Being tested with sadness in Dunya

Malik Ibn Dinar (رحمه الله) said:

I saw Al-Hasan (رضي الله عنه) in my dream after his death. He was happy and he was glowing white and his tears shone when they flowed.

I asked: “Are you not dead?” He replied in the affirmative.

I added: “What have you attained after death, for indeed you spent much time in sadness on earth?”

He replied: “Allāh has removed sadness from us and has guided to the abodes of the pious (manāzil al-abrār). He has made lawful for us the houses of the righteous (masākin al-muttaqqeen). By Allāh! This is only because of Allāh’s favour upon us.”

I said: “What do you command us to do, O Abu Sa'īd?”

He replied: “I wish people would prolong their sadness in the worldly life such that they have happiness in the Hereafter.”

[Beacon Of Basra]

“There would come a time when bodies would be living and hearts would be dead.”

Al-Humazah - 104:4

كَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ

Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.

ހަމަހިލާ އެހެންނަކުން ނުވާނެއެވެ. ފުނޑުފުޑުކޮށްލަނިވި ނަރަކަޔަށް އޭނާ އެއްލައިލައްވާނެކަން ކަށަވަރެވެ.

English - Ibn Kathir
كَلَّ


But no!

meaning, the matter is not as he claims, nor as he reckons.

Then Allah says,

لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ




Verily, he will be thrown into Al-Hutamah.

meaning, the person who gathered wealth and counted it, will be thrown into Al-Hutamah, which is one of the denoscriptive names of the Hellfire. This is because it crushes whoever is in it.

Thus, Allah says,

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ

AYAT OF THE DAY 🔥

Al-An'am 6:43
فَلَوۡلَآ إِذۡ جَآءَهُم بَأۡسُنَا تَضَرَّعُواْ وَلَٰكِن قَسَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

When Our Torment reached them, why then did they not believe with humility? But their hearts became hardened, and Shaitan (Satan) made fair-seeming to them that which they used to do.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Time will pass rapidly, good deeds will decrease, miserliness will be thrown (in the hearts of the people) afflictions will appear and there will be much 'Al-Harj." They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! What is "Al-Harj?" He said, "Killing! Killing!"

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Avoid the seven great destructive sins." They (the people!) asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! What are they?" He said, "To join partners in worship with Allah; to practice sorcery; to kill the life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islamic law); to eat up usury (Riba), to eat up the property of an orphan; to give one's back to the enemy and fleeing from the battle-field at the time of fighting and to accuse chaste women who never even think of anything touching chastity and are good believers."

Sahih al-Bukhari, 6857

The heart that beats for Allah is always a stranger among the hearts that beats for the Dunya ~
