Chapter No. 1, 110 Ahadith Qudsi (Sacred Hadith)
Hadith No: 7
Narrated/Authority of Abu Huraira
I heard Allah's
Messenger (PBUH) saying: The first of the people
whose case will be decided on the Day of Judgment will
be a man who died as a martyr. He will be brought forth.
Allah will make him know about His blessings (which He
had bestowed on him in the world). The man will
acknowledge them. Then Allah will ask him: What did
you do with them? He will say: I fought in Your way until
I died as a martyr. Allah will remark: You are lying. You fought so that you may be called a brave warrior. Then
orders will be passed against him. So he will be dragged
along on his face and cast into Hell.
Second will be a man who studied (religious) knowledge.
Then he taught it to others and recited the Qur' an. He will
be brought (for Judgment). Allah will remind him of His
favours (showered on him in the world). He will admit
them (having enjoyed them in his life). Then Allah will
ask him: What did you do with them? He will reply: I
acquired knowledge and imparted it and also recited the
Qur' an for Your sake. Allah will observe: You have told a
lie, for you got knowledge to be renowned as a scholar;
and you recited the Qur'an to be marked as a Qdri (one
who recites the Qur'an according to the rules). Then orders
will be passed against him. So he will be dragged along on
his face and thrown into Hell.
Third will be a man to whom Allah had made abundantly
rich and granted him every kind of wealth. He will be
brought for Judgment. Allah will let him know about His
gifts conferred upon him in the world. He will recognize
them. Then Allah will inquire: What did you with them?
He will say: I left no way in which you like money to be
spent without spending in it for your sake. Allah will say:
You are lying. You did so to be described as generous (in
the society); (It means you got your reward in the world
according to your intention). Now you deserve nothing in
the Hereafter except Hell). So orders will be passed
against him and he will be dragged along on his face until
he will be hurled into Hell.
(This Hadith is sound and reported by Muslim and
Nasa'i)
The purity of inteniton is behind any deed. If you spend for show,
there is no reward. Eventually, if one loves another for something
worldly this shall not count in the Hereafter. But love for the sake of Allah ~J f is great virtue in the Hereafter. Such love can be a
Muslim's love to learn from him or to take as a companion for
good deeds, without any worldly considerations, once there is
something worldly, the intention is not pure.
