Being free for worship,
Concern for Hereafter
(Al-Targhib Wal-Tarhib Hadith Series)

👤 Al-Mundhiri records in his book al-Targhib wal-Tarhib:

التَّرْغِيب فِي الْفَرَاغ لِلْعِبَادَةِ والإقبال على الله تَعَالَى والترهيب من الاهتمام بالدنيا والانهماك عَلَيْهَا

Encouragement to use free time for worship and turning to Allah Almighty, and discouragement from being concerned with the world and being consumed by it.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ تَعَالَى ابْنَ آدَمَ تَفَرَّغْ لِعِبَادَتِي أَمْلَأْ قَلْبَكَ غِنًى وَامْلَأْ يَدَيْكَ رِزْقًا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَا تَبَاعَدْ عَنِّي فَأَمْلَأْ قَلْبَكَ فَقْرًا وَأَمْلَأْ يَدَيْكَ شُغْلًا

Your Lord Almighty said: Son of Adam, be free for My worship. I will fill your heart with richness and fill your hands with provision. Son of Adam, do not distance yourself from Me, or else I will fill your heart with poverty and fill your hands with worthless distractions.

The sun never rises but that two angels are sent at its sides, calling out. They are heard by all the inhabitants of the earth except humans and jinn: O people, come quickly to your Lord! What is little and sufficient is better than what is abundant and negligent! The sun never sets but that two angels are sent at its sides, calling out. They are heard by all the inhabitants of the earth except humans and jinn: O Allah, repay one who spends in charity! O Allah, give destruction to one who withholds charity!
