Abu Nazrah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: A companion became ill, and when his companions went to visit him, he began to weep. Someone said to him: "O servant of Allah! Why are you weeping? Did not the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say to you: Trim your mustache, then remain in that state until you meet me?" He said: "Yes, indeed, that is what happened, but I also heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Verily, Allah the Exalted took a handful with His right hand and said: These are for Paradise, and I do not care. Then He took a handful with the other hand and said: These are for Hell, and I do not care. Now I do not know in which handful I was."
