حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ عَدِيِّ ابْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مِنْکُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا سَيُکَلِّمُهُ رَبُّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ تَرْجُمَانٌ فَيَنْظُرُ مِنْ عَنْ أَيْمَنَ مِنْهُ فَلَا يَرَی إِلَّا شَيْئًا قَدَّمَهُ ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ مِنْ عَنْ أَيْسَرَ مِنْهُ فَلَا يَرَی إِلَّا شَيْئًا قَدَّمَهُ ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ أَمَامَهُ فَتَسْتَقْبِلُهُ النَّارُ فَمَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْکُمْ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَلْيَفْعَلْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 185
It was narrated that ‘Adi bin Hätim said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘There is no one among you but his Lord will speak to him without any intermediary between them. He will look to his right and will not see anything but that which he sent forth. He will look to his left and will not see anything but that which he sent forth. Then he will look in front of him and will be faced with the Fire. So whoever among you can protect himself from the Fire, even by means of half a date, let him do so.” (Sahih)
