Hadith 8277

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، قَالَ : تَفَرَّجَ النَّاسُ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ نَاتِلٌ الشَّامِيُّ : أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ ، حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ يُقْضَى فِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثَلَاثَةٌ : رَجُلٌ اسْتُشْهِدَ ، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ ، فَعَرَفَهَا ، فَقَالَ وَمَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا ؟ قَالَ قَاتَلْتُ فِيكَ حَتَّى قُتِلْتُ ، قَالَ : كَذَبْتَ ، وَلَكِنَّكَ قَاتَلْتَ لِيُقَالَ : هُوَ جَرِيءٌ ، فَقَدْ قِيلَ ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَيُسْحَبُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ . وَرَجُلٌ تَعَلَّمَ الْعِلْمَ وَعَلَّمَهُ وَقَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ ، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ لِيُعَرِّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ ، فَعَرَفَهَا ، فَقَالَ : مَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا ؟ قَال : تَعَلَّمْتُ فِيكَ الْعِلْمَ وَعَلَّمْتُهُ ، وَقَرَأْتُ فِيكَ الْقُرْآنَ ، فَقَال : كَذَبْتَ ، وَلَكِنَّكَ تَعَلَّمْتَ لِيُقَالَ : هُوَ عَالِمٌ ، فَقَدْ قِيلَ ، وَقَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ لِيُقَالَ : هُوَ قَارِئٌ ، فَقَدْ قِيلَ ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ ، فَيُسْحَبُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ . وَرَجُلٌ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعْطَاهُ مِنْ أَصْنَافِ الْمَالِ كُلِّهِ ، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ فَعَرَفَهَا ، فَقَالَ : مَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا ؟ قَالَ : مَا تَرَكْتُ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ تُحِبُّ أَنْ يُنْفَقَ فِيهَا إِلَّا أَنْفَقْتُ فِيهَا لَكَ ، قَالَ : كَذَبْتَ ، وَلَكِنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ لِيُقَالَ : هُوَ جَوَّادٌ ، فَقَدْ قِيلَ . ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَيُسْحَبُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ " .
Salman bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once, when the teaching session of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) ended and the people dispersed, a man named Natil Shami approached Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "O Hazrat! Please narrate to us a hadith which you yourself heard from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." He replied, "I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: On the Day of Resurrection, the first people whose cases will be decided will be three types of people.

The first will be a man who was martyred. He will be brought forth, and Allah Almighty will enumerate His blessings upon him, and he will acknowledge all of them. Allah will ask, 'What did you do with them?' He will reply, 'I fought in Your cause until I was martyred.' Allah will say, 'You are lying. You fought so that you would be called brave, and that has already been said.' Then it will be ordered, and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell.

The second will be a man who acquired knowledge, taught it, and recited the Qur'an. He will be brought forth, and Allah Almighty will enumerate His blessings upon him, and he will acknowledge all of them. Allah will ask, 'What did you do with them?' He will say, 'I acquired knowledge and taught it for Your pleasure, and I recited the Qur'an for Your pleasure.' Allah will say, 'You are lying. You acquired knowledge so that you would be called a scholar, and that has already been said. And you recited the Qur'an so that you would be called a reciter, and that has already been said.' Then it will be ordered, and he too will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell.

The third will be a man upon whom Allah bestowed abundance and granted every kind of wealth. He will be brought forth, and Allah Almighty will enumerate His blessings upon him, and he will acknowledge all of them. Allah will ask, 'What did you do with them?' He will reply, 'I spent in every way You love and for Your pleasure.' Allah will say, 'You are lying. You did this so that you would be called generous, and that has already been said.' Then it will be ordered, and he too will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell."
