ONE HADITH A DAY
Narrated by Ahmad · Authentic
عن تَميم الداري رضي الله عنه، قال: سمعتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «لَيَبْلُغَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرُ مَا بَلَغَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ، وَلَا يَتْرُكُ اللهُ بَيْتَ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ هَذَا الدِّينَ، بِعِزِّ عَزِيزٍ أَوْ بِذُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ، عِزًّا يُعِزُّ اللهُ بِهِ الإِسْلَامَ، وَذُلًّا يُذِلُّ اللهُ بِهِ الكُفْرَ» وَكَانَ تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ يَقُولُ: قَدْ عَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي، لَقَدْ أَصَابَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْهُمُ الْخَيْرُ وَالشَّرَفُ وَالْعِزُّ، وَلَقَدْ أَصَابَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ كَافِرًا الذُّلُّ وَالصَّغَارُ وَالْجِزْيَةُ.
“Tamīm ad-Dāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, this matter will reach everywhere the night and day have reached. Allah will not leave a dwelling in a city or a desert except that He will make this religion enter therein, thus honoring the honorable or humiliating the humiliated; an honor which Allah will bestow on Islam, and a humiliation which Allah will inflict on disbelief." Tamīm ad-Dāri used to say: I recognized this within members of my household; those of them who embraced Islam enjoyed good, honor, and high standing, and the disbelievers among them were subject to humiliation, disgrace, and Jizyah (protection tax).”
