I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ through a palm grove belonging to some of the people of Madinah when he said, "Abu Hurayrah, those who have much are ruined, except for those who give like this, like this, and like this," three times, gesturing with his hands to his right, his left, and in front of him, "and how few they are."Then he walked on for a while and said, "Abu Hurayrah, shall I guide you to one of the treasures of Paradise?"I replied, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."He said, "There is no power and no strength except through Allah, and there is no refuge from Allah except in Him."Then he walked on for a while and said, "Abu Hurayrah, do you know what the right of people upon Allah is, and what the right of Allah upon people is?"I answered, "Allah and His Messenger know best."He said, "The right of Allah upon people is that they worship Him and associate nothing with Him. When they do that, it becomes His right not to punish them."
كنت أمشي مع رسول الله ﷺ في نخل لبعض أهل المدينة، فقال: يا أبا هريرة، هلك المكثرون، إلا من قال هكذا وهكذا وهكذا- ثلاث مرات: حتى بكفيه عن يمينه وعن يساره وبين يديه- وقليل ماهم. ثم مشى ساعة فقال: يا أبا هريرة، ألا أدلك على كنز من كنوز الجنة؟ فقلت: بلى يا رسول الله. فقال: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، ولا ملجأ من الله إلا إليه. ثم مشى ساعة فقال: يا أبا هريرة، هل تدري ما حق الناس على الله، وما حق الله على الناس؟ قلت: الله ورسوله أعلم. قال: فإن حق الله على الناس أن يعبدوه ولا يشركوا به شيئا، فإذا فعلوا ذلك فحق عليه أن لا يعذ بهم.
Narrated by Abdul-Razzaq (20547), and from him Ahmad (8085), from Mamar, from Ishaq, from Abu Kumayl bin Ziyad, from Abu Hurairah, who said, and then he mentioned it. Its chain of transmission is sahih, and the discussion of it is elaborated in the book on supplications and remembrances.A note, in the printed edition of Abdul-Razzaq it reads "Kuhayl bin Ziyad," which is a distortion, and the correct form is "Kumayl bin Ziyad," as found in Musnad Ahmad and other sources.Ibn Majah (4131) and Ahmad (9526) both narrated it, from the route of Yahya bin Saeed Qattan, from Muhammad bin Ajlan, from his father, from Abu Hurairah, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Those who possess much are the lowest, except one who gives away his wealth like this and like this and like this," in front of him, to his right, to his left, and behind him. Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Muhammad bin Ajlan and his father, for the two of them render the hadith hasan.
