Considering One's Superiority
To Be in
Wealth Rather than in Awareness of God
People will be judged by their wealth,
and respect will be shown to people according
to their wealth. These qualities are signs
of Doomsday, for:
It
becomes obvious that the Hour is drawing
near … When people esteem the well-off,
and people who are superior to him
stand up and salute him. (Mukhtasar
Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, pp. 480-81)
Before
the Hour comes, there will be special
greeting for the people of distinction.
(Ibn Ahmad Hanbal)
