Fear (of Allah)

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the truthful and the receiver of the truth informed us, saying, "The creation of you (humans) is gathered in the form of semen in the womb of your mother for forty days, then it becomes a clinging thing in similar (period), then it becomes a lump of flesh like that, then Allah sends an angel who breathes the life into it; and (the angel) is commanded to record four things about it: Its provision, its term of life (in this world), its conduct; and whether it will be happy or miserable. By the One besides Whom there is no true god! Verily, one of you would perform the actions of the dwellers of Jannah until there is only one cubit between him and it (Jannah), when what is foreordained would come to pass and he would perform the actions of the inmates of Hell until he enter it. And one of you would perform the actions of the inmates of Hell, until there is only one cubit between him and Hell. Then he would perform the acts of the dwellers of Jannah until he would enter it."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن ابن مسعود، رضي الله عنه ، قال: حدثنا رسول الله ﷺ، وهو الصادق المصدوق: "إن أحدكم يجمع خلقه في بطن أمه أربعين يوماً نطفةً، ثم يكون علقة مثل ذلك، ثم يكون مضغةً مثل ذلك، ثم يرسل الملك، فينفخ فيه الروح، ويؤمر بأربع كلمات: يكتب رزقه، وأجله، وعمله، وشقى أم سعيد. فوالذي لا إله غيره إن أحدكم ليعمل بعمل أهل الجنة حتى ما يكون بينه وبينها إلى ذراع، فيسبق عليه الكتاب ، فيعمل بعمل أهل النار فيدخلها، وإن أحدكم ليعمل بعلم أهل النار حتى ما يكون بينه وبينها إلا ذراع، فيسبق عليه الكتاب فيعمل بعمل أهل الجنة فيدخلها" ((متفق عليه)) .

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hell will be brought on that Day (the Day of Resurrection) with seventy thousand bridles; and with every bridle will be seventy thousand angels, pulling it".

[Muslim].

وعنه قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ " يؤتى بجهنم يومئذ لها سبعون ألف زمام مع كل زمام سبعون ألف ملك يجرونها " (( رواه مسلم)).

Nu'man bin Bashir (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The least tortured man on the Day of Resurrection is one underneath whose feet will be placed two live coal, and his brain will be boiling, and he would think that he is the most tortured, while he is the least tortured",

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن النعمان بن بشير رضي الله عنهما قال : سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: إن أهون أهل النار عذابا يوم القيامة لرجل يوضع في أخمص قدميه جمرتان يغلي منهما دماغه، ما يرى أن أحد أشد منه عذابا، وإنه لأهونهم عذابا" (( متفق عليه))

Samurah bin Jundub (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Among the people of Hell are there those who will be emersed in fire to their ankels, some to their knees, some to their waists, and some to their throats".

[Muslim].

وعن سمرة بن جندب، رضي الله عنه، أن نبى الله، ﷺ قال: " منهم من تأخذه النار إلى كعبيه، ومن من تأخذ إلى ركبتيه، ومنهم من تأخذه إلى حجزته، ومنهم من تأخذه إلى ترقوته" ((رواه مسلم)). (3)

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying, "Mankind will stand before Allah, the Rubb of the worlds (on the Day of Resurrection), some of them will stand submerged in perspiration up to half of their ears".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله، ﷺ، قال" يقوم الناس لرب العالمين حتى يغيب أحدهم في رشحه إلى أنصاف أذنيه" ((متفق عليه)) . (4)

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a Khutbah to us the like of which I had never heard from him before. He said, "If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much". Thereupon those present covered their faces and began sobbing.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Another narration is: Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard of something about his Companions upon which he addressed them and said, "Jannah and (Hell) Fire were shown to me and I have never seen the like of this day in good and in evil. If you were to know what I know, you would laugh little and weep much". His Companions experienced such suffering on that day that had no equal. They covered their faces and began to weep.

[Al-Bukhari].

وعن أنس، رضي الله عنه، قال: خطبنا رسول الله، ﷺ خطبة ما سمعت مثلها قط، فقال: "لو تعلمون ما أعلم لضحكتم قليلاً ولبكيتم كثيراً" فغطى أصحاب رسول الله، ﷺ وجوههم، ولهم خنين. ((متفق عليه)) . وفي رواية: بلغ رسول الله، ﷺ عن أصحابه شئ فخطب ، فقال: "عرضت على الجنة والنار، فلم أر كاليوم في الخير والشر، ولو تعلمون ما أعلم لضحكتم قليلا، ولبكيتم كثيراً" فما أتى على أصحاب رسول الله، ﷺ يوم أشد منه، غطوا رؤوسهم ولهم خنين.وفي رواية: بلغ رسول الله، ﷺ عن أصحابه شئ فخطب ، فقال: "عرضت على الجنة والنار، فلم أر كاليوم في الخير والشر، ولو تعلمون ما أعلم لضحكتم قليلا، ولبكيتم كثيراً" فما أتى على أصحاب رسول الله، ﷺ يوم أشد منه، غطوا رؤوسهم ولهم خنين.

Al-Miqdad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come so close to people that there would be left only a distance of one Meel". Sulaim bin 'Amir said: By Allah, I do not know whether he meant by "Meel", the mile of the distance measure or the stick used for applying antimony powder to the eye. (Messenger of Allah ﷺ is, however, reported to have said:) "The people then will be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds, some up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up to the waist and some will have the bridle of perspiration (reaching their mouth and nose) and, while saying this Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed to his mouth with his hand".

[Muslim].

