Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!). (at-Takathur 102/8) http://www.darultawhid.com/en/forum/index.php?topic=1862.0 Imam Baghawi (ra) in his tafsir narrated the following: 1- From Ibn Masoud (ra), -reporting it as a statement of RasulAllah (saw) who said: Security (peace) and health. (Narrated by Abdullah ibn Imam Ahmad in zawaaid Az-zuhd: pg. 157 & 390, and Aboo Nuaym in akhbaar Isbahaan: 2/157, and in it is Muhammad ibn Sulayman who is truthful but makes mistakes in narrations, and Ibn Abi Layla; who is truthful but is weak in memorization. And it is also narrated by Hinaad in zuhd as a statement of Ibn Masoud: 2/102, and at-Tabari: 30/285, and al-Bayhaqi in Shub al-Eeman: 8/494.) 2- Qataada (ra) said: Verily Allah will ask every person who had blessings; concerning what He blessed him with. And it is also narrated from him that he said: Security (peace) and health. (al-Bayhaqi: Shub al-Eeman: 8/494) 3- And from Aboo Hurayrah (ra), who said: RasulAllah (saw) said: The first thing that the slave will be asked in the Day of Judgement- from among the favours, it will be said to him: Did we not give you a good and healthy body? And gave you to drink the refreshing cool water.? (Narrated by at-Tirmidhi in the tafsir of suratul Takathur: 9/290; and he said: this is a gharib hadith. And Ibn Hibbaan: no. 2585, and al-Hakim authenticated it: 4/138, and ad-Dhahabi agreed with him in al-Shub: 8/489, and al-Albaani authenticated it in Silsilah Sahiha: no.539, 2/66-67) 4- And it is narrated from Ibn Abbas (ra): who said: The favours: health of the body, the hearing, and the sight. Allah will ask the slaves on what did they use them in? And indeed He is most Knowledgeable of that than them. And this (meaning) is the statement of Allah: Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allah). (al-Isra 17/36) (Narrated by at-Tabari: 30/289, and al-Bayhaqi in Shub al-Eeman: 8/493. And its chain is Hasan, but there is a gap in the chain. And as-Suyuti increased in ad-Durr: 8/612 and strengthened it Ibn Abi Haatim and Ibn Mardawiyyah. see the notes on Shub al-Eeman.) 5- Al-Ikrimah (ra) said: (you will be questioned) Regarding health and time. 6- Sa'ed Ibn Jubayr (ra) said: (You will be questioned) Regarding health and time and wealth. 7- Muhammad ibn Kab (ra) said: It means (you will be questioned) on the favours which your were blessed with through RasulAllah (saw). 8- Abu Aaliyah (ra) said: (You will be questioned) Regarding Islam and your life span. 9- Al-Hasan ibn Fadhl (ra) said: (you will be questioned) on the easiness of the Shariah, and the easiness of The Quran. (meaning: did you take advantage and be thankful in worshipping Allah.) Ibn Jarir at-Tabari (ra) in his tafsir narrated the following: 10- Then Allah (awj) will ask you regarding the favours which you had in the world: In What did you use them? And where did they take you? And with what did you earn by them? And what did you do with them? 11- From Abi Aasim who said: Sufyan (at-Thawri) (ra) said: It reached us that the meaning of His statement: Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the favours. It is: Security (peace) and health. 12- And from Ismail ibn Iyaash, from Abdulaziz ibn Abdullaah, who said that he heard As-Shabi (ra) say: The Favours that will be asked on - on the Day of Judgment- are: Security (peace) and health. Shawkani in Fath ul qadir related the following: 13- It means (you will be questioned) on the favours of the world; which busied you from doing the righteous actions. 14- al-Bayhaqi narrates a narration from Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) who said: The favours: its the well-being . 15- Ibn al-Mardawiyyah narrates from Abu Dardaa (ra) who said that RasulAllah (saw) said concerning this verse: Eating of the bread made of wheat (The bread made of wheat was considered as a luxury food!), and sleep in the nice shadows, and drinking of the nice sweet cool water. Raising this as a statement of RasulAllah (saw) is not correct. So maybe it is from the statement of Abu Dardaa (ra). 16- It is narrated by Ibn Humaid, and Ibn Mundhir, and Ibn Abi Haatim, Ibn Mardawiyyah; from Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra), that he was asked the meaning of His statement: Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the favours. He (Ali) (ra) said: Eating of the bread made of wheat, and drinking of the nice sweet cool water, and the house he used to live in; These are the favours that a person will be questioned on. (Suyuti: Durr Al-Manthur) 17- And it is narrated from Ibn Abbas (ra) who said RasulAllah (saw) said: There are two blessings which many people do not make the most of and thus they lose out on them: good health and free time. (Ibn Mubarak in Zuhd: pg.2, and Imam Bukhari: 11/229) 18- And it is narrated from RasulAllah (saw) that he (saw) said: On the day of Judgment: The two feet of the son of Adam will not move in front of His Lord; until he is asked about five things: His age; how did he live it, His youth how did he use it, and his wealth where did he get it, and where did he spend it on, and (he will be asked) how did he act upon what he learned. (Silsilah as-Sahiha: 946)
