The Hadith of the day

Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) showed us a sheet and a thick lower garment and said to us Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was wearing them when he died.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: The incident reported in this Hadith abundantly proves that the Prophet (PBUH) was not only austere in the matter of food but also in clothes and other worldly goods. He was contented with a minimum of necessities of life.

The Hadith of the day

Jabir bin `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

I heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying three days before his death: "Let none of you die unless he has good expectations from Allah".

[Muslim].

Commentary: This Hadith also tells us that one should always perform good deeds because no one knows the time of his death. At the time of death one must entertain hope for Allah's Pardon and Mercy which cannot be possible without good actions. Thus, this Hadith conveys the same meanings of the following Ayah:

"And die not except in a state of Islam (as Muslims)". (3:102).
