عَنْ أَبِیْ هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللہُ فِی ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلاَّ ظِلُّهُ الْاِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ، وَشَابٌّ نَشَأَ فِی عِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ، وَرَجُلٌ قَلْبُهُ مُعَلَّقٌ فِی الْمَسَاجِدِ، وَرَجُلَانِ تَحَابَّا فِی اللہِ اجْتَمَعَا عَلَيْهِ وَتَفَرَّقَا عَلَيْهِ، وَرَجُلٌ طَلَبَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّی أَخَافُ اللہَ۔ وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ أَخْفَى حَتَّى لاَ تَعْلَمَ شِمَالُهُ مَا تُنْفِقُ يَمِينُهُ، وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللہَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ
Hazrat Abu Hurairahra narrates that the Holy Prophetsa said:
“Allah will give shade to seven on the Day when there will be no shade but His. [These seven persons are] a just ruler; a youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah [i.e. worships Allah sincerely from childhood]; a man whose heart is attached to the mosques [i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the mosque in congregation]; two persons who love each other only for Allah’s sake and they meet and part in Allah’s cause only; a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: ‘I am afraid of Allah’; a man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given [i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity], and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Azan, Hadith 660)
