Sunan Ibn Majah 1065 (Book 5, Hadith 263) #30417
Accepting Allah's Charity

SUMMARY: The hadith is about accepting Allah's charity and mercy, even when there is security and safety.

It was narrated that Ya’la bin Umayyah said: "I asked 'Umar bin Khattab: 'Allah says: "And when you travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten the prayer if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you), verily, the disbelievers are ever to you open enemies," 4:101 but now there is security and people are safe.’ He said: 'I found it strange just as you do, so I asked the Messenger of Allah about that, and he said: "It is charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قُلْتُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ، فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of accepting Allah’s charity and mercy, even when there is security and safety. It was narrated by Yala bin Umayyah that he asked 'Umar bin Khattab about a verse in the Quran which states that if one fears being attacked while travelling, they can shorten their prayer. 'Umar found this strange so he asked the Messenger of Allah about it, to which he replied that it was a charity from Allah which should be accepted. This hadith teaches us to accept all forms of blessings from God with gratitude, even if we don't understand why He has given them to us. We should also remember that these blessings are not permanent; they can be taken away at any time so we must make sure to use them wisely while we have them.
