The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There will be none among you but will be talked to by Allah on the Day of
Resurrection, without there being an interpreter between him and Him (Allah) . He will look and see
nothing ahead of him, and then he will look (again for the second time) in front of him, and the (Hell)
Fire will confront him. So, whoever among you can save himself from the Fire, should do so even
with one half of a date (to give in charity).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Protect yourself from the Fire." He then turned his face aside (as if he were looking
at it) and said again, "Protect yourself from the Fire," and then turned his face aside (as if he were
looking at it), and he said so for the third time till we thought he was looking at it. He then said,
"Protect yourselves from the Fire, even if with one half of a date and he who hasn't got even this,
(should do so) by (saying) a good, pleasant word.'
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The people were displayed in front of me and I saw one prophet passing by with a
large group of his followers, and another prophet passing by with only a small group of people, and
another prophet passing by with only ten (persons), and another prophet passing by with only five
(persons), and another prophet passed by alone. And then I looked and saw a large multitude of
people, so I asked Gabriel, "Are these people my followers?' He said, 'No, but look towards the
horizon.' I looked and saw a very large multitude of people. Gabriel said. 'Those are your followers,
and those are seventy thousand (persons) in front of them who will neither have any reckoning of their
accounts nor will receive any punishment.' I asked, 'Why?' He said, 'For they used not to treat
themselves with branding (cauterization) nor with Ruqya (get oneself treated by the recitation of some
Verses of the Qur'an) and not to see evil omen in things, and they used to put their trust (only) in their
Lord." On hearing that, 'Ukasha bin Mihsan got up and said (to the Prophet), "Invoke Allah to make
me one of them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah, make him one of them." Then another man got up and
said (to the Prophet), "Invoke Allah to make me one of them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Ukasha has preceded
you."
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "From my followers there will enter Paradise a crowd, seventy
thousand in number, whose faces will glitter as the moon does when it is full." On hearing that,
'Ukasha bin Mihsan Al-Asdi got up, lifting his covering sheet, and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke
Allah that He may make me one of them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah, make him one of them."
Another man from the Ansar got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah to make me one of
them. "The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "'Ukasha has preceded you."

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" قُمْتُ عَلَى باب الْجَنَّةِ فَكَانَ عَامَّةُ مَنْ دَخَلَهَا الْمَسَاكِينَ، وَأَصْحَابُ الْجَدِّ مَحْبُوسُونَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ قَدْ أُمِرَ بِهِمْ إِلَى النَّارِ، وَقُمْتُ عَلَى باب النَّارِ فَإِذَا عَامَّةُ مَنْ دَخَلَهَا النِّسَاءُ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I stood at the gate of Paradise and saw that the majority of the people who had
entered it were poor people, while the rich were forbidden (to enter along with the poor, because they
were waiting the reckoning of their accounts), but the people of the Fire had been ordered to be driven
to the Fire. And I stood at the gate of the Fire and found that the majority of the people entering it
were women."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When the people of Paradise have entered Paradise and the people of the Fire
have entered the Fire, death will be brought and will be placed between the Fire and Paradise, and
then it will be slaughtered, and a call will be made (that), 'O people of Paradise, no more death ! O
people of the Fire, no more death ! ' So the people of Paradise will have happiness added to their
previous happiness, and the people of the Fire will have sorrow added to their previous sorrow."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah will say to the people of Paradise, 'O the people of Paradise!' They will
say, 'Labbaik, O our Lord, and Sa`daik!' Allah will say, 'Are you pleased?" They will say, 'Why
should we not be pleased since You have given us what You have not given to anyone of Your
creation?' Allah will say, 'I will give you something better than that.' They will reply, 'O our Lord!
And what is better than that?' Allah will say, 'I will bestow My pleasure and contentment upon you so
that I will never be angry with you after for-ever.' "
Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr while he was
young. His mother came to the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You
know the relation of Haritha to me (how fond of him I was); so, if he
is in Paradise, I will remain patient and wish for Allah's reward, but
if he is not there, then you will see what I will do." The Prophet (ﷺ)
replied, "May Allah be merciful upon you! Have you gone mad? (Do you
think) it is one Paradise? There are many Paradises and he is in the
(most superior) Paradise of Al-Firdaus."
