‘Umar bin Al Khattab reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “Actions are to be judged only by intentions and a man will have only what he intended. When one’s emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle, his emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle but his emigration is to a worldly end at which he aims or to a woman whom he marries , his emigration is to that for which he emigrated. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2201)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَلِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ»  

‘Umar bin Al Khattab reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “Actions are to be judged only by intentions and a man will have only what he intended. When one’s emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle, his emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle but his emigration is to a worldly end at which he aims or to a woman whom he marries , his emigration is to that for which he emigrated. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2201)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ وَلِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] "I was covered with the covering of the Kaaba, and in the mosque, there was a man from Thaqeef, whom the Quraysh people circumcised. They said, 'Do you think that Allah hears our conversation?' One of them said, 'Indeed, He hears us when we raise our voices.' Another man said, 'If He hears us when we raise our voices, then He would also hear us if we lower our voices.' And the other man said, 'I can only see that Allah hears our conversation.' Ibn Mas'ud said, 'So I went to the Prophet of Allahﷺ and informed him of their statement. Then Allah revealed the verse, 'And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins' until the end of the verse.'"  

كُنْتُ مُسْتَتِرًا بِحِجَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَفِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ فَقَالُوا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ حَدِيثَنَا؟ فقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا فقَالَ رَجُلٌ لَئِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا لَيَسْمَعَنَّ إِذَا أَخْفَيْنَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ مَا أَرَى إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ حَدِيثَنَا قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَتَيْتُ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ  

[Machine] "I was hidden behind the cover of the Ka'aba when three Khath'ami people arrived, who were well-off but lacked knowledge. They began to engage in conversation among themselves. One of them said, 'Do you think Allah hears what we say?' Another said, 'When we raise our voices, He hears us, but when we lower our voices, He does not.' The third one said, 'If He hears us when we raise our voices, then He hears us when we lower them.' I then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about this, so Allah revealed the verse, 'And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins.''"  

إِنِّي لَمُسْتَتِرٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ إِذْ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ ثَقَفِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ بُطُونِهِمْ قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُهُمْ فَتَحَدَّثُوا الْحَدِيثَ بَيْنَهُمْ فقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَتَرَى اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ مَا قُلْنَا؟ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا سَمِعَ وَإِذَا خَفَضْنَا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا خَفَضْنَا فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ «{وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ}» الْآيَةَ  

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Deeds are like vessels. If the lower part is good then the upper part will be good, and if the lower part is bad then the upper part will be bad.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4199)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّمَا الْعَمَلُ كَالْوِعَاءِ إِذَا طَابَ أَعْلَاهُ طَابَ أَسْفَلُهُ وَإِذَا خَبُثَ أَعْلَاهُ خَبُثَ أَسْفَلُهُ»  

“I do not know except that he attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ” – “Allah says: ‘O son of Adam, devote yourself to My worship, and I will fill your heart with contentment and take care of your poverty; but if you do not do that, then I will fill your heart with worldly concerns and will not take care of your poverty.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4107)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ تَفَرَّغْ لِعِبَادَتِي أَمْلَأْ صَدْرَكَ غِنًى وَأَسُدَّ فَقْرَكَ وَإِنْ لَا تَفْعَلْ مَلَأْتُ يَدَكَ شُغْلًا وَلَمْ أَسُدَّ فَقْرَكَ»  

Verily Allah does not look to your faces and your wealth but He looks to your heart and to your deeds. (Using translation from Muslim 2564c)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said: 'I am the best of partners. Whoever performs a deed and associates others with Me in it, I am free from it, and it is for the partner with whom he associated Me.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا خَيْرُ الشُّرَكَاءِ مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا فَأَشْرَكَ فِيهِ غَيْرِي فَأَنَا مِنْهُ بَرِئٌ هُوَ لِلَّذِي أَشْرَكَ بِهِ»  

[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, will Allah hold us accountable for what we used to do in the time of ignorance?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever does good in Islam will not be held accountable for what they did in the time of ignorance, and whoever does evil in Islam will be held accountable for both the past and the present."  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ أَحَدَنَا بِمَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحْسَنَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَمْ يُؤَاخَذْ بِمَا عَمِلَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ أُخِذَ بِالْأَوَّلِ وَالْآخِرِ»  

I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about virtue and vice. He said: Virtue is a kind disposition and vice is what rankles in your heart and that you disapprove that people should come to know of it. (Using translation from Muslim 2553a)   

سَمِعْتُ النَّوَّاسَ بْنَ سَمْعَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ فقَالَ «الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَكَّ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah will mention a group of people in this world who are reclining on prepared beds and admit them into the highest levels of Paradise."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيَذْكُرَنَّ اللَّهُ قَوْمًا فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْفُرُشِ الْمُمَهَّدَةِ يُدْخِلُهُمُ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue and hands. And a Muhajir (emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons) all what Allah has forbidden." (Using translation from Bukhārī 10)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ»  

Verily a person asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) who amongst the Muslims was better. Upon this (the Holy Prophet) remarked: From whose hand and tongue the Muslims are safe. (Using translation from Muslim 40)  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ»  

