Riyad as-Salihin - Combining Fear and Hope - Hadith

Chapter: On
combining Fear and Hope

Know that what is best for the slave in the state of health is for
him to be fearful and hopeful, and that his fear and hope be equal. When he is
ill, hope is purified. The bases of the Shari'a in the Book and the Sunna and
elsewhere demonstrate that.

Allah Almighty says, "No one feels secure against Allah's devising
except for those who are lost," (W7:98; H7:99)

and the Almighty says,
"No one despairs of solace from Allah except for those who are
unbelievers." (12:87)

The Almighty says, "On the Day when faces are
whitened and some faces are blackened," (3:106)

and the Almighty says,
"Your Lord is swift in retribution, and He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
(7:167)

The Almighty says, "The truly good will be in perfect Bliss,.
The dissolute will be in the Blazing Fire," (82:13-14)

and the Almighty
says, "As for him whose balance is heavy, he will have a most pleasant
life. But as for him whose balance is light, his motherland is Hawiya."
(W101:5-8; H101:6-9)

There are many ayats with this meaning and fear and
hope are joined together in two consecutive ayats, several ayats or one
ayat.

443. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If the believers knew the punishment
which Allah has, none of them would have any hope of attaining His Garden. If
the unbelievers knew the mercy which Allah has, none of them would despair of
reaching His Garden." [Muslim]

444. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "When a body is laid out and the men carry
it on their shoulders, if it was righteous, it says, 'Take me forward,' and it
was it not righteous, it says, 'Woe to me, where are you taking it?'' Everything
except man hears its voice. If he were to hear it, he would faint." [al-Bukhari]

445. Ibn Mas'ud reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The Garden is nearer to you than your own sandal strap
and it is the same with the Fire." [al-Bukhari]
