Hadith 110

released them except to the hardship, or irradiate for them except the darkness, or make their consequences to be except the Fire? Is it for this you are inheriting, or upon it you are awaiting, or to it you are reassured? Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying: One who wanted the life of the world and its adornments, We shall Fulfil their deeds therein and they would not be devalued [11: 15]. They are those, there wouldn’t be for them in the Hereafter except the Fire, and it would be Confiscated whatever they had been doing in it, and it would be invalidated whatever they had been working [11: 16]. Miserable is the house for the one who did not accuse it and did not be upon a fear from it. Remember during its turning away with you, the quickness of its termination from you, and imminence (nearness) of its decline, and weakness of its area. Do you not find yourselves upon an example of the ones who were before you, and find the ones who were before you having had been upon an example of the ones who had been before them?

And like what Majestic is His-azwj Praise, Said: So, these are their dwellings. There have not been lived in from after them except a little (while); and We were the Inheritors [28: 58]. Surely the world, weak are its demands, and turbid are its drinks, slurry is its rain. It is a deceptive rebel, a fatal poison, and a tilted bracket.
