Protecting Oneself from the Fire of Hell

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of protecting oneself from the Fire of Hell by doing good deeds, even if it is as small as giving half a date-fruit in charity.

'Adi bin Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Everyone of you will speak to his Rabb without an interpreter between them. He will look to his right side and will see only the deeds he had previously done; he will look to his left and will see only the deeds he had previously done, and he will look in front of him and will see nothing but Fire (of Hell) before his face. So protect yourselves from Fire (of Hell), even by giving half a date- fruit (in charity)". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

وعن عدى بن حاتم، رضي الله عنه ، قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله، ﷺ ‏ "‏ما منكم من أحد إلا سيكلمه ربه ليس بينه وبينه ترجمان، فينظر أيمن منه، فلا يرى إلا ماقدم، وينظر أشأم منه، فلا يرى إلا ما قدم، وينظر بين يديه، فلا يرى إلا النار تلقاء وجهه، فاتقوا النار ولو بشق تمرة‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏

EXPLANATIONS:

This hadith speaks to us about the importance of doing good deeds and protecting ourselves from the punishment of Hellfire. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ tells us that when we stand before our Lord on Judgment Day, we will look to our right and left sides and see only our past deeds. We will then look ahead and see nothing but fire before us. To protect ourselves from this punishment, we should give charity even if it is something small like half a date-fruit. Doing so can help save us from an eternity in Hellfire.

This hadith teaches us that no matter how small or insignificant an act may seem to be, it can still have a great impact on our lives in both this world and the hereafter. It also reminds us that every action has consequences; therefore we should strive to do good deeds so that they outweigh any bad ones when standing before Allah on Judgment Day.
