Superiority of Poor, Weak and unrenowned Muslims
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And keep yourself (O Muhammad (PBUH)) patiently with those who call on their Rubb (i.e., your
companions who remember their Rubb with glorification, praising in prayers, and other righteous deeds)
morning and afternoon, seeking His Face, and let not your eyes overlook them.''
(18:28)

Harithah bin Wahb (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying,
"Shall I not inform you about the people of Jannah? It is every person who is, modest and humble (before Allah), a
person who is accounted weak and is looked down upon but if he adjures Allah, Allah will certainly give him what
he desires. Now shall I not inform you about the inmates of Hell? It is every violent, impertinent and proud man".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us about distinction of such weak, poor and secluded persons who do not have any
important position in society but are so eminent in the realm of piety that, out of their utmost trust in Allah, if they
take an oath for something, Almighty Allah fulfills their oath. Thus, this Hadith highlights the importance of
modesty and condemns pride, miserliness and lust for name and fame.

Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man passed by the Prophet (PBUH), so
he asked a man who was sitting near him,
"What is your opinion about this man?''
That man replied: "He is one of
the noblest men. By Allah he is certainly a proper person for (a girl) being given in marriage if he seeks to marry,
and his recommendation is fit to be accepted if he recommends". Messenger of Allah (PBUH) remained silent. Then
another man passed. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) enquired,
"What is your opinion about this man?''
He replied: "O
Messenger of Allah, he is one of the poor Muslims. He is not a proper person (for a girl) to be given in marriage to,
and his recommendation would not be accepted if he makes one; if he speaks, he is not to be listened to.'' Messenger
of Allah (PBUH) said,
"He is better than the former by earthfuls".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith contains the following two important points:
1. The distinction and greatness of such poor Muslims who are neither known in society because due to their poverty
nor are they respected by people. But due to their Faith and piety, each of them is better in the sight of Allah than
others. This Hadith makes it abundantly clear that what really matters with Allah is Faith and piety not lineage nor
pomp and show.
2. For marriage purposes, men and women of noble character should be selected even if they are poor because at the
level of religion they are on par with other Muslims. Thus, the principle underlined here is that the preference should
be given to the equality in respect of religion rather than worldly wealth and richness.
