What is the meaning of "Indeed, Allah loves the rich, devout, and humble servant"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The authentic Hadith in Sahih Muslim states: "Indeed, Allah loves the pious, self-sufficient, and hidden servant." The pious (al-taqī) is one who performs obligations and abstains from prohibitions. The self-sufficient (al-ghanī) is one who is content in spirit. The hidden (al-khafī) is one who is obscure, devoted to worship. It was also said that "al-hafī" means one who maintains kinship ties and is kind to them and to others. In this Hadith, there is a merit in isolation during times of corruption or fear of tribulation.
