While the Prophet was in a funeral procession, he took a small stick and started scraping the earth
with it and said, “There is none among you but has his place written for him, either in the Hell Fire or
in Paradise.” They (the people) said, “Allah’s Apostle! Shall we depend on this (and leave work)?” He
replied. “Carry on doing (good deeds), for everybody will find easy (to do) such deeds as will lead
him to his destined place.” The Prophet then recited:–
‘As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah, and believes in the Best Reward.’…..

escaped your evil, and you too have escaped its evil.”

I heard the Prophet saying, “Allah will bring forth the severest Hour, and then all the Believers,

All the idols which were worshipped by the people of Noah were worshipped by the Arabs later
on. As for the idol Wadd, it was worshipped by the tribe of Kalb at Daumat-al-Jandal; Suwa’ was the
idol of (the tribe of) Murad and then by Ban, Ghutaif at Al-Jurf near Saba; Yauq was the idol of
Hamdan, and Nasr was the idol of Himyr, the branch of Dhi-al-Kala.’ The names (of the idols)
formerly belonged to some pious men of the people of Noah, and when they died Satan inspired their
people to (prepare and place idols at the places where they used to sit, and to call those idols by their
names. The people did so, but the idols were not worshipped till those people (who initiated them)
had died and the origin of the idols had become obscure, whereupon people began worshipping
them.

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Allah’s Apostle went out along with a group of his companions towards ‘Ukaz Market. At that time
something intervened between the devils and the news of the Heaven, and flames were sent down
upon them, so the devils returned. Their fellow-devils said, “What is wrong with you? ” They said,
“Something has intervened between us and the news of the Heaven, and fires (flames) have been shot
at us.” Their fellow-devils said, “Nothing has intervened between you and the news of the Heaven,
but an important event has happened. Therefore, travel all over the world, east and west, and try to
find out what has happened.” And so they set out and travelled all over the world, east and west,
looking for that thing which intervened between them and the news of the Heaven. Those of the
devils who had set out towards Tihama, went to Allah’s Apostle at Nakhla (a place between Mecca
and Taif) while he was on his way to Ukaz Market. (They met him) while he was offering the Fajr
prayer with his companions. When they heard the Holy Qur’an being recited (by Allah’s Apostle),
they listened to it and said (to each other). This is the thing which has intervened between you and
the news of the Heavens.” Then they returned to their people and said, “O our people! We have really
heard a wonderful recital (Qur’an). It gives guidance to the right, and we have believed therein. We
