Squandered
(1) His statement: “Squandered”: This is derived either from ghabn with a silent bā’, meaning loss in trade, or from ghabn with a pronounced bā’, meaning deficiency in judgment. It is as if he said: If these two are not used properly, their possessor has squandered them, selling them cheaply with regrettable consequences, or lacking sound judgment entirely. For if a person does not perform acts of obedience during times of health, they are even less likely to do so during illness. The same applies to free time. Thus, they remain without deeds, losing and squandered. A person may be healthy but not free for worship due to preoccupation with earning a living, or vice versa. When both are present and one fails to attain virtues, that is the ultimate loss. How could it not be, when this world is the market of profits and commerce for the Hereafter? Many people fail to acquire sufficient deeds for their return, regretting their wasted lives when they pass, but regret avails them nothing. Allah, the Exalted, said: “That is the Day of Loss.” (At-Taghabun: 9) And he (ﷺ) said: “The people of Paradise do not regret anything except an hour that passed without remembering Allah.” (As stated in Umdat al-Qari and Al-Mirqat.)

Amr ibn Maymun al-Awdi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to a man while advising him: “Seize five things before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your preoccupation, and your life before your death.”
Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The feet of the son of Adam will not move on the Day of Resurrection until he is asked about five things: his life and how he spent it, his youth and how he used it, his wealth and how he earned it, how he spent it, and what he did with what he knew.”
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The first thing a servant will be asked about on the Day of Resurrection regarding blessings is: ‘Did We not grant you a healthy body and quench you with cool water?’”
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “None of you awaits 1 anything but wealth that makes him arrogant, poverty that makes him forgetful, illness that corrupts him, old age that weakens him, death that hastens him, the Dajjal—the worst absent evil awaited—or the Hour, and the Hour is more grievous and bitter.”

None of you awaits…
(1) His statement: “None of you awaits…”: This is expressed as a rebuke for the negligence of those responsible in matters of their religion. It means: When will you worship your Lord? If you do not worship Him when distractions are few and your body is strong, how will you do so when distractions abound and your strength wanes? Perhaps one of you awaits only wealth, etc. (As stated in Al-Mirqat.)

No right…
(1) His statement: “No right…”: By “right,” he means what is obligated for him by Allah without accountability in the Hereafter. If he suffices with these from lawful means, he will not be questioned about them, as they are essential needs. Anything beyond these pleasures will be questioned, and gratitude for them is required.

Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The most enviable of my friends in my sight is a believer with little wealth, devoted to prayer, who worships his Lord excellently and obeys Him in secret, obscure among people, not pointed out, with sufficient provision, patient with it.” Then he snapped his fingers and said: “His death is hastened, his mourners are few, and his inheritance is little.”
Abdullah ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Successful is the one who embraces Islam, is provided with sufficiency, and is made content by Allah with what He has given him.”
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad sufficient.” In another narration: “Just enough.”
Abu ad-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The sun does not rise except with two angels at its sides calling out, heard by all creatures except humans and jinn 1: ‘O people, come to your Lord! What is little and sufficient is better than what is abundant and distracting.’”
(1) His statement: “Heard by all creatures except humans and jinn”: If you ask, if humans do not hear the angels’ call, what is its benefit, and how are they alerted by it? I say: Its benefit is that the truthful and confirmed Prophet (ﷺ) informs of it, either from what he heard himself or what the Absolute Truth informed him of. The Prophet’s conveying this to the community suffices. (Summarized from Al-Mirqat and Al-Lama’at.)

One whose heart is greedy for wealth is truly poor, regardless of how much he possesses. (As stated in Al-Mirqat.)

Be kind to your neighbor, and you will be a true believer. Love for others what you love for yourself, and you will be a Muslim. Do not laugh excessively, for excessive laughter deadens the heart.”

Note 1
Avoid the forbidden, and you will be the most devout of people
(1) His statement: “Avoid the forbidden, and you will be the most devout of people”: Preventing harm is more important than seeking benefit. Avoiding sins is harder on the soul than performing good deeds. When the means for sin are present, refraining from it is not mere abstention but an act of restraining the soul, which is an act of obedience rewarded, as detailed in the books of our Hanafi scholars. (As stated in Al-Kawkab ad-Durri.) The author of At-Talwih said: Avoiding the forbidden is neither rewarded nor punished. It was objected that it is obligatory, and the obligatory is rewarded. The verse states: “And whoever fears the standing before his Lord and restrains his soul from desire.” (An-Nazi’at: 40) The response is that reward comes from performing the obligatory, not merely avoiding the forbidden, or else one would receive countless rewards for every forbidden act not committed. Restraining the soul from sin, when its means are present and the soul inclines toward it, is an act of obedience rewarded.
Note 2
You will be the most devout of people
(2) His statement: “You will be the most devout of people”: For no worship surpasses fulfilling obligations. Common people neglect them, focusing on abundant optional deeds, neglecting the essentials while pursuing virtues. One may owe missed prayers yet seek knowledge or strive in optional worship, or owe zakat or others’ rights yet feed the poor or build mosques and schools. (As stated in Al-Mirqat.)

Blessed is the servant holding the reins of his horse in the path of Allah, with disheveled hair and dusty feet. If he is on guard, he is on guard; if in the rear, he is in the rear. If he seeks permission, it is not granted; if he intercedes, he is not heeded.”

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The servant says: ‘My wealth, my wealth,’ but from his wealth, he has only three: 1 what he eats and consumes, what he wears and wears out, or what he gives and acquires. Beyond that, it departs, and he leaves it to others.”

Indeed, his wealth is what he sends forth…
(1) His statement: “Indeed, his wealth is what he sends forth…”: If you say this contradicts his statement to Sa’d: “That you leave your heirs wealthy is better than leaving them dependent, begging others,” I say: There is no contradiction. Sa’d intended to give all his wealth in charity during his illness, and his heir was his daughter, who could not earn. He was instructed to give a third and leave the rest for her. This hadith addresses the companions in their health, urging them to send forth some wealth to benefit them on the Day of Resurrection, not to give all their wealth during illness, which would deprive their heirs and leave them begging. The Lawgiver permits disposing of only a third. (As stated in Umdat al-Qari.)
