The disappearance of honesty
عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ عَبْدًا نَزَعَ مِنْهُ الْحَيَاءَ فَإِذَا نَزَعَ مِنْهُ الْحَيَاءَ لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلَّا مَقِيتًا مُمَقَّتًا فَإِذَا لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلَّا مَقِيتًا مُمَقَّتًا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ الْأَمَانَةُ فَإِذَا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ الْأَمَانَةُ لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلَّا خَائِنًا مُخَوَّنًا فَإِذَا لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلَّا خَائِنًا مُخَوَّنًا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ فَإِذَا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلَّا رَجِيمًا مُلَعَّنًا فَإِذَا لَمْ تَلْقَهُ إِلَّا رَجِيمًا مُلَعَّنًا نُزِعَتْ مِنْهُ رِبْقَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet (pbuh) said: ‘When Allah wants to destroy a person, He takes away modesty from him, you will only see him with the wrath of Allah upon him, and he will be hated by people. When you only see him with the wrath of Allah upon him, and hated by people, then honesty will be taken away from him, and when honesty is taken away from him, you will only see him as a traitor who is called such by others. When you only see him as a traitor who is called such by others, then mercy will be taken away from him, and when mercy is taken away from him, you will only see him as rejected and accursed, and when you only see him as rejected and accursed, then the bond of Islam will be taken away from him.’
(Hadith translation taken from https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah/36/129)
Lessons:
1. One should preserve one’s modesty, as modesty forges the bond of Islam.
2. When one loses one’s modesty, other attributes follow suit:
a) he will be hated by others
b) he loses trustworthiness
c) he will be rid of mercy
d) he becomes among the accursed
e) eventually, he loses the bond of Islam
Let us preserve our faith by preserving our modesty!
