What is the interpretation of the meanings of the words and the explanation of the Hadith: “Indeed, Allah despises every Ja'dhari, Jawwāẓ, Sakhkhāb in the markets, a corpse by night, a donkey by day, knowledgeable about worldly matters but ignorant of the Hereafter.”?
The Hadith was narrated by Ahmad, Al-Bayhaqi, and Ibn Hibban, and authenticated by Al-Albani. "Al-Ja'dhari" refers to the arrogant person who is unyielding to admonition, or who is rude and harsh, and may boast about things he does not possess. "Al-Jawwāz" refers to a person who eats and drinks excessively, is insolent and ungrateful, or who walks with arrogance and is coarse and rough. "Al-Sakhkhāb" is someone who frequently quarrels and raises his voice in the markets. "A corpse by night" is a metaphor for his excessive sleep, idleness, and failure to perform the night prayer. "A donkey by day" means he is dull in his understanding, engrossed in his worldly affairs, and does not turn to obedience. He is knowledgeable about his worldly matters but ignorant of his religion. The Hadith encourages Muslims to distance themselves from these blameworthy characteristics.
