Chapter 49: About Fearing Allah

Chapter Introduction

Now, let us read what Imam Al-Nawawi compiled in this concern.

Allah said:

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:40)
يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَوْفُوا بِعَهْدِي أُوفِ بِعَهْدِكُمْ وَإِيَّايَ فَارْهَبُونِ
( سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:40) )

Translation: " O Children of Israel! Remember My Favor that I bestowed upon you, and fulfill (your obligations to) My

Translation: Covenant (with you) so that I fulfill (My Obligations to) your covenant (with Me), and fear none but Me. * " (2: 40) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ البُرُوجِ (85:12)
إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ
( سُورَةُ البُرُوجِ (85:12) )

Translation: " Verily, the Seizure (punishment) of your Lord is severe. " (85: 12) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ هُودٍ (11:103)
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَىٰ وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ ۚ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْآخِرَةِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوعٌ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُودٌ وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُ إِلَّا لِأَجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيٌّ وَسَعِيدٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ شَقُوا فَفِي النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا
( سُورَةُ هُودٍ (11:103) )

Translation: " Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the (population of) the towns while they are doing wrong. Verily, His Seizure is painful, (and) severe. * Indeed, in that (there) is a sure lesson for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day whereon mankind will be gathered together, and that is a Day when all (the dwellers of the heavens and the earth) will be present * And We delay it only for a term (already) fixed. * When that Day comes, nobody shall speak except by His (Allah's) Leave. Some among them will be wretched and (others) blessed. * As for those who are wretched, they will be in Fire, sighing in a high and low tone. * " (11: 102-106) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ آلِ عِمۡرَانَ (3:28)
لَّا يَتَّخِذِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۖ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَن تَتَّقُوا مِنْهُمْ تُقَاةً ۗ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللَّهُ نَفْسَهُ ۗ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ
( سُورَةُ آلِ عِمۡرَانَ (3:28) )

Translation: " Let not the believers take the disbelievers as supporters instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allah in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allah warns you against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allah is the final return. * " (3: 28) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ عَبَسَ (80:34)
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ لِكُلِّ
( سُورَةُ عَبَسَ (80:34) )

Translation: " That Day a man shall flee from his brother, * From his mother and his father, * And from his wife and his children. * Every man that Day will have enough to make him careless of others. * " (80: 34-37) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ الرَّحۡمَٰن (55:46)
وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِ
( سُورَةُ الرَّحۡمَٰن (55:46) )

Translation: " But for him who fears the standing before his Lord, there will be two Gardens (i.e. in Paradise). (55: 46) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ الطُّورِ (52:26)
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ قَالُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِي أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَانَا عَذَابَ السَّمُومِ إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ
( سُورَةُ الطُّورِ (52:26) )

Translation: " And some of them draw near to others, questioning * Saying: ' Aforetime, we were afraid (of the punishment of Allah) in the midst of our families. But Allah has been gracious to us, and has saved us from the torment of the Fire * Verily, We used to invoke Him (Alone and none else) before. Verily, He is Al-Barr (the Most Subtle, Kind, Courteous, and Generous), the Most Merciful. * " ' (52: 25-28)

Translation: The verses in this regard are too many to count, and so are the Hadiths.

Hadith 204: Hadith 204

٢٠٤ - عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُ قَالَ : حَدَثَنَا رَسُوَلَاللَّهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الصادق المصدوق ، قَالَ : إِن أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقَهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مثل ذلك ، ثُمّ يَكُونُ مُضغَةً مثل ذلك ، ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَلَكًا فَيُؤْمَرُ بِأَرْبَعِ كلمات ، ويُقَالُ لَهُ : اكْتُبْ عَمَلَهُ ، وَرزقَهُ ، وَأَجَلَهُ ، وَشَقِي أَوْ سَعيد يُنْفَخُ فِيه الروحُ ، فَإِن الرّجلَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا ذِرَاعٌ ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ كِتَابُهُ ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَل أَهْلِ النّارِ . وَيَعْمَلُ حَتَّى ما يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّارِ إِلَّا ذرَاعٌ ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الكِتَابُ ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الجَنَّة . رواه البخاري

Translation: 204. Narrated Abdullah (ibn Mas'oud: ' Allah's Messenger, the true and truly inspired said: " (The matter of the creation of) a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature's) deeds, his livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or wretched (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into him. So, a man amongst you may do (good) deeds until there is only a cubit between him and Paradise and then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing the (evil) deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire 10 And similarly a man amongst you may do 10 Some scholars explain this as referring to those who do good deeds to show off and not for the sake of Allah, thinking that they beguile Allah and the believer, but Allah causes them to go astray and mocks them. Allah says: " And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: " We believe in Allâh and the Last Day " while in fact they believe not. * They (think to) deceive Allah and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and they perceive (it) not. * In their

Translation: (evil) deeds until there is only a cubit between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been written for him decides his behavior, and he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise. " (Bukhari)

