Sunan Ibn Majah 3981 (Book 36, Hadith 56) #33336
Better To Die Than Follow The Wrong Path

SUMMARY: It is better to die than to follow someone who leads you to Hell.

It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman that the Messenger of Allah said: "There will be tribulations at the gates of which will be callers (calling people) to Hell. Dying when you are biting onto the stump of a tree will be better for you than following anyone of them".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْخَزَّازُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ قُرْطٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ تَكُونُ فِتَنٌ عَلَى أَبْوَابِهَا دُعَاةٌ إِلَى النَّارِ فَأَنْ تَمُوتَ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى جِذْلِ شَجَرَةٍ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْبَعَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the tribulations that will come at the gates of Hell. These tribulations will be caused by callers who are trying to lead people astray and into Hell. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warns us that it is better for us to die while clinging onto a tree stump than it is for us to follow any one of these callers. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive towards righteousness and stay away from anything that could lead us astray or cause harm in our lives. We should also remember that death can come at any time and so we must always be prepared for it by living our lives in accordance with Islamic teachings and values.
