Abu Al-Dardaa: Three Things I Love but Which the People Hate





Abu Al-Dardaa: Three Things I Love but Which the People Hate 



Abu al-Dardaa (radiallaahu anhu) said:
ثلاثة أحبهن ويكرههن الناس الفقر والمرض والموت أحب الفقر تواضعا لربي والموت اشتياقا لربي والمرض تكفيرا لخطيئتي
Three things I love but the people hate: Povertyillness and death. I love poverty out of humility to my Lord, and death out of fondness (of meeting) my Lord, and illness as expiation for my sin.
Al-Siyar of al-Dhahabi (2/349)
