ahmad-zuhd:2349ʿAbdullāh from my father > Ḥusayn b. Maḥammad > Fuḍayl b. Sulaymān > Muḥammad b. Muṭarrif > al-Thiqah

[Machine] That a young man from the Ansar entered his heart fear of the Fire, so he sat in the house. Then the Prophet ﷺ came to him in the house and approached him. The young man embraced him and started to sob heavily until his soul came out. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Prepare your companion, for fear of the Fire has caused his liver to split."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٣٤٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُطَرِّفٍ حَدَّثَنِي الثِّقَةُ

أَنَّ شَابًّا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ دَخَلَ خَوْفُ النَّارِ قَلْبَهُ فَجَلَسَ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ فَاعْتَنَقَهُ وَشَهِقَ شَهْقَةً خَرَجَتْ نَفْسُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «جَهِّزُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ فَلَذَ خَوْفُ النَّارِ كَبِدَهُ»
