Judging by Apparent Acts

SUMMARY: People should be judged based on their outward actions, and those who display good will be granted peace and security.

'Abdullah bin 'Utbah bin Mas'ud reported: I heard 'Umar bin Al- Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported saying: "In the lifetime of Messenger of Allah some people were called to account through Revelation. Now Revelation has discontinued and we shall judge you by your apparent acts. Whoever displays to us good, we shall grant him peace and security, and treat him as a near one. We have nothing to do with his insight. Allah will call him to account for that. But whosoever shows evil to us, we shall not grant him security nor shall we believe him, even if he professed that his intention is good". Al-Bukhari.
وعن عبد الله بن عتبة بن مسعود قال‏:‏ سمعت عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، يقول‏:‏ ‏ "‏إن ناساً كانوا يؤخذون بالوحي في عهد رسول الله وإن الوحى قد انقطع، وإنما نأخذهم الآن بما ظهر لنا من أعمالكم، فمن أظهر لنا خيراً، أمناه وقربناه، وليس لنا من سريرته شئ، الله يحاسبه في سريرته، ومن أظهر لنا سوءاً، لم نأمنه، ولم نصدقه وإن قال‏:‏ إن سريرته حسنة‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Judge others based on their outward actions and display good behavior towards them.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how people should be judged. In the time of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) some people were called to account through Revelation, but now that Revelation has stopped, we must judge people based on their outward actions. Those who show good will receive peace and security, while those who show evil will not receive either of these things. It is important to remember that Allah will call everyone to account for their intentions as well as their actions.
