وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا مِنْ حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ ذُكِرَ بِتَمَامِهِ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْفَضَائِلِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَاقِي اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَائِلٌ مَا أَقُولُ أَلَمْ أَجْعَلْكَ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا أَلَمْ أَجْعَلْ لَكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا فَمَاذَا قَدَّمْتَ فَيَنْظُرُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ فَلَا يَجِدُ شَيْئًا فَمَا يَتَّقِي النَّارَ إِلَّا بِوَجْهِهِ فَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوهُ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), this is a lengthy hadith, which has already been mentioned in the Book of Virtues under the circumstances of Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him). In it, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Each one of you will meet Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty will say: Did I not make you one who hears and sees? Did I not bless you with wealth and children? So what deed did you send forth? He will look in front of him, behind him, to his right and to his left, but he will not see any good deed. Then, when he is sent to Hell, he will try to protect himself from Hell with his face. Therefore, keep making provisions to save yourselves from Hell, even if it is by giving a piece of a date in charity, and if you do not possess even that, then speak a good word.
