Commentary:
This Hadith shows the value of the Hereafter and its blessings compared to the worldly life. The
proportion between the two is that the former is like an ocean while the latter is like the proportion of water left on
one's finger when dipped in the sea!.

Jabir bin `Abdullah (May allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was passing
through the bazaar with his Companions on his both sides, when he saw a dead skinny lamb. He held its ear and
said,
"Who of you would like to have it for a dirham".
They replied, "We do not like to get it for nothing, and what
shall we do with it?". Then he (PBUH) asked,
"Would you like to have it for nothing?".
They replied, "Had it been
alive, it would have been defective because it is skinny; but when dead it is of no use". Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
said,
"Truly, the world is more contemptible to Allah than this (the dead lamb) is to you".
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith also shows the futility of this world for which one struggles so madly throughout his
life. It is also an indication that the Prophet (PBUH) used to seize the right opportunities to guide and teach his
followers.

Abu Dharr (May allah be pleased with him) reported: I was walking with the Prophet on the stony ground in
Al-Madinah in the afternoon when Uhud Mount came into sight. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"O Abu Dharr!''
I said, "O Messenger of Allah, here I am responding to you". He said,
"If I had as much gold as the weight of Uhud,
it would not please me to have a single dinar out of it with me after the passage of three days, but I would hold back
something for the repayment of a debt. I would distribute it among the slaves of Allah like this and like this and like
this.''
And he (PBUH) pointed in front of him, and on his right side and on his left side. We then walked a little
further and he (PBUH) said:
"The rich would be poor on the Day of Resurrection, except he who spent like this and
like this and like this,". and he pointed as he did the first time. "But such persons are few".
Then he said,
"Stay
where you are till I come back to you".
He (the Prophet (PBUH)) walked ahead a little further in the darkness of the
night and disappeared from my sight. I heard a loud voice. I said (to myself): "The Messenger of Allah might have
met (mishap or an enemy)".
I
wished I could go after him but I remembered his commanding me to stay till he came
back
.
So I waited for him; and when he came, I made mention of what I had heard. He asked,
"Did you hear it?"
. I
said, "Yes". Then he said,
"It was Jibril (Gabriel), who came to me and said: `He who dies among your Ummah
without having associated anything with Allah (in worship) will enter Jannah.' I said: `Even if he committed illicit
sexual intercourse or steals?' He (Jibril) said: `Even if he has committed illicit sexual intercourse or steals".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The last portion of this Hadith means that a Muslim, having firm faith in the Oneness of Allah, will
go to Jannah even if he has committed major sins in his life. If Allah wills, he will be sent straight to Jannah, or he
will be sent there after suffering punishment in Hell for sometime. Some scholars have associated this Hadith with
such persons who make repentance at the time when they are close to death and then they do not get time to do good
or bad deeds. Almighty Allah will pardon even their major sins without giving them any punishment.
This Hadith also tells us that it is permissible, rather essential, to reserve some money for the payment of loan
because its repayment is far more important than giving
(voluntary alms).
It also mentions the piety of the Prophet (PBUH) and his passion for spending in the way of Allah.
