him (the baby) and then he said: 'Just leave me so that I should perform prayer.' He performed prayer and when he finished, he lifted the baby in his stomach and asked him: 'O boy, who is your father?' The baby answered: 'He is such and such a shepherd.' So, the people turned towards Juraij, kissed him and touched him (for seeking blessing) and said: 'We are prepared to construct your temple with gold.' He said, 'No just, rebuild it with mud as it had been,' and so they did". (The Prophet (Peace be upon him) continued:) "Then there was a baby who was sucking at his mother's breast when a person dressed in fine garment came on a priceless riding animal's back. His mother said: 'O Allah, make my child like this one.' He (the babe) left sucking and looked at him, and said: 'O Allah, don't make me like him.' He then returned to the breast and resumed sucking." He (Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: As though I can see Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) as he is illustrating the scene of his sucking milk with his forefinger in his mouth and sucking that. He (Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)) further reported Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) as saying, "There happened to pass by them a slave girl who was being beaten and they were saying: 'You have committed fornication and theft.' She was saying: 'Allah is enough for me and He is my Good Protector, and his mother said: 'O Allah, don't make my child like her.' He left sucking looked at her and said: 'O Allah! Make me like her.' It was followed by a conversation between the mother and the child. She said: 'A good looking man happened to pass by and I said: O Allah, make my child like him, and you said: O Allah, don't make me like him, and there passed a girl while they were beating her and saying: You committed fornication and theft, and I said: O Allah, don't make my child like her, and you said: O Allah, make me like her.' The child said: 'That man was a tyrant, and I said: O Allah don't make me like him; and they were saying about the girl: You committed fornication, whereas in fact she had not committed that and they were saying: You have committed theft, whereas she had not committed theft, so I said: O Allah, make me like her".

[Al- Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Abou Hourayra (das), le Prophète (bsdl) a dit: «Nul n"a parlé au berceau (parmi les fils d"Israël) si ce n"est les trois suivants: Jésus-fils-de-Marie et le compagnon, de joreyj. Ce Joreyj était un ascète qui s"était construit une tour. Alors qu"il était dans sa tour arriva sa mère juste au moment où il était en prière. Elle dit: «O Joreyj!» «Il dit: «O mon Seigneur! Dois-je répondre à ma mère ou continuer ma prière?» et il poursuivit sa prière. Sa mère s"en alla. Le lendemain elle revint le voir alors qu"il priait. Elle dit: «O Joreyj!» «Il dit: «O mon Seigneur! Dois-je répondre à ma mère ou dois-je continuer à prier?» et il poursuivit sa prière. Le troisième jour il y eut la même scène et elle dit: «Seigneur Dieu! Ne le fais pas mourir avant de lui faire voir le visage des pécheresses!» Les fils d"Israël parlèrent un jour de Joreyj et de son adoration pour Dieu. Or il y avait parmi eux une prostituée à la beauté proverbiale. Elle leur dit: «Si vous voulez, je vais certainement le soumettre à la tentation (le séduire)». Elle vint à sa rencontre mais il ne se tourna même pas vers elle. Elle alla trouver un berger qui habitait dans la tour de l"ascète. Elle se donna à lui et elle tomba enceinte. Quand elle mit au monde son enfant elle dit: «C"est celui de Joreyj». Les gens vinrent à lui, le firent descendre de sa tour et se mirent à le battre. Il leur dit: «Que me voulez-vous donc?» Ils dirent: «Tu as commis un adultère avec cette prostituée et elle a eu de toi cet enfant». Il dit: «Où est-il donc?» Ils le lui apportèrent. Il leur dit: «Laissez-moi d"abord faire ma prière». Il pria donc puis se dirigea vers l"enfant et le piqua dans son ventre en lui disant: «Enfant! Qui est ton père?» Il dit: «Untel le berger». Les gens se mirent à embrasser Joreyj et à passer leurs mains sur son corps. Ils lui dirent: «Veux-tu que nous te reconstruisions ta tour avec de l"or?» Il dit: «Non, mais refaites-la en terre comme elle était» et ils le firent. Alors qu"un enfant tétait le sein de sa mère, voilà que passa un cavalier à la fière allure et monté sur un beau cheval. Sa mère dit: «Seigneur Dieu! Faites que mon fils soit comme lui!» L"enfant quitta le sein et se retourna vers le cavalier. Il le regarda et dit: «Seigneur Dieu! Ne faites pas que je sois comme lui!» Il retourna ensuite au sein et se remit à téter (il me semble encore voir le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) tétant son propre doigt pour imiter l"enfant). Puis il dit: «Ils passèrent devant une jeune fille que les gens battaient en lui disant: «Tu as forniqué, tu as volé» et elle se contentait de leur dire: «Dieu me suffit pour ma défense et quel bon défenseur!» Sa mère dit: «Seigneur Dieu! Faites que mon fils ne soit pas comme elle!» L"enfant s"arrêta de téter, regarda la jeune fille et dit: «Seigneur Dieu! Faites que je sois comme elle!» C"est alors qu"il y eut entre lui et sa mère cette discussion. Sa mère lui dit: «II est passé un homme à la belle apparence et j"ai dit : «Seigneur Dieu! Faites que mon fils soit comme lui! et tu as dit: «Seigneur Dieu! Ne faites pas que je sois comme lui!». Puis des gens passèrent avec cette jeune fille qu"ils frappaient en lui disant: «Tu as forniqué, tu as volé». J"ai dit alors: «Seigneur Dieu! Ne faites pas que mon fils soit comme celle-ci!» et tu as dit: «Seigneur Dieu! Faites que je sois comme elle!». Il dit: «Cet homme était un tyran et c"est pourquoi j"ai dit: «Seigneur Dieu! Ne faites pas que je sois comme lui!» Quant à cette jeune fille, ils lui disent: «Tu as forniqué» sans qu"elle n"ait jamais forniqué et: «Tu as volé» sans qu"elle n"ait jamais volé. C"est pourquoi j"ai dit: «Seigneur Dieu! Faites que je sois comme elle!» (ura)
