say:
‘Allah will question His slave on the Day of Resurrection,

says: “What kept you from denouncing evil when you saw
it?” When Allah
grants His slave a response, he will say: “O
Lord, I hoped for Your
mercy but I feared the people.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man used to do sinful deeds, and when death came to him, he said to his sons,
'After my death, burn me and then crush me, and scatter the powder in the air, for by Allah, if Allah
has control over me, He will give me such a punishment as He has never given to anyone else.' When
he died, his sons did accordingly. Allah ordered the earth saying, 'Collect what you hold of his
particles.' It did so, and behold! There he was (the man) standing. Allah asked (him), 'What made you
do what you did?' He replied, 'O my Lord! I was afraid of You.' So Allah forgave him. " Another
narrator said "The man said, Fear of You, O Lord!"
“O my nephew! I heard the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) saying ‘Whoever let his garment drag out of pride,
Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection.’”
