عَنْ عَدِيِّ بنِ حاتِمٍ رضي اللهُ عنه قال: قال رسولُ اللهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم: «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا سيُكَلِّمُه ربُّه لَيْس بَيْنَهُ وبَينَهُ تَرْجُمَان، فَينْظُرُ أَيْمنَ مِنْهُ فَلا يَرى إِلَّا مَا قَدَّم، وينْظُر أشأمَ مِنْهُ فلا يَرَى إلَّا ما قَدَّمَ، وَينْظُر بَيْنَ يدَيْهِ فَلا يَرى إلَّا النَّارَ تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ، فاتَّقُوا النَّارَ ولوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرةٍ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجدْ فَبِكَلِمَة طيِّبَةٍ» متفق عليه.
'Adi ibn Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "There is none among you but that his Lord will speak to him, with no interpreter between them. He will look to his right and see nothing but what he has sent forth, and he will look to his left and see nothing but what he has sent forth, and he will look before him and see nothing but the Fire facing him. So guard yourselves against the Fire, even with half a date; and whoever does not find that, then with a kind word." [Agreed upon]

الحثّ على الصدقات بقدر الإمكان والتخلّق بالخصال الحميدة. المعاملة باللّطف ولين الكلام. التحلي بفعل الطاعات والتخلي عن المنكرات حتى لا يخجل المؤمن من أعماله بين يدي الله عز وجل. قرب العبد من الله تعالى يوم القيامة إذ ليس بينهما حجاب ولا واسطة ولا ترجمان. أن يحذر المؤمن من مخالفة أمر ربه. مسؤولية الإنسان عن عمله، فليحرص على العمل الصالح الذي ينفعه يوم القيامة ويستره من النار.
Encouragement to give charity as much as one is able and to adopt praiseworthy traits. Dealing with others with gentleness and soft speech. Adorning oneself with acts of obedience and abandoning forbidden things, so that the believer is not ashamed of his deeds before Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. The nearness of the servant to Allah, Exalted is He, on the Day of Resurrection, since there is between them no veil, no intermediary, and no interpreter. That the believer should beware of opposing the command of his Lord. A person's responsibility for his deeds, so let him be eager for righteous deeds that will benefit him on the Day of Resurrection and shield him from the Fire.