"There was a woman who performed Salat behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was the most beautiful among the people. Some of the people would go forward to the first line so as not to see her. Others would go back to the last line so when he would bow, he could look at her from under his armpit. So Allah revealed: Indeed We know those who try to come forward among you, and We know those who try to go back (15:24). (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3122)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَتْ تُصَلِّي خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ حَسْنَاءُ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ فَكَانَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَتَقَدَّمُ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ لِأَنْ لَا يَرَاهَا وَيَسْتَأْخِرُ بَعْضُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ فَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ نَظَرَ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي شَأْنِهَا {وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ}  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I not inform you about something that expiates sins and increases good deeds?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Performing the ablution perfectly even in difficult circumstances, frequenting the mosque despite difficulties, praying after prayers, and that no one of you leaves his house in a state of purification until he comes to the mosque and prays with the Muslims or with the Imam, and then waits for the following prayer except that the angels say, 'O Allah! Forgive him, O Allah! Have mercy on him.' When you stand up for prayer, straighten your rows and close the gaps. When the Imam says 'Allahu Akbar', say 'Allahu Akbar' as well, for I see you from behind. And when he says, 'Allah listens to the one who praises Him,' say, 'Our Lord! Praise be to You, and Yours is the praise.' The best rows for men are the front rows and the worst are the back rows, and the best rows for women are the back rows and the worst are the front rows. O women! When the men prostrate, protect your gaze from the dress of the men."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ يُكَفِّرُ الْخَطَايَا وَيَزِيدُ فِي الْحَسَنَاتِ؟ » قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ أَوِ الطُّهُورِ فِي الْمَكَارِهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ وَالصَّلَاةُ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيُصَلِّي مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَوْ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ ثُمَّ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا إِلَّا قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ فَإِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاعْدِلُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَسُدُّوا الْفُرَجَ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ فَكَبِّرُوا فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِي وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَخَيْرُ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ الْمُقَدَّمُ وَشَرُّ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ الْمُؤَخَّرُ وَخَيْرُ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ الْمُؤَخَّرُ وَشَرُّ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ الْمُقَدَّمُ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ إِذَا سَجَدَ الرِّجَالُ فَاحْفَظْنَ أَبْصَارَكُنَّ مِنْ عَوْرَاتِ الرِّجَالِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whatever Allah dislikes from you, do not do it when you are alone."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا كَرِهَ اللَّهُ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا فَلَا تَفْعَلْهُ إِذَا خَلَوْتَ»  

"My father informed me, from Ibn Mina, from ABu Sa'eed bin Abi Fadalah Al-Ansari - and he was one of the Companions - who said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When Allah gathers the people on the Day of Judgement - a Day in which there is no doubt in - a caller will call out: 'Whoever committed Shirk in any of his deeds he did for Allah - then let him seek his reward from other than Allah. For indeed Allah is the most free of the partners from any need of Shirk." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3154)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِيَوْمٍ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مَنْ كَانَ أَشْرَكَ فِي عَمَلِهِ لِلَّهِ أَحَدًا فَلْيَطْلُبْ ثَوَابَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give glad tidings to this Ummah (nation) with victory, honor, and empowerment. Whoever among them works for the sake of the Hereafter and prioritizes it over worldly matters, will have no share in the Hereafter."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «بَشِّرْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ بِالنَّصْرِ وَالسَّنَاءِ وَالتَّمْكِينِ فَمَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْهُمْ عَمَلَ الْآخِرَةِ لِلدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ نَصِيبٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have not heard anyone other than him (referring to someone) saying, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.' So, I approached him closely and heard him saying, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever listens to me, Allah will make him hear, and whoever sees me in a dream, Allah will make him see.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَنَوْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَمَّعَ يُسَمِّعُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ رَاءَى يُرَائِي اللَّهُ بِهِ»  

“Whoever wants to be heard of, Allah will make him heard of, and whoever wants to be seen, Allah will show him (i.e., expose his real motives).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4207)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَمَّعَ يُسَمِّعُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ رَاءَى يُرَائِي اللَّهُ بِهِ»  

