Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2706c
This narration from Anas b. Malik says that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sought refuge in Allah from the things mentioned in the previous Hadith and from miserliness too. The text is short, so the explanation should stay focused. It highlights that miserliness is included among the matters the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sought Allah’s protection from. In the related wording, the supplication is connected to incapacity, laziness, cowardice, senility, the torment of the grave, and trials. But this specific narration draws attention to miserliness. It reminds the reader that bad inner traits are also matters for dua. A person asks Allah not only for safety from outside harm, but also for protection from harmful qualities within.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sought refuge from miserliness.
- Bad inner traits are matters to seek Allah’s protection from.
- This narration points back to the previously mentioned refuge supplication.
- Short reports should be explained without adding new claims.
