What is the meaning of the Hadith: "The three most difficult deeds are: remembrance of Allah in every state, being just to yourself, and showing empathy with wealth"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The aforementioned hadith: "The most arduous of deeds: remembrance of Allah in every state, fairness from oneself, and comforting a brother with wealth," is not authentically attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Its chain of narration is weak and mursal (lacks a companion in the chain).

Some scholars have mentioned that the meaning of: - "The most arduous of deeds" is: the most correct and righteous of them. - "Remembrance of Allah in every state" means: remembering Him in all circumstances, standing, sitting, secretly, openly, in prosperity and adversity. - "Fairness from oneself" means: treating others with justice and equity. - "Comforting a brother with wealth" means: improving the condition of your Muslim brother with your wealth when you are in a state of abundance.
