Quick Hadith 131

HADITH 1

Abdullah ibn Mas'ud RA narrates:

"Rasulullah SAW slept on a straw mat. When he stood up (we noticed) the straw mat left marks on the body of Rasulullah SAW (due to the straw mat being rough).

Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said:

"Oh Prophet of Allah! Had you ordered us we would have spread (a comfortable bed) for you. "

(Upon that) Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:

"I do not have any love for the (comforts of the) world. My relationship with the (comfort of the) world is nothing but like a traveller who (while travelling) seeks shadow under a tree and rest there and thereafter leaves." (Mishkat: Mi’raj)


HADITH 2

Abdullah ibn Mas'ud RA narrates that Rasulullah SAW said:

"The two feet of the son of Adam will not move away on the Day of Qiyamat until he is questioned (by Allah) regarding five things:

1. His life, in what did he spend it;

2. His youth, where did he pass it;

3. His wealth, where did he earn it, and in what did he spend it;

4. Did he practise on what he learnt. (Mishkat: Mi'raj) "
