[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is not one of you except that Allah will speak to him, with no interpreter between them. He will look to his right and see only his own actions, then he will look to his left and see only his own actions, then he will look ahead and see the Fire. So whoever among you can protect his face from the Fire, even if it is by giving half a date as charity."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إلَّا سَيُكَلِّمُهُ اللهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ تَرْجُمَانٌ فَيَنْظُرُ أيْمَنَهُ فَلَا يَرَى إلَّا عَمَلَهُ وَيَنْظُرُ أشْأَمَهُ فَلَا يَرَى إلَّا عَمَلَهُ ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ أَمَامَهُ فَيَرَى النَّارَ فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ وَجْهَهُ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ»

bukhari:6539ʿUmar b. Ḥafṣ from my father > al-Aʿmash > Khaythamah > ʿAdī b. Ḥātim

The Prophet ﷺ said, "There will be none among you but will be talked to by Allah on the Day of Resurrection, without there being an interpreter between him and Him (Allah) . He will look and see nothing ahead of him, and then he will look (again for the second time) in front of him, and the (Hell) Fire will confront him. So, whoever among you can save himself from the Fire, should do so even with one half of a date (to give in charity).

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be none among you but his Lord will talk to him, and there will be no interpreter between him and Allah. He will look to his right and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look to his left and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look in front of him and see nothing but the (Hell) Fire facing him. So save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a date (given in charity)." Al-Aʿmash said: ʿAmr bin Murra said, Khaithama narrated the same and added, '..even with a good word.' "

tirmidhi:2415Hannād > Abū Muʿāwiyah > al-Aʿmash > Khaythamah > ʿAdī b. Ḥātim

"There is no man among you except that his Lord shall converse with him on the Day of Judgement, there being no interpreter between him and Him (Allah). Then he looks to the south (his right) and does not see anything except the things he put forward (of good), then he looks to the north (his left) and he does not see anything except the things he put forward (of evil), then he turns to look before him to find he is facing the Fire." The Messenger of Allah SAW, said: "Whoever among you is able to protect his face from [the heat of] the Fire – even with a piece of a date - then let him do so." (Sahih)  

[Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih]. Abu As-Sã'ib narrated to us: "One day, Waki' narrated this Hadith to us from Al-'Amash. When Waki' was finished with this Hadith, he said: 'Whoever is present from the inhabitants of Khurãsãn, then let him seek the reward of spreading this Hadith in Khurãsãn." Abu 'Eisa said: The Jahmiyyah rejected this. [Abu As-Sã'ib's name is Salam bin Junadah bin Khãlid bin Jäbir bin Samurah Al-Kufi]. This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
