Hadith 215

‘Nahj Al Balagah’ –
‘(Fear) Allah-azwj! (Fear) Allah-azwj, servants of Allah-azwj, for the world is going with you upon a (established) manner, and you and the Hour are in a pairing, and it is as if it has already come with its conditions and approached with its signs, and paused with you upon its path, and as if it has come with its earthquakes, and has put out its claws, and the worlds has broken up its inhabitants, and thrown them out from its embrace. So (now) it is as if a day has passed, and a month has expired, and its new one has become old, and its fat one (has become) thin. In a pausing, the place is narrow, and the matters are greatly confusing, and the Fire, its pain is severe, its flames rising higher, its sparks spreading, its exhalation furious, its blazes in waves, its cooling is remote, that is its ignition, its threat is fearful, its bottom is deep, its horizons are dark, its measurement is vast, (all of its) matters are horrible. And their Lord would Escort those who are pious to Paradise in groups [39: 73]. They would have been secured from the Punishment, and the exhaustion termination, and pushed away from the Fire, and the House having been secured with them, and they would be pleased with the abode and the settlement. Those whose deeds in the world were pure, and their eyes were crying, and their nights in their world were (like) days, fearing and seeking Forgiveness, and their days were (like) nights, lonely and being cut off (from others). Allah-azwj Made Paradise for them as a Reward, and they would be more deserving of it and its rightful ones in the permanent kingdom and everlasting Bliss. [45]
