And from him...

And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hammad Bin Usman who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying in a Hadeeth: ‘The best of the clothing in every era is the clothing of its people’. [9] . وقال صلي الله عليه و اله و سلم لا تزول قَدَما العبد يَومَ القيامة حتّى يُسأل عن أربعٍ: عن عُمره فيما أفناه، وعن شَبابه فيما أبلاه، وعن علمه كيف عمل به، وعن ماله مِن أين اكتسبه وفيما أنفقه [وعن حبّنا أهل البيت[.

And Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘The feet of the servant will not move on the Day of Judgment until he is Asked about four (matters) – About his life-time, in what did he spend it, and about his youth, what did he indulge it in, and about his knowledge, how did he act with it, and about his wealth, from where did he earn it and in what did he spend it, and about our -asws love, of the People -asws of the Household’.

[10] Rasool Allah -saww has also warned us about a time when moral values will be at the worst possible level and we should not be swept away by the ‘satanic norms’ of those communities, for example: . وقال النبيّ صلي الله عليه و اله و سلم كيف بكم إذا فسدتْ نِساؤُكم وفسق شبابكم، ولم تأمروا بمعروفٍ ولم تنهوا عن منكرٍ؟!

فقيل له: ويكون ذلك يا رسول الله؟ And the Prophet -saww said: ‘How would it be with you when your women are dishonoured, and your youth are mischievous, and you do not enjoin the good and do not forbid from the evil?’ It was said to him -saww , ‘And will that be happening, O Rasool-Allah -saww ?’ قال: نعم، وشرٌّ مِن ذلك؛ فكيف بكم إذا أمرتم بالمنكر ونهيتم عن المعروف؟ فقيل له: يا رسول الله، ويكون ذلك؟ قال: نعم، وشرٌّ من ذلك، كيف بكم إذا رأيتم المعروف منكراً والمنكر معروفاً؟ He -saww said: ‘Yes, and even more evil than that!

So how would it be with you when you are enjoined with the evil and forbidden from the good?’ It was said to him -saww , ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww ! And would that be happening?’ He -saww said: ‘And even more evil than that.
