Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If a believer had full knowledge of the chastisement of Allah, none would covet His Jannah; and were an infidel to know the Mercy Allah has, none would despair of His Jannah".
[Muslim].
وعن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه ، أن رسول الله ﷺ قال" لو يعلم المؤمن ما عند الله من العقوبة، ما طمع بجنته أحد، ولو يعلم الكافر ما عند الله من الرحمة، ما قنط من جنته أحد” ((رواه مسلم)).

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a dead body is placed on a bier and men carry it on their shoulders, if the deceased was pious, it (the corpse) will say: 'Take me in haste'; but if he was not, it will say (to its bearers): 'Woe to it. Where are you taking it?' Everything except man hears its voice. Had a human being heard its voice, he would have surely died".
[Al-Bukhari].