" Who is this?" They said: "Abu Hurairah." (He said):So I got close to him until I was sitting in front of him as he was narrating to the people. When he was silent and alone, I said to him: " I ask youabsolute truth if you would narrate to me a Hadith which you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, That you understand and know." So Abu Hurairah said: "You want me to narrate a Hadith to you which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated to me that I understand and know." Then Abu Hurairah began sobbing profusely. We sat for a while, then he recovered and said: "I shall narrate to you a Hadith which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated in this House, while there was no one with us other than he and I." Then, again, Abu Hurairah began sobbing severely. Then he recovered, and wiped his face, and said: "you want me to narrate to you a Hadith which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated while he and I were sitting in this House, and no one was with us but he and I." Then Abu Hurairah began sobbing severely. Then he bent, falling on his face, so I supported him for a long time. Then he recovered and said: "The Messenger of Allah narrated to me that on the Day of Judgement, Allah, Most High, will descend to His slaves t judge between them. Every nation shall be kneeling. The first of those who will be called before him will be a man who memorized the Qur'an, and a man who was killed in Allah's cause, and a wealthy man. Allah will say to the reciter: 'Did I not teach you what I revealed to My Messenger?" He says: 'Of course O Lord!' He says: 'Then what did you do with what you learned?' He said: 'I would stand (in prayer reciting) with it during all hours of the night and all hours of the day.' Then Allah would say to him: 'You have lied.' And the angels will say: 'You have lied.'Allah will say to him: 'Rather, you wanted it to be said that so-and-so is a reciter. And that was said.' The person with the wealth will be brought, and Allah will say to him: 'Was I not so generous with you, such that I did not leave you having any need from anyone?' He will say: 'Of course O Lord!' He says: 'Then what did you do with what I gave to you?' He says: 'I would nurture the ties of kinship and give charity.' Then Allah will say to him: 'You have lied.' And the angels will say to him: 'You have lied.' Allah, Most High, will say: 'Rather, you wanted it to be said that so-and-so is so generous, and that was said.' Then the one who was killed in Allah's cause shall be brought, and Allah will say to him : 'For what were you killed?' So he says: 'I was commanded to fight in Your cause ,so I fought until I was killed.' Allah [Most High] will say to him: 'You have lied.' And the angels will say to him: 'You have lied.' Allah [Most High] will say: 'Rather, you wanted it be said that so-and-so is brave, and that was said.' "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺhit me on my knees and said: 'O Abu Hurairah! These first three are the creatures of Allah with whom the fire will be enflamed on the Day of Judgement.'" Al-Walid Abu 'Uthman Al-Mada'ini said: "So 'Uqbah bin Muslim informed me that Shaufaiy, is the one who entered upon Mu'awiyah to inform him about this." Abu Uthman said: 'This has been done with these people, then how about with those who remain among the people?" Then Mu'awiyah begin weeping so intensely, that we thought that he will kill himself with excessive weeping. We said: "This man came to us to cause evil." Then Mu'awiyah recovered, wiped off his face and said: "Allah and His Messenger told the truth: Whosoever desires the life of the world and its glitter, then we shall pay in full (the wages of) their deeds therein, and they shall have no diminution therein. They are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter Fire, and vain are the deeds they did therein. And of no effect is that which they used to do." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2382)   

أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَسْجِدَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى قَعَدْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا سَكَتَ وَخَلَا قُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْشُدُكَ بِحَقِّي لَمَا حَدَّثْتَنِي حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَقَلْتَهُ وَعَلِمْتَهُ فقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَفْعَلُ لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكَ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَقَلْتَهُ وَعَلِمْتُهُ ثُمَّ نَشَغَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ نَشْغَةً فَمَكَثَ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فقَالَ لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكَ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَهُوَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ مَا مَعَنَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُهُ ثُمَّ نَشَغَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ نَشْغَةً أُخْرَى فَمَكَثَ كَذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فَمَسَحَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فقَالَ أَفْعَلُ لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكَ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَهُوَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ مَا مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُهُ ثُمَّ نَشَغَ نَشْغَةً شَدِيدَةً ثُمَّ مَالَ خَارًّا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَاشْتَدَّ بِهِ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى الْعِبَادِ لِيَقْضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَكُلُّ أُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةٌ فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِهِ رَجُلٌ جَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ وَرَجُلٌ يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَرَجُلٌ كَثِيرُ الْمَالِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِلْقَارِئِ أَلَمْ أُعَلِّمْكَ مَا أَنْزَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِي ﷺ؟ قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ قَالَ فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتَ فِيمَا عَلِمْتَ؟ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَقُومُ بِهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَهُ كَذَبْتَ وَتَقُولُ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كَذَبْتَ وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ بَلْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يُقَالَ فُلَانٌ قَارِئٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ ذَاكَ وَيُؤْتَى بِصَاحِبِ الْمَالِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَلَمْ أُوَسِّعْ عَلَيْكَ حَتَّى لَمْ أَدَعْكَ تَحْتَاجُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ؟ قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ قَالَ فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتَ فِيمَا آتَيْتُكَ؟ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَأَتَصَدَّقُ؟ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ وَتَقُولُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ بَلْ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْيُ قَالَ فُلَانٌ جَوَادٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ ذَاكَ وَيُؤْتَى بِالَّذِي قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ فِي مَاذَا قُتِلْتَ؟ فَيَقُولُ أُمِرْتُ بِالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِكَ فَقَاتَلْتُ حَتَّى قُتِلْتُ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ وَتَقُولُ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كَذَبْتَ وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ بَلْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يُقَالَ فُلَانٌ جَرِئٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ ذَاكَ» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رُكْبَتِي فقَالَ «يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أُولَئِكَ الثَّلَاثَةُ أَوَّلُ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ تُسَعَّرُ بِهِمُ النَّارُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
