عَنْ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ:
'An 'Adiyyi-bni Hatimin radiyallahu 'anhu yaqul:
On the authority of Adiyy ibn Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلَانِ: أَحَدُهُمَا يَشْكُو الْعَيْلَةَ، وَالْآخَرُ يَشْكُو قَطْعَ السَّبِيلِ.
Kuntu 'inda Rasulillahi, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallama, faja'ahu rajulani: ahaduhuma yashku-l-'aylah, wa-l-akharu yashku qat'a-s-sabil.
I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and there came to him two men: one of them was complaining of poverty, while the other was complaining of brigandry.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَمَّا قَطْعُ السَّبِيلِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ، حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ الْعِيرُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ بِغَيْرِ خَفِيرٍ.
Faqala Rasulullahi sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam: Amma qat'u-s-sabili fa-innahu la ya'ti 'alayka illa qalilun, hatta takhruja-l-'iru ila Makkata bighayri khafir.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: As for brigandry, it will be but a short time before a caravan will be able to go out of Mecca without a guard.
وَأَمَّا الْعَيْلَةُ، فَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا تَقُومُ حَتَّى يَطُوفَ أَحَدُكُمْ بِصَدَقَتِهِ، لَا يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا مِنْهُ.
Wa amma-l-'aylatu, fa-inna-s-sa'ata la taqumu hatta yatafu ahadukum bisadaqatihi, la yajidu man yaqbaluha minh.
As for poverty, the Hour will not arrive before one of you takes his charity around without finding anyone to accept it from him.
ثُمَّ لَيَقِفَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ اللَّهِ، لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ حِجَابٌ وَلَا تَرْجُمَانٌ يُتَرْجِمُ لَهُ.
Thumma layaqifanna ahadukum bayna yaday-llah, laysa baynahu wa baynahu hijabun wa la tarjumanun yutarjimu lah.
Then one of you will surely stand before Allah, there being no screen between Him and him, nor an interpreter to translate for him.
ثُمَّ لَيَقُولَنَّ لَهُ: أَلَمْ أُوتِكَ مَالًا؟ فَلَيَقُولَنَّ: بَلَى.
Thumma layaqulanна lahu: Alam utika malan? Falayaqulanна: Bala.
Then He will say to him: Did I not bring you wealth? And he will say: Yes.
ثُمَّ لَيَقُولَنَّ: أَلَمْ أُرْسِلْ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولًا؟ فَلَيَقُولَنَّ: بَلَى.
Thumma layaqulanna: Alam ursil ilayka rasulan? Falayaqulanna: Bala.
Then He will say: Did I not send to you a messenger? And he will say: Yes.
فَيَنْظُرُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا النَّارَ، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ، فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا النَّارَ.
Fayanzuru 'an yaminihi, fala yara illa-n-nar, thumma yanzuru 'an shimalihi, fala yara illa-n-nar.
And he will look to his right and will see nothing but Hell-fire, then he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire.
فَلْيَتَّقِيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ.
Falyattaqiyanna ahadukumu-n-nara wa law bishiqqi tamrah, fa-in lam yajid fabikalimatin tayyibah.
So let each of you protect himself against Hell-fire, be it with even half a date — and if he finds it not, then with a kind word.
