Abdur Rahman bin Aban bin Uthman narrated from his father Aban that Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) came out from Marwan bin Al-Hakam at midday. I said that his coming out from Marwan at this time means that Marwan has asked him about something. So I went to Zaid and inquired from him, and he said: Yes, Marwan asked me about the hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace be upon him) said:“May Allah keep fresh the person who hears a hadith from us and memorizes it and conveys it to one who is more mindful of it than himself, for sometimes the bearer of fiqh is not a faqih, and sometimes the bearer of fiqh conveys it to one who is more mindful of it than himself. Any Muslim whose heart holds fast to three qualities will enter Paradise.”Aban said: I asked, what are those three qualities? He replied:“To make one’s deeds sincere for Allah, to wish well for the Muslim rulers, and to remain attached to the congregation of Muslims, for the supplication of the Muslims encompasses them from behind. And whoever’s intention is for the Hereafter, Allah makes his heart content and gathers his scattered affairs, and the world comes to him willingly. And whoever’s intention is for the world, Allah scatters his affairs and places poverty between his eyes, and he gets nothing from the world except what has been decreed for him.”Aban said: I asked you which is the middle prayer (Salat al-Wusta), so he replied: The Zuhr prayer.
