185. It was narrated that 'Adi bin Hâtim said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ 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.'[1] 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)

Arabic text

185 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا سَيُكَلِّمُهُ رَبُّهُ، لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ تَرْجُمَانٌ، فَيَنْظُرُ مِنْ عَنْ أَيْمَنَ مِنْهُ فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا شَيْئًا قَدَّمَهُ، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ مِنْ عَنْ أَيْسَرَ مِنْهُ فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا شَيْئًا قَدَّمَهُ، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ أَمَامَهُ فَتَسْتَقْبِلُهُ النَّارُ، فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَلْيَفْعَلْ»

Commentary

The Hadith also contains the confirmation of Allâh's attribute of speech. Each person shall render his account by himself. No one in this world should, therefore, put his trust in some religious or divine person for intercession. Virtuous deeds are a prerequisite for deliverance from Hell-fire. Charity is also one of the means of securing deliverance from Allâh's punishment.
