1573. It was narrated from Sâlim that his father said: "A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, my father used to uphold the ties of kinship, and so and so forth, where is he?' He said: 'In the Fire.' It was as if he found that difficult to bear. Then he said: 'O Messenger of Allāh. Where is your father?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whenever you pass by the grave of an idolater, give him the tidings of Hell-fire.' The Bedouin later became Muslim, and he said:
'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gave me a difficult task. I never passed the grave of an idolater but I gave him the tidings of Hell-fire.'''(Da'if)

Commentary
The biggest good deeds, without the acceptance of Islam, cannot be a source of delivering one from Hell.
The certainty of the noble Prophet's prophethood will not be deliverance in this world nor in the Hereafter, until one accepts Islam truly and promises to obey the Noble Prophet ﷺ and practice the principles of Islamic law.
If such a question is made that answering it clearly and openly can be problematic, then the questioner's attention can be drawn wisely to another good thing.
