Leave Behind Non-Beneficial Things

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلاَمِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لاَ يَعْنِيْهِ 

From Abu Hurairah RA he said: The Messenger of Allah SAW said: It is a good sign of a person's Islam that he leaves something that is not useful to him.

(Sunan Tirmidhi No: 2239)

Status: Hadith Hasan 

Learnings

1. Among the characteristics of a Muslim is that he occupies himself with noble and beneficial things for himself, his family, the community and the country. 

2. Among the nature of a Muslim is to stay away from things that do not benefit him, useless actions, as well as sins and vices. 

3. Busy yourself with something that is not beneficial is wasteful and is a sign of weakness of faith for example playing games, watching entertainment videos, producing and spreading defamatory videos or tiktok. 

4. It is wise to take advantage of time with something beneficial for the world and the hereafter. Because the time that has passed will not return. Use the available time with useful activities such as reading the Quran, reading useful materials, writing to produce articles that can be shared and so on. 

5. Be helpful to others.  Hadith of the Prophet SAW 

خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَنْفَعُهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ 

The best people are the people who are most beneficial to others.

(HR Ibn Hibban No: 2/48) 

6. Take the example of previous people like Pak Hamka when he was in prison he managed to produce Tafsir al-Azhar. Syed Qutb when imprisoned was able to produce tafsir fi Zilal. 

Let's make ourselves beneficial to family members, beneficial to friends on social media as well as to society as a whole.
