عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: سبعة يظلهم الله تعالى في ظله يوم لا ظل إلا ظله إمام عدل وشاب نشأ في عبادة الله ورجل قلبه معلق في المساجد ورجلان تحابا في الله اجتمعا عليه وتفرقا عليه ورجل دعته امرأة ذات منصب وجمال فقال إني أخاف الله ورجل تصدق بصدقة فأخفاها حتى لا تعلم شماله ما تنفق يمينه ورجل ذكر الله خاليا ففاضت عيناه (صحيح البخاري رقم 1423)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) report that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “There are seven categories of people whom Allah Ta‘ala will enter into His special shade (i.e. the shade of His throne) on the day when there will be no shade besides His shade; the just leader, the youth who grew up in the worship and obedience of Allah Ta‘ala, the man whose heart would remain attached to the musjid, the two men who used to love each other, meet each other and separate from one another for the sake of (gaining) Allah’s love, the man whom a woman of high status and exceptional beauty invited to commit zina, yet he refrained and said, ‘I fear Allah’, the man who gave some sadaqah and concealed it, to the extent that his left hand did not know what his right hand had spent, and the man who remembered Allah Ta‘ala in seclusion and shed tears (out of the love and fear of Allah Ta‘ala).”

Note: There are many Ahaadith which explain the various categories of servants that will be under the shade of the throne of Allah on the Day of Qiyaamah. The number of these categories surpasses seven. However, in this Hadith, these seven categories are being highlighted and spoken about, as the common aspect in all is self-restraint in fulfilling the command of Allah and being overcome with the fear of Allah Ta‘ala.
