Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said, "Among the inmates of Hell, a person who had led the
most luxurious life in this world will be brought up on the Day of
Resurrection and dipped in the Fire and will be asked: 'O son of Adam!
Did you ever experience any comfort? Did you happen to get any luxury?'
He will reply: 'By Allah, no, my Rubb.' And then one of the people of
Jannah who had experienced extreme misery in the life of this world will
be dipped in Jannah. Then he will be asked: 'O son of Adam! Did you
ever experience any misery? Did you ever encounter difficulty?' He will
say: "By Allah, no my Rubb, I neither experienced misery nor passed
through hardship". [Muslim].
Commentary:
This
Hadith induces one to work for the life of the Hereafter, as the
amenities of this world which one strives hard to attain, and for which
one violates the injunctions of Shari'ah, will be forgotten with a
glimpse of the Hell-fire. Therefore, the sensible course is that one
should adopt a way of life which is full of true faith and good deeds so
that one becomes eligible for the eternal blessings and joys of the
life of the Hereafter.
