Avoiding Entrustment Through Hanging Something

SUMMARY: The Prophet (S.A.W) warned against hanging something as it can be a source of entrustment and death is better than that.

"'Eisa Ibn 'Abdur-Raman bin Abi Laila said: "I entered upon 'Abdullah bin 'Ukaim Abu Mabad Al-Juhani to visit him, while he had Humrah. I said:'Why don't you hang something?' He said: 'Death is better than that. The Prophet (S.A.W) said: "Whoever hangs something, he is entrusted to it". Another chain reports a similar narration.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَدُّويَهْ، قال حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عِيسَى، أَخِيهِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ أَعُودُهُ وَبِهِ حُمْرَةٌ فَقُلْنَا أَلاَ تُعَلِّقُ شَيْئًا قَالَ الْمَوْتُ أَقْرَبُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَعَلَّقَ شَيْئًا وُكِلَ إِلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَحَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ‏.‏ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُكَيْمٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ وَكَانَ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيِّ يَقُولُ كَتَبَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قال حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ،

QUICK LESSONS:
Avoiding commitments/entanglements whenever possible even if it means sacrificing comfort or convenience for doing so .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us against hanging something as it can be a source of entrustment, which is not desirable in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said that whoever hangs something, he is entrusted to it and death is better than that situation. This hadith teaches us to avoid entrustments as much as possible because they are not desirable in Islam and should be avoided at all costs even if it means sacrificing our comfort or convenience for the sake of avoiding them. We should also remember that death is always preferable over any kind of entanglement or commitment which we cannot fulfill due to any reason whatsoever, so we must take extra care when making decisions about such matters in our lives so that we do not end up regretting them later on down the line.
