Sahih al-Bukhari 6569 (Book 81, Hadith 157) #6317
The Place We Would Have Occupied

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that everyone will be shown the place they would have occupied in either Paradise or Hell depending on whether they had faith or not, so that they may be more thankful and sorrowful respectively.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "None will enter Paradise but will be shown the place he would have occupied in the (Hell) Fire if he had rejected faith, so that he may be more thankful; and none will enter the (Hell) Fire but will be shown the place he would have occupied in Paradise if he had faith, so that may be a cause of sorrow for him".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَدْخُلُ أَحَدٌ الْجَنَّةَ إِلاَّ أُرِيَ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، لَوْ أَسَاءَ، لِيَزْدَادَ شُكْرًا، وَلاَ يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ أُرِيَ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، لَوْ أَحْسَنَ، لِيَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ حَسْرَةً

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for righteousness; Remain humble; Be grateful; Have faith

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us a valuable lesson about faith and its importance. He said that everyone will be shown the place they would have occupied in either Paradise or Hell depending on whether they had faith or not. This is to make us more thankful for our blessings if we are shown our place in paradise and to make us regretful for our sins if we are shown our place in hell. This teaches us to always strive for righteousness and never take it for granted as it can determine where we end up after death. It also encourages us to remain humble even when blessed with good fortune as it could all change at any moment.
