Showing Gratitude to Allah for His Blessings

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of showing gratitude to Allah for His blessings and not being arrogant.

Abu al-Ahwas quoted his father saying: I came to the Prophet wearing a poor garment and he said (to me): Have you any property? He replied: Yes. He asked: What kind is it? He said: Allah has given me camels. Sheep, horses and slaves. He then said: When Allah gives you property, let the mark of Allah's favour and honour to you be seen.
حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ فِي ثَوْبٍ دُونٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَكَ مَالٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ مِنْ أَىِّ الْمَالِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قَدْ أَتَانِيَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَالْخَيْلِ وَالرَّقِيقِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَإِذَا أَتَاكَ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَلْيُرَ أَثَرُ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَكَرَامَتِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of showing gratitude to Allah for His blessings and not being arrogant. It was narrated by Abu al-Ahwas, who quoted his father saying that he came to the Prophet wearing a poor garment and he asked him if he had any property. He replied that Allah has given him camels, sheep, horses and slaves. The Prophet then said that when one is blessed with property from Allah, they should show it as a mark of honour from Him. This teaches us that we should be grateful for all the blessings we receive from Allah and never forget them or take them for granted. We should also remember that these are gifts from Him so we must show humility in our attitude towards them even if we have been blessed with wealth or power in this world.
