Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not inform of whom Hellfire is forbidden for? Or he is forbidden for Hellfire? It is forbidden for someone who is accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with."
Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Ahmad
Shall I not inform you of whom Hellfire is forbidden to burn? It is forbidden for he who is accessible to people, who sits with them in the places of worship, and treat them kindly to the best of his ability; and he who is forbearing, lenient, and tolerant in dealing with them.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who is afraid (of the pillage of the enemy) sets out in the early part of the night, and the one who sets out early will reach his destination. Verily, the commodity of Allah is precious. Verily, the commodity of Allah is Paradise."
Narrated by At-Termedhy
Whoever fears Allah, the Exalted, then let him stay away from sins and exert his efforts in doing acts of obedience to Allah, the Almighty. The provision that is with Allah is precious. It is Paradise; nothing suits its price except sacrificing one's self and one's wealth.
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are two blessings in which many people incur loss: health and free time."
Narrated by Bukhari
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed about two great blessings that Allah bestows upon man, in which many people suffer loss because they use them inappropriately. When a person is blessed with both health and free time but is overcome by laziness in worship, he is among the losers, and this is the case with most people. However, if a person uses his free time and health in obeying Allah, he is the winner, for this world is the cultivation ground for the Hereafter, and in it lies the trade whose profit will be realized in the Hereafter. Free time is followed by preoccupation, and health is followed by sickness; and if nothing else except old age, it would suffice as a reminder.
‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hellfire will be brought on that Day (the Day of Resurrection) with seventy thousand bridles; and with each bridle, there will be seventy thousand angels pulling it."
Narrated by Muslim
Hellfire will be brought on the Day of Resurrection pulled by seventy thousand ropes. Each rope will be pulled by seventy thousand angels.
Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I tell you what '‘ada' is? It is calumny which is committed among the people."
Narrated by Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) wished to warn his nation against calumny and talebearing, which is telling people what others say about them with the intention of causing ill feelings and creating a rift between them. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) started his speech with a question in order to grab his listeners' attention. He asked them: "Shall I tell you what '‘ada' is? This term has also been interpreted to mean magic. Then he answered this question saying: "‘Ada" is to circulate the ill-speech that people make against each other. This has the same effect of magic in terms of the corruption and harm it causes among people. It turns people against each other, severs ties that were once strong, and fills the hearts with anger and resentment, as witnessed nowadays.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wretched is the slave of the dinar! Wretched is the slave of the dirham! Wretched is the slave of Khamīsah (a kind of fine garments)! Wretched is the slave of velvet! If given, he is pleased, but if not, he is displeased. May he be wretched and may he relapse, and if he is pierced with a thorn, may he not find anyone to take it out for him. Tūba (a tree in Paradise) is for a slave who holds the reins of his horse to strive in Allah's cause, with his hair unkempt and feet covered with dust: if he is appointed as a guard, he accepts his post with satisfaction, and if he is appointed in the vanguard, he accepts his post with satisfaction; (he is so simple and humble that) if he asks for permission, he is not permitted, and if he intercedes, his intercession is not accepted."
Al-Bukhari with a similar wording
In this Hadīth, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) says that there are people who are fully overwhelmed by the worldly life, for which they pay their utmost attention. Such people will be led to destruction and loss. They are characterized by their deep greed for the worldly life; if one of them is given of its pleasures, he is pleased, and if not, he is displeased. There are other people, however, who aim to please Allah and seek the Hereafter. They have no desire for prestige or fame. They only seek to obey Allah and His Messenger. Such people do not care about how they look, they are satisfied with the place they are placed in, they are insignificant in the eyes of people, and they are distant from the people of authority. If one of them seeks permission to enter upon a person of power, he is not granted permission, and if he intercedes, he is not given such a privilege. However, he is destined to Paradise, which is definitely the most excellent reward.
Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Three will not enter Paradise: the habitual drinker of alcohol, the one who severs the ties of kinship, and the one who believes in sorcery. "
Narrated by Ibn Hebban - Narrated by Ahmad
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) informs us in this Hadīth that there are three categories of people who will not enter Paradise because of the major sins that they commit, all of which are harmful to themselves and the whole community: The first of them is the one involved in habitual drinking of alcohol, which obscures one's reason, magnanimity, and even humanity. The second is the one who breaks the ties of kinship, because in so doing, he causes enmity and disunity between the members of his family - the result of this may be that one would live by himself, outcast and ignored by the closest people to him. The third is the one who believes in sorcery, which also includes fortune-telling, because this encourages cheating, fraud, and deception for the purpose of stealing the money of the people. The threat here does not apply to the one who merely believes that sorcery has effect, because it undoubtedly has effect. Nevertheless, whoever believes that sorcery can transform the nature of things (transform wood into gold for example) is certainly meant by this threat because no one can do this except Allah, the Almighty.
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Soon there will come a time when the best property of a Muslim will be sheep that he will take to the mountaintops and the places of rainfall so as to flee with his religion from tribulations."
Narrated by Bukhari
The Hadīth indicates the preference of living in isolation at times of tribulation, unless a person has the ability to remove such tribulation. In this case, he would be obliged to strive to remove it, either as an individual religious duty or a collective duty (i.e. if someone undertook and competed it, it is waived from the obligation of the others) according to the situation and ability. As to the times that are free of tribulation, scholars held different opinions regarding which is better: to isolate oneself from people or to interact with them? The chosen opinion is that interaction is better for the one who believes that he would most likely not yield to temptations of committing sin. “to flee with his religion from tribulations” means to escape for fear that his religious commitment would be affected. For this reason, man was commanded to migrate from the lands of infidelity to the lands of Islam, and from countries where immorality is rampant to those where righteousness prevails. So, this should be done when people and times change.
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri and Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A caller will call out: You will be healthy and never fall ill; you will live and never die; you will be young and never grow old; you will live in comfort and never suffer." This is His saying: {They will be called, “This is Paradise that you are made to inherit for what you used to do.”} [Surat al-A‘rāf: 43]
Narrated by Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that a caller would call the dwellers of Paradise while they are in it, leading a life of ease and comfort: You will be healthy and will never get sick in Paradise, not even a minor sickness; you will live and never die therein, even if it is sleep that is minor death; you will be young and never grow old therein; and you will enjoy a life of comfort and never be sad or miserable therein. This is the meaning of the verse in which Allah Almighty says: {They will be called, “This is Paradise that you are made to inherit for what you used to do.”} [Surat al-A‘rāf: 43]
