4245. It was narrated from Thawbân that the Prophet ﷺ said: "I certainly know people of my nation who will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the mountains of Tihâmah, but Allâh will make them like scattered dust." Thawbân said: "O Messenger of Allâh, describe them to us and tell us more, so that we will not become of them unknowingly." He said: "They are your brothers and from your race, worshipping at night as you do, but they will be people who, when they are alone, transgress the sacred limits of Allâh." (Hasan)

4245 - حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ الرَّمْلِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ حَدِيجٍ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ، عَنْ أَرْطَاةَ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْأَلْهَانِيِّ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَأَعْلَمَنَّ أَقْوَامًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَأْتُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِحَسَنَاتٍ أَمْثَالِ جِبَالِ تِهَامَةَ بِيضًا، فَيَجْعَلُهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَبَاءً مَنْثُورًا» ، قَالَ ثَوْبَانُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صِفْهُمْ لَنَا، جَلِّهِمْ لَنَا أَنْ لَا نَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ، وَنَحْنُ لَا نَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ، وَمِنْ جِلْدَتِكُمْ، وَيَأْخُذُونَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ كَمَا تَأْخُذُونَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَقْوَامٌ إِذَا خَلَوْا بِمَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ انْتَهَكُوهَا»

Commentary

a. Many sins destroy good deeds. b. Pretending to be pious in the presence of people, and committing sins in privacy without hesitation, is also a kind of hypocrisy, which destroys good deeds. c. Praying Tahajjud (late night prayer) in fact is a good deed, but fearing Allâh in privacy is more important than praying Tahajjud.
