Who are those whom Allah will shade with His Shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His?

The seven categories of people whom Allah will shade with His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade are mentioned in authentic narrations. They include: a just ruler, a youth who grew up in the worship of his Lord, a man whose heart is attached to the mosques, two men who love each other for Allah's sake, a man who is tempted by a woman of high status and beauty but says, 'Indeed, I fear Allah,' a man who gives charity and conceals it, and a man who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes overflow with tears.

Explanation of the descriptions: - "With His Shade": An addition of honor, or His grace and protection, or the shade of His Throne. - "A just ruler": Refers to the supreme ruler or anyone who acts justly in the affairs of Muslims, and is mentioned first due to the immense benefit he brings. - "A youth who grew up in the worship of his Lord": A youth is specified due to the strength of his desires, and his continuous devotion to worship indicates the dominance of piety. - "His heart is attached to the mosques": Signifies prolonged attachment of the heart to the mosque, or intense love for it. - "Two men who love each other for Allah's sake": They maintained their religious love, and no worldly obstacle severed it. - "A man who is tempted by a woman of high status and beauty": He refrained from immorality out of fear of Allah. - "A man who gives charity and conceals it": He went to great lengths to hide his charity. - "A man who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes overflow with tears": He remembered Allah with his heart or tongue in solitude, away from ostentation, and wept.

Women share in these virtues, with the exception of supreme leadership, and for a woman, her prayer in her home is better than in the mosque, so prolonged attachment to the mosque is not applicable to her in the same way. There are others whom Allah will shade with His Shade, mentioned in other narrations, such as shading the warrior (ghazi), aiding the mujahid, granting respite to the one in financial difficulty, and others.
