English translation

4321. It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "On the Day of Resurrection the disbeliever who lived the most luxurious will be brought, and it will be said: 'Dip him once in Hell.' So he will be dipped in it, then it will said to him: 'O so-and-so, have you ever enjoyed any pleasure?' He will say: 'No, I have never enjoyed any pleasure.' Then the believer who suffered the most hardship and trouble will be brought and it will be said: 'Dip him once in Paradise.' So he will be dipped in it and it will be said to him: 'O so-and-so, have you ever suffered any hardship or trouble?' He will say: 'I have never suffered any hardship or trouble.'" (Sahih)

4321 - حَدَّثَنَا الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يُؤْتَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَنْعَمِ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ، فَيُقَالُ: اغْمِسُوهُ فِي النَّارِ غَمْسَةً، فَيُغْمَسُ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ يُخْرَجُ، ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لَهُ: أَيْ فُلَانُ هَلْ أَصَابَكَ نَعِيمٌ قَطُّ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لَا، مَا أَصَابَنِي نَعِيمٌ قَطُّ، وَيُؤْتَى بِأَشَدِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ضُرًّا، وَبَلَاءً، فَيُقَالُ: اغْمِسُوهُ غَمْسَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ، فَيُغْمَسُ فِيهَا غَمْسَةً، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: أَيْ فُلَانُ هَلْ أَصَابَكَ ضُرٌّ قَطُّ، أَوْ بَلَاءٌ، فَيَقُولُ: مَا أَصَابَنِي قَطُّ ضُرٌّ، وَلَا بَلَاءٌ "

Commentary

The blessings of this world compared to the blessings of Paradise are like a drop of water in an ocean. The same fact is true if the hardship of this world is compared to the punishments of Hell. Displeasing Allāh for the comforts of this world which are very insignificant, incomplete and temporary, is great foolishness.
