Explanation of the hadith: By Allah, there is no true life except that of the Here…

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that true life is none other than the life of the Hereafter in Allah's pleasure, mercy, and Paradise because the life of this world is fleeting, while the life of the Hereafter is everlasting and eternal. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then supplicated for forgiveness, honor, and righteousness for the Ansār, who welcomed and supported the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), assisted the Emigrants, and even shared their wealth with them—as well as for the Muhājirūn, who left behind their homes and possessions seeking the bounty and pleasure of Allah.
