“Be in This World as a Stranger – Prophet Muhammad’s Timeless Reminder About Dunya and the Hereafter”
Abdullah ibn ʿUmar (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of my shoulders and said:
“Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a traveler along a path.”
Ibn ʿUmar (رضي الله عنه) would say:
“When you reach the evening, do not expect to see the morning; and when you reach the morning, do not expect to see the evening. Take from your health for your sickness, and from your life for your death.
عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمٰنِ أَبُو المُنْذِرِ الطُّفَاوِيُّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَعْمَشِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُجَاهِدٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَنْكِبِي فَقَالَ كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَلاَ تَنْتَظِرْ الصَّبَاحَ وَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلاَ تَنْتَظِرْ الْمَسَاءَ وَخُذْ مِنْ صِحَّتِكَ لِمَرَضِكَ وَمِنْ حَيَاتِكَ لِمَوْتِكَ.

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 6416)
“What No Eye Has Seen, No Ear Has Heard – The Eternal Reward Allah Prepared for the Believers”
Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
Allah said: “I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and what has never crossed the heart of any human. If you wish, recite: ‘No soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for the eyes’ (Qur’an 32:17).”
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعْدَدْتُ لِعِبَادِي الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لاَ عَيْنَ رَأَتْ، وَلاَ أُذُنَ سَمِعَتْ، وَلاَ خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ، فَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {فَلاَ تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ }”.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 3244)

Cloth related Hadith :
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ الأَحْدَبِ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ، قَالَ لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ، وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ، وَعَلَى غُلاَمِهِ حُلَّةٌ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَابَبْتُ رَجُلاً، فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ، فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَعَيَّرْتَهُ بِأُمِّهِ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ، إِخْوَانُكُمْ خَوَلُكُمْ، جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ، وَلْيُلْبِسْهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ، وَلاَ تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ، فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ
Narrated by Ma‘rur (may Allah have mercy on him):
He said: Once I met Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) at a place called Rabahdhah. At that time, he was wearing a pair of garments (a lower and upper cloth), and his servant was also wearing a pair of garments exactly like his.
I asked him about the reason for this, and he said:
“Once I abused a man and insulted him regarding his mother. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me:
‘O Abu Dharr! Did you insult him regarding his mother? Indeed, you are a man in whom there still remains (something) of the behavior of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (Jāhiliyyah).
Know that your slaves are your brothers. Allah has placed them under your authority. So whoever has his brother under his control, let him feed him with the same food he eats, and clothe him with the same clothing he wears. Do not burden them with work that overpowers them. And if you do assign them such work, then help them in it.’”

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَوْ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَرَجَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ، فَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ، وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْقُرْطَ وَالْخَاتَمَ، وَبِلاَلٌ يَأْخُذُ فِي طَرَفِ ثَوْبِهِ.
وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ وَقَالَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Narrated by Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him):
He said: I bear witness before the Prophet (ﷺ) — or the next narrator, ‘Ata (may Allah have mercy on him), said: I bear witness before Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) — that the Prophet (ﷺ) went out (on the day of Eid) toward the rows of men, and Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) thought that his advice might not have reached the women who were standing far away, so he went to them and gave them admonition, advising them to give charity.
Then the women began giving their earrings and rings in charity, and Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) started collecting them in the fold of his garment.
Isma‘il (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from ‘Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) that Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I bear witness before the Prophet (ﷺ).”
