Ayat 18. And collect (wealth) and hide it (from spending it in the Cause of Allah).
Tafseer of Surah Al-Ma'arij Ayat. 5 to 18. Therefore, do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment). The prophet of Allah, persecuted and in trouble with the world, should yet hold Patience-not the sort of patience which goes with complaints expressed or suppressed, but the sort of patience that is content with the ordering of Allah's world, for he believes and knows it to be good, as did the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (SAWW) (PBUH) . Such a patience is akin to Good Pleasure, for it arises from the purest faith and trust in Allah. 6. They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event): 7. The men of evil may see the just retribution for their sins so far off that they doubt whether it would ever come. But in Allah's sight, and on the scale of the Universal Plan, it is quite near; for time as we know it hardly exists in the spiritual world. It may come even in this life: but it is bound to come eventually. 8. Cf. 18:29 (where the wrongdoer will have a drink like melted brass in Hell); and 44:45, (where his food will be like molten brass). Here the appearance of the sky is compared to molten brass, or, as some understand it, like the dregs of oil. What is conveyed by the metaphor is that the beautiful blue sky will melt away. 9. The world as we know it will have so completely passed away that the landmarks in the heavens and on earth will also have vanished. Not only that, but the human relationships of mind and heart will have been transformed by sin into something ugly and dreadful. The sinners will be so overcome with tenor at the realization of their personal responsibility that they will desert their most intimate friends, and indeed their very sight of each other will add to their agony. 11. Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children, The sinner will offer his children, his family, his kinsmen, who had sheltered and protected him-in fact everything on earth that he could-as a ransom for himself. Such would be his selfishness and his agony. 12. His wife and his brother, 13. His kindred who sheltered him, 14. And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him: What would not the sinner give for his own deliverance! But nothing could save him. The Fire of Hell would be roaring for him! 15. By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!- 16. Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!-(5686) 5686 It would be a Fire not only burning his body, but reaching right up to his brains and his understanding and—as is said in 104:7—his heart and affections also. In other words the Penalty typified by the Fire will burn into his inmost being. 17. The analysis of sin is given in four masterstrokes, of which the first two refer to the will or psychology of the sinner, and the last two to the use he makes of the good things of this life. (1) Sin begins with turning your back to the Right, refusing to face it squarely, running away from it whether from cowardice or indifference. (2) But Conscience and the sense of Right will try to prevent the flight; the Grace of Allah will meet the sinner at all corners and try to reclaim him; the hardened sinner will deliberately turn away his face from it, insult it, and reject it. (3) The result of this psychology will be that he will abandon himself to greed, to the collection of riches, and the acquisition of material advantages to which he is not entitled; this may involve hypocrisy, fraud, and crime. (4) Having acquired the material advantages, the next step will be to keep others out of them, to prevent hoarded wealth from fructifying by circulation, to conceal it from envy or spite. This is the spiritual Rake's Progress. 18. And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!.
Hadith الحدیث
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abdullah bin Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, "I know of the last of the inhabitants of the Hell to be taken out from there and the last one to enter Jannah. He is a man who will come out of the Fire, crawling on all fours. Allah, the Rubb of glory and honour will say to him: `Go and enter Jannah.' He will go to it and think that it is full up. He will then come back and say: `O my Rubb, it is full up.' Allah will say to him: `Go and enter Jannah.' He will again go to it and think that it is full up. So, he will turn back. Allah will again say: `Go and enter Jannah. For you have what is equal to ten times the world.' He will say: `Are You making fun of me while You are the King?'' At this I (i.e., the narrator) saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) laugh till his premolars were visible and he said, "Such man will be the last dweller of Jannah in its lowest rank.''
[Al-Bukhari Hadith # 6571 and Muslim Hadith # 359]
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Ma'arij Ayat 10. And no friend will ask of a friend". The general habit of the Prophet ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) was just to smile. But while talking about the gifts and honors of an ordinary person in Jannah, he could not help laughing in a manner that his molars became visible. The person on the lowest pedestal in Jannah will be given ten times better things and gifts that he could have on this earth. May Allah admit us into Jannah in His Mercy. Ameen.
