What is the meaning of the noble Hadith: "Allah commanded me with nine things, and I command you with them: He commanded me with sincerity in secret and in public, with justice in contentment and anger, with moderation in poverty and wealth, that I give to him who withholds from me, and pardon him who wrongs me, and that my speech be remembrance, my silence be contemplation, and my gaze be a lesson"?

The hadith mentioned in Mishkat al-Masabih was narrated by Razin, and no one commented on its chain of transmission. It is supported by what came in Imam Ahmad's Musnad and was authenticated by al-Arna'ut, and similar to it in Sahih Ibn Hibban and Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq as a mawquf (وقف) narration. Al-Albani graded as hasan (good) the hadith: "Three are salvific: fearing Allah in secret and in public, moderation in poverty and wealth, and justice in anger and contentment." The meaning of the hadith is that a Muslim is commanded to be sincere in action for Allah, to be just and fair with people in all circumstances, to be moderate and balanced in all their affairs, to give to those who deprive them, to forgive those who wrong them, to suppress their anger, and to have their speech be the remembrance of Allah, their silence contemplation, and their gaze a lesson.
