- Hadith Qudsi 13:
-
On the authority of Adiyy ibn Hatim (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said:
I was with the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) and there came to him two men: one of them was
complaining of penury (being very poor), while the other was
complaining of brigandry (robbery). The Messenger of Allah (may the
blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: As for brigandry, it
will be but a short time before a caravan will [be able to] go out
of Mecca without a guard. As for penury, the Hour (Day of Judgement)
will not arrive before one of you takes his charity around without
finding anyone to accept it from him. Then (1) one of you will
surely stand before Allah, there being no screed between Him and
him, nor an interpreter to translate for him. Then He will say to
him: Did I not bring you wealth? And he will say: Yes. Then He will
say: Did I not send to you a messenger? And he will say: Yes. And he
will look to his right and will see nothing but Hell-fire, then he
will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire, so let
each of you protect himself against Hell-fire, be it with even half
a date - and if he finds it not, then with a kind word.
(1) i.e. at the time of the Hour. It was related by al-Bukhari.
