Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do you know what thing will cause most people to enter Hell?” The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “Indeed, the thing that will cause most people to enter Hell is the two hollow things: the mouth and the private parts. Do you know what thing will cause most people to enter Paradise?” The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Indeed, the thing that will cause most people to enter Paradise is the fear of Allah and good character.”
