Sahih Muslim #6907

Characteristics of the Day of Judgment, Paradise, and Hell
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لأَهْوَنِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا لَوْ كَانَتْ لَكَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا أَكُنْتَ مُفْتَدِيًا بِهَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ أَرَدْتُ مِنْكَ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَنْتَ فِي صُلْبِ آدَمَ أَنْ لاَ تُشْرِكَ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ - وَلاَ أُدْخِلَكَ النَّارَ فَأَبَيْتَ إِلاَّ الشِّرْكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
Allah, the Exalted and High, would say to one who shall have to undergo the least torture (on the Day of Resurrection): Would you like to go as ransom if you had all worldly riches; he would say: Yes. Allah would say to him: When you were in the loins of Adam, I demanded from you something easier than this that you should not associate anything with Me. (The narrator says): I think He also said: I would not cause you to enter Hell-Fire but you defied and attributed Divinity (to others besides Me).
Narrated by Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

Context

In this hadith, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) conveys a profound message about the consequences of disbelief and the ease of faith. The least punished person in Hell is asked if he would trade all worldly possessions to escape punishment, to which he affirms. Allah reminds him that He had asked for something far simpler: to not associate partners with Him while he was in the loins of Adam. This highlights the gravity of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and the mercy of Allah's demands.

Modern Application

This hadith serves as a reminder of the importance of monotheism and the consequences of straying from it. In today's context, it encourages individuals to reflect on their beliefs and actions, ensuring they align with the principle of worshiping Allah alone without associating partners with Him.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment and Divine Justice because it discusses the consequences of one's beliefs and actions in the afterlife, emphasizing the justice of Allah in dealing with those who commit shirk.

And Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, "Indeed, Allah had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with Allah] before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment."
