عن أبي هريرةَ رضي اللهُ عنه عن النبيّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال: «سبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُم الله في ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ: إِمامٌ عادِلٌ، وَشَابٌ نَشَأَ في عِبَادَةِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجلَّ، وَرَجُلٌ قَلْبُهُ مَعلَّقٌ في المَسَاجِدِ، ورَجُلان تَحَابَّا في اللهِ اجْتَمَعَا عَلَيْهِ، وَتَفَرَّقَا عَلَيْهِ، ورَجُلٌ دَعَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ، فقال: إِنِّي أَخافُ الله، وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بصَدَقَةٍ، فَأَخْفَاهَا حَتَّى لا تَعْلَمَ شِمَالُهُ ما تُنْفِقُ يَمِينُهُ، وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللهَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ» متفقٌ عليه.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Seven will Allah shade with His shade on the Day when there is no shade but His: a just ruler; a youth who grows up in the worship of Allah, Mighty and Majestic; a man whose heart is attached to the mosques; two men who love one another for the sake of Allah, meeting upon that and parting upon that; a man whom a woman of rank and beauty calls to herself, but he says, 'I fear Allah'; a man who gives charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand spends; and a man who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes overflow with tears." Agreed upon.
الشرح · explanation
سبعة: أي سبعة أصناف من الناس. في ظله: في ظل عرشه. إمام: الإمام صاحب الولاية العظمى، ويلحق به من ولي شيئًا من أمور المسلمين فعدل فيه. قلبه معلق في المساجد: أي مُحبٌّ لها منتظرٌ للصلاة فيها. ذات منصب: أي أصل وشرف. فاضت عيناه: بَكَتا وسال دمعهما.
Seven: that is, seven categories of people. In His shade: in the shade of His Throne. A ruler: the holder of supreme authority, and joined to him is anyone who takes charge of some of the affairs of the Muslims and acts justly therein. His heart is attached to the mosques: that is, he loves them and awaits the prayer within them. Of rank: that is, of noble origin and standing. His eyes overflow: they weep and their tears flow.

فضل الإمام العادل ورعاية الله له، وإنما قُدم على من بعده لكثرة المصالح المتعلقة به. فضل الشاب الذي لم يزاول المعاصي وجاهد نفسه فنشأ على طاعة ربه. فضل من يرتاد المساجد ويهفو قلبه إليها كلما خرج منها حبًّا في الصلاة وأنواع العبادة فيها. فضل الحب في الله الذي يجمع بين الإخوان لا على عَرَض دنيوي. فضل العفّة عند توفر دواعي المعصية خشية من الله. فضل صدقة السرّ التي لا تجرح شعور الفقير ولا تدعوا إلى الرياء. فضل مراقبة الله في السر وخشيته في الوحدة المفضية إلى البكاء ندمًا وتوبةً.
The merit of the just ruler and Allah's care for him; he was placed first before the others because of the many interests connected to him. The merit of the youth who has not engaged in sins but has striven against his soul and grown up in obedience to his Lord. The merit of one who frequents the mosques and whose heart yearns for them whenever he leaves them, out of love for prayer and the various acts of worship therein. The merit of love for the sake of Allah that unites brothers, not for any worldly gain. The merit of chastity when the motives for sin are present, out of fear of Allah. The merit of secret charity that neither wounds the feelings of the poor nor leads to showing off. The merit of being mindful of Allah in secret and fearing Him in solitude, leading to weeping in remorse and repentance.
