Tafseer of Ayat 31. (Pharaoh) said: "Show it then what your Lord really is, if thou tellest the truth!" 32. So (Moses PBUH ) threw his rod on the floor, and behold, it was a giant serpent, plain and simple (for all to see the gift from his Lord)! 33. And he withdrew out his hand from his sides, and behold, it was shiny white to all beholders!   

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah does not look at your figures, nor at your attire but He looks at your hearts and accomplishments".

[Muslim Book 32, Chapter 08, Hadith # 6221]. 

 

Lesson : This Hadith highlights the importance of sincerity and good intention. It is, therefore, essential that every noble action should be based on these two virtues; and heart should be free from all such things that destroy noble deeds. Hypocrisy, ostentation, greed for wealth, riches and other worldly things fall in the category of such evils. Since the true condition of heart is known to Allah alone, the true position of one's actions will be known on the Day of Resurrection when one will be requited for them by Allah. In this world, one will be treated according to his apparent condition while his insight will be left to Allah.
