What is Obligatory for a Person in Adhering to Hope and Avoiding Despair While They Adhere to Despair
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ لُزُومِ الرَّجَاءِ، وَتَرْكِ الْقُنُوطِ مَعَ لُزُومِهِ الْقُنُوطَ وَتَرْكَ الرَّجَاءِ
Sahl b. Sa'd reported it from Messenger of Allah ﷺ that a person performs deeds like the deeds of the people of Paradise apparently before people and he would be amongst the dwellers of Hell and a person acts apparently like the people of Hell, but (in fact) he would be among the dwellers of Paradise. (Using translation from Muslim 112b)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ»
