The Three Whom ALLAH Loves And the Three Whom ALLAH
Hates.
Rasulullah
Sallallaho alaihe wasallam has said that Allah Ta’ala loves three persons and
detests three. Those whom Allah loves are (1) a person who, when a beggar came
and begged from some people, none of them being related to him, and was refused
by them, got up quietly and gave him something secretly so that only Allah
Ta’ala and the beggar knew of it; (2) a person who was one of a party that
travelled all night till sleep overtook them, but when all of them went to
sleep (for a short while), he got up and engaged in devotions, begging Allah’s
favour with importunity and reciting from the Holy Qur’an; and (3) a person who
was in a detachment that fought in Jehaad and was defeated but he went straight
ahead till he was martyred or granted victory.
The three
whom Allah Ta’ala detests are an old man who indulges in adultery, a beggar who
is proud and a rich man who is oppressive.
Note: There are
several different Traditions about the above subject concerning the six types
of persons mentioned in this Hadith. At Ayat No. 9 under the Ayat series above,
this very Hadith has been mentioned. Some of the Traditions mention only one
type of person and some, more than one. One Hadith says that there are three
occasions when the prayer (Du’aa) of a person is not rejected, but certainly
accepted.
First,
when a person offers his Salaat in a jungle alone, and no one can see him, his
Du’aa is certain to be accepted; second when a person who is engaged in Jehaad
along with a party, which runs away from the enemy, but he remains steadfast
alone; the third is a person who stands in devotion before Allah Ta’ala in the
latter part of night. Allah Ta’ala will not listen to three persons on the Day
of Judgement, nor will He purify them of their sins, nor look at them
graciously and, for them, there will be grievous punishment.
First the
persistent adulterer in old age; second the lying ruler; and third an arrogant
beggar. In this context, ‘will not purify them’ may mean, either ‘not purify
them of their sins’, or ‘will not commend their actions’. Another Hadith has it
to the following effect: There are three to whom Allah Ta’ala will not accord a
look of Grace on the Day of Resurrection and they will have a severe, painful
punishment: an elderly man indulging in fornication, a proud beggar and a
merchant who swears on all occasions, unnecessarily and repeatedly, both while
buying and selling. Undoubtedly it amounts to sheer impudence towards the
Divine Majesty of Allah Ta’ala to swear unnecessarily.
Still
another Hadith says: There are three at whom Allah Ta’ala will not look
gracefully on the Day of Resurrection and they will have painful punishment; an
old man indulging in fornication, a man who makes capital out of oaths, true or
false, and a proud beggar who is vain of himself. (Jami-us-Saghir)
It occurs
in a Hadith that Allah Ta’ala loves three persons and detests three: those he
loves are (1) a person who joins a detachment making Jehaad, faces and fights
the enemy most bravely till he is granted victory or dies a martyr, (2) a
person journeying with a party of travellers who go to sleep at night, but he
stands in devotional prayers till his fellow-travellers have taken rest for a
while and then wakes them up, and (3) a person who is patient towards a
neighbour who keeps molesting him till the two are separated by death or one of
them journeying to a distant place. And the three whom Allah detests are: a
merchant who swears frequently, a proud beggar and a person who, after giving
Sadaqah, keeps reminding people of his generosity towards them.
