Selected Narrations From the Chapter on Asceticism (az-Zuhd) and Piety (al-Wara` - which means to keep oneself from doubtful matters lest one should indulge in forbidden things unknowingly) from Ibn Hajar’s Buloogh ul Maraam with notes from Subul us-Salaam by as-San`aanee [publ. by Dar as-Salam].

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, said, "The slave of the Dinaar, the slave of the Dirham, and the slave of bordered silk cloak are wretched. If such a one is given anything he is pleased, but if not he is displeased." [Al-Bukhaari]

It alludes to a voracious person or a man of greed. If such a person keeps acquiring some gratuities regularly, he will continue to be pleased and contended with Allah. But if such a person does not gain anything, he will not only be displeased with Allah, but will also be subjecting himself to a condition of heart-burning of a constant nature.

Narrated Ibn `Umar, radhiallaahu `anhu,: Allah’s Messenger, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, said: "He who imitates any people is one of them." [Aboo Daawood reported it; Ibn Hibbaan graded it Saheeh]

Narrated Ibn `Abbaas, radhiallaahu `anhu: One day I was riding behind the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, when he said, "Lad, be mindful of Allaah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you fill find Him before you, when you ask (for anything) ask it from Allah, and if you ask help, seek help in Allah." [Reported by at-Tirmidhee, who verified it as a Hasan and Saheeh]

Remembering of Allah suggests that one should have full cognizance of and pay attention to both the Divine rules as well as interdictions. Being remembered by Allah means that Allah will deliver his slave from the hardships of this world and the Hereafter. This Hadith inculcates an absolute monotheism which is to be cherished and imbedded with perfection. The Hadith thus goes that he world to its entirety, is neither capable of inflicting any harm on you nor could it do you any good. Whatsoever Allah wills and commands, shall happen. From Islaam.com
