Protection from Hellfire through Fear and Devotion

SUMMARY: Weeping out of fear of Allah and spending the night in guarding in the Cause of Allah will protect one from the fire of Hell.

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah saying, "Two eyes will never be touched by the fire of Hell; an eye which weeps out of Fear of Allah and an eye which spends the night in guarding in the Cause of Allah ". At-Tirmidhi.
وعن ابن عباس، رضي الله عنهما قال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله يقول‏:‏ “عينان لا تمسهما النار عين بكت من خشية الله، وعين باتت تحرس في سبيل الله‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه الترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to protect oneself from the fire of hell. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that two eyes will never be touched by the fire of hell; an eye which weeps out of fear for Allah, and an eye which spends its nights in guarding in the cause for Allah. Weeping out of fear for Allah means to cry due to feeling overwhelmed with love, respect, and awe for Him. Spending nights in guarding means dedicating time to worshiping God or doing good deeds such as helping others or volunteering at a charity organization. Both these actions are ways that can help us stay away from sinning and ultimately save us from being punished by hellfire on Judgment Day.