وعن المقداد، رضي الله عنه، قال: سمعت رسول الله، ﷺ يقول: "تدنى الشمس يوم القيامة من الخلق حتى تكون منهم كمقدار ميل" قال سليم بن عامر الراوى عن المقداد: فوالله ما أدري ما يعني الميل، أمسافة الأرض أم الميل الذي يكحل به العين "فيكون الناس على قد أعمالهم في العرق، فمنهم من يكون إلى كعبيه، ومنهم من يكون إلى ركبتيه، ومنهم من يكون إلى حقوبه، ومنهم من يلجمه العرق إلجاماً" وأشار رسول الله، ﷺ، بيده إلى فيه ((رواه مسلم)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The people will perspire on the Day of Resurrection and their perspiration will be seventy cubits down in the earth and it will reach up to their ears (they will be bridled with it)".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه ، أن رسول الله ﷺ، قال: "يعرق الناس يوم القيامة حتى يذهب عرقهم في الأرض سبعين ذراعاً، ويلجمهم حتى يبلغ آذانهم" ((متفق عليه)) . (6)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
We were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ when we heard a bang. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. "Do you know what this (sound) is?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He ﷺ said, "That is a stone which was thrown into Hell seventy years before and it has just reached its bottom".

[Muslim].

وعنه قال: كنا مع رسول الله، ﷺ إذا سمع وجبة فقال: "هل تدرون ما هذا؟" قلنا: الله ورسوله أعلم. قال: هذا حجر رمى به في النار منذ سبعين خريفاً فهو يهوي في النار الآن حتى انتهي إلى قعره، فسمعتم وجبتها" ((رواه مسلم)).

'Adi bin Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Everyone of you will speak to his Rubb without an interpreter between them. He will look to his right side and will see only the deeds he had previously done; he will look to his left and will see only the deeds he had previously done, and he will look in front of him and will see nothing but Fire (of Hell) before his face. So protect yourselves from Fire (of Hell), even by giving half a date- fruit (in charity)".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن عدى بن حاتم، رضي الله عنه ، قال: قال رسول الله، ﷺ "ما منكم من أحد إلا سيكلمه ربه ليس بينه وبينه ترجمان، فينظر أيمن منه، فلا يرى إلا ماقدم، وينظر أشأم منه، فلا يرى إلا ما قدم، وينظر بين يديه، فلا يرى إلا النار تلقاء وجهه، فاتقوا النار ولو بشق تمرة" ((متفق عليه)) .

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I see what you do not see and I hear what you do not hear; heaven has squeaked, and it has right to do so. By Him, in Whose Hand my soul is, there is not a space of four fingers in which there is not an angel who is prostrating his forehead before Allah, the Exalted. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little, weep much, and you would not enjoy women in beds, but would go out to the open space beseeching Allah".

[At- Tirmidhi].

وعن أبي ذر رضي الله عنه ، قال: قال رسول الله ،ﷺ "إنى أرى ما لا ترون؛ أطت السماء وحق لها أن تئط، ما فيها موضع أربع أصابع إلا وملك واضع جبهته ساجداً لله تعالى، والله لو تعلمون ما أعلم، لضحكتم قليلاً، ولبكيتم كثيراً، وما تلذذتم بالنساء على الفرش، ولخرجتم إلى الصعدات تجأورن إلى الله تعالى" ((رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن)). (7)

Abu Barzah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Man's feet will not move on the Day of Resurrection before he is asked about his life, how did he consume it, his knowledge, what did he do with it, his wealth, how did he earn it and how did he dispose of it, and about his body, how did he wear it out."

[At-Tirmidhi].

وعن أبي برزة -براء ثم زاى- نضلة بن عبيد الأسلمى، رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: "لا تزول قدما عبد يوم القيامة حتى يسأل عن عمره فيما أفناه ، وعن علمه فيما فعل فيه، وعن ماله من أين اكتسبه، وفيما أنفقه، وعن جسمه فيم أبلاه" ((رواه الترمذي وقاال: حديث حسن صحيح)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited, "That Day it (the earth) will reveal its news (about all that happened over it of good or evil)." (99:4). Then he ﷺ inquired, "Do you know what its news are?" He was told: "Allah and His Messenger know better". He said, "Its news is that it shall bear witness against every slave man and woman they did on its back. It will say: 'You did this and this on such and such day.' Those will be its news."

[At-Tirmidhi]

وعن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه ، قال: قرأ رسول الله، ﷺ {يومئذ تحدث أخبارها} ثم قال: "أتدرون ما أخبارها؟" قالوا الله ورسوله أعلم. قال: "فإن أخبارها أن تشهد كل عبد أو أمة بما عمل على ظهرها تقول: عملت كذا وكذا في يوم كذا وكذا، فهذه أخبارها" ((رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن)).

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "How can I feel at ease when the Angel of the Trumpet, (Israfil) has put his lips to the Trumpet and is waiting for the order to blow it". He ﷺ perceived as if this had shocked his Companions, so he ﷺ told them to seek comfort through reciting: 'Hasbunallah wa ni'mal-Wakil [Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)]".

[At-Tirmidhi].

وعن أبي سعدي الخدرى، رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله، ﷺ "كيف أنعم وصاحب القرن قد التقم ، واستمع الإذن متى يؤمر بالنفخ فينفخ" فكأن ذلك ثقل على أصحاب رسول الله ، ﷺ فقال لهم:"قولوا :حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل" ((رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "He who is afraid of the pillage of the enemy, sets out in the early part of the night; and he who sets out early, reaches his destination. Be on your guard that the commodity of Allah is precious. Verily the commodity of Allah is Jannah".

[At-Tirmidhi].

وعن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله، ﷺ "من خاف أدلج ، ومن أدلج، بلغ المنزل، ألا إن سلعة الله غالية، إلا إن سلعة الله الجنة" ((رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن))
