Volume 8, Book 76, Number 500:
Narrated Sa’d bin Sahl As-Sa’idi:
The Prophet looked at a man fighting against the pagans and he was one of the most competent
persons fighting on behalf of the Muslims. The Prophet said, “Let him who wants to look at a man
from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire, look at this (man).” Another man followed him and kept on fol –
lowing him till he (the fighter) was injured and, seeking to die quickly, he placed the blade tip of his
sword between his breasts and leaned over it till it passed through his shoulders (i.e., committed sui –
cide).” The Prophet added, “A person may do deeds that seem to the people as the deeds of the people
of Paradise while in fact, he is from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire: and similarly a person may do
deeds that seem to the people as the deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire while in fact, he is from the
dwellers of Paradise. Verily, the (results of) deeds done, depend upon the last actions.”

A bedouin came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who is the best of mankind!” The

Volume 8, Book 76, Number 487:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet said, “There was a man amongst the people who had suspicion as to the righteousness
of his deeds. Therefore he said to his family, ‘If I die, take me and burn my corpse and throw my
ashes into the sea on a hot (or windy) day.’ They did so, but Allah, collected his particles and asked
(him), What made you do what you did?’ He replied, ‘The only thing that made me do it, was that I
was afraid of You.’ So Allah forgave him.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 488:
Narrated Abu Said :
The Prophet mentioned a man from the previous generation or from the people preceding your
age whom Allah had given both wealth and children. The Prophet said, “When the time of his death
approached, he asked his children, ‘What type of father have I been to you?’ They replied: You have
been a good father. He said, ‘But he (i.e. your father) has not stored any good deeds with Allah (for
the Hereafter): if he should face Allah, Allah will punish him. So listen, (O my children), when I die,
burn my body till I become mere coal and then grind it into powder, and when there is a stormy
wind, throw me (my ashes) in it.’ So he took a firm promise from his children (to follow his instruc –
tions). And by Allah they (his sons) did accordingly(fulfilled their promise.) Then Allah said, “Be”‘ and
behold! That man was standing there! Allah then said. “O my slave! What made you do what you
did?” That man said, “Fear of You.” So Allah forgave him.
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 489:
Narrated Abu Musa:
Allah’s Apostle said. “My example and the example of the message with which Allah has sent me is
like that of a man who came to some people and said, “I have seen with my own eyes the enemy
forces, and I am a naked warner (to you) so save yourself, save yourself! A group of them obeyed him
and went out at night, slowly and stealthily and were safe, while another group did not believe him
and thus the army took them in the morning and destroyed them.”

I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “My example and the example of the people is that of a man who
made a fire, and when it lighted what was around it, Moths and other insects started falling into the
fire. The man tried (his best) to prevent them, (from falling in the fire) but they overpowered him
and rushed into the fire. The Prophet added: Now, similarly, I take hold of the knots at your waist
(belts) to prevent you from falling into the Fire, but you insist on falling into it.”

And a Muhajir (an emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons) all what Allah has forbidden.”