Hadith 205: Hadith 205

٢٠٥- عَنِ النِّعَمٍّانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ ) . عَنْهُ قَالَ : : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيََََُُِِّّّّّّّّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : ( إِنَّْ أهْوَنَ أهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ رَجُلٌ يُوضَع عَلَى أَخْمَصَ قَدَمَيْهِ جَمْرْتَانِ ، يَغْلِي مِنْهُمَا دِمَاعَهُ كما يَغْلِي الْمِرْجَلُ وَالٍقُمْقُمَ ) . رواه البخاري

Translation: 205. Narrated Al-No'aman ibn Basheer: ' I heard the Prophet saying: " The least punished person in the (Hellfire) on the Day of Resurrection will be a man under the arches of whose feet there will be two firebrands, because of which his brain will boil just like a boiler or a narrow-necked vessel when they contain boiling water. " (Bukhari)

٢٠٦ - عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا : أَنََّّ النَّبِيََََُُِِّّّّّّّّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : : يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسَ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ( ٦ )
( المطفين ٦ )

Translation: 206. Abdullah ibn Omar (may Allah be pleased with them) said, as a comment on the verse:

Translation: . " The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of all that exists (mankind, jinn and all that exists). (83 3:: 6), that the Prophet said: “ Some of them will be submerged in their sweat up to the middle of their ears. " (Bukhari)

Translation: hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies. ** * " And " Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He Who deceives them. And when they stand up for the prayer, they stand with laziness and to be seen by men, and they do not remember Allah but little. * " (4 " 142)

٢٠٧ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِنْيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ عَنْ مُجَاهِد عَنْ مُوَرَقِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوَلَاللَّهِ إِنََََِّّّّّْي أَرَى مَا لا تَرَوْنَ وَأَسْمَعُ مَا لا تَسْمَعُونَ أَطَّتِ السَّمَاءُ وَحُقٌّ لَهَا أَنْ تَبْطْ مَا فِيهَا مَوْضِعُ أَرْبَعِ أصابعَ إِلَّا وَمَلَك وَاضِعٌ جَبْهَتَهُ سَاجِدًا لِلَّهِ وَالٍلَّهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَصَحكْتُمْ قَلِيلا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا وَمَا تَلَذَّذْتُمْ بِالنِّسَاءِ عَلَى الْفُرْشِ وَلَخَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى الصُّعُدَات تَجْأَرُونَ إِلَى اللَّه لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ شَجَرَةً تُعْضَدُ قَالَ أبو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسِ وَأَنَسٍ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَيُرْوَى مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ أَنَّ أَبَا نَرٌ قَالَ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كنت شَجَرَةٌ تُعْضَ

Translation: 207. Narrated Abu-Zarr: ' The Messenger of Allah said: " I see what you do not see and hear what you do not hear. The heavens have screamed and they have the full right to scream. There is no space the width of four fingers ex cept there is a prostrating angel with his forehead on it for Allah. And by Allah, if you have known what I know, you would weep much and laugh little, you would not enjoy the women in bed, and you would come out on the pathways supplicating to Allah sincerely. I wish that I was a tree that is cut off. " (At-Termizi)

Translation: 208.

Translation: 209. Narrated Abu-Huraira: ' Some cooked meat was brought to Allah's Messenger and the meat from the fore shank was presented to him as he used to like it. He ate a morsel of it and said: " I will be the master of all the people on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know the reason for this? Allah will gather all the human beings from the early generations as well as the later generations on one plain, so that the announcer will be able to make them all hear his voice and the watcher will be able to see all of them. The sun will come so close to the people that they will suffer severe distress and hardship in a way they will not be able to tolerate or bear. Then the people will say to each other: ' Don't you see, what state you have reached? Won't you look for someone who can intercede for you with your Lord? ' Some people will say: ' Go to Adam. ' So they will go to Adam and say to him: ' You are the father of mankind. Allah has created you with His Own Hand, and breathed into you His spirit, and ordered the angels to prostrate before you, and they did, so please intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see what state we are in? Don't you see what condition we have reached? ' Adam will say: ' This day my Lord has become angry as He never became before, nor will ever become hereafter. He forbade me (to eat of the fruit of) the Tree, but I disobeyed Him. I invoke Allah only for myself. I invoke Allah only for myself. I invoke Allah only for myself. Go to someone else; go to Noah. '

And then Allah will guide me to such praises and glorifications to Him as He never guided anybody else before me. Then it will be said: ' O Muhammad! Raise your head, ask and it will be granted. Intercede, and it (your intercession) will be accepted. ' So I will raise my head and say: ' My followers O my Lord! My followers O my Lord! My followers O my Lord. ' It will be said: ' O Muhammad! Let those of your followers who have no accounts, enter through the gate on the right side Paradise and they will share the other gates with the people. " " The Prophet further said: " By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the distance between every two gateposts of Paradise is like the distance between Mecca and Hajar or between Mecca and Bosra (in Greater Syria) ".
