It is said: Welcome to the good soul that was in a good body. Enter praiseworthy and receive the glad tidings of mercy and fragrance and a Lord Who is not angry. And this is repeated until it is brought to the heaven above which is Allah. But if the man was evil, they say: Come out O evil soul that was in an evil body. Come out blameworthy, and receive the tidings of boiling water and the discharge of dirty wounds, and other torments of similar kind, all together. And this is repeated until it comes out, then it is taken up to heaven and it is not opened for it. And it is asked: Who is this? It is said: So-and-so. And it is said: No welcome to the evil soul that was in an evil body. Go back blameworthy, for the gates of heaven will not be opened to you. So it is sent back down from heaven, then it goes to the grave."

By Allah (SWT), I never committed adultery either during Ignorance days nor in Islam, and I have never killed a Muslim soul, and I have not apostatized since I became Muslim." Sahih

"We were with the Messenger of Allah (saw) in a tent, and he said: Will it not please you to be one quarter of the people of Paradise? We said: Yes. He said: Will it not please you to be one third of the people of Paradise? We said: Yes. He said: By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise.

Then he said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, were it not that it would be too difficult for the Muslims, I would never have stayed behind from any expedition that went out in the cause of Allah. But I could not find the resources to give them mounts and they could not find the resources to follow me, nor would they be pleased to stay behind if I went. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, I wish I could fight in the cause of Allah and be killed, then fight and be killed, then fight and be killed.'"
