Adi ibn Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There is none of you except that his Lord will speak to him without an interpreter or a veil between them. He will look to his right and see nothing but what he sent forth of his deeds, look to his left and see nothing but what he sent forth, and look ahead and see nothing but the Fire facing him. So fear the Fire, even if with half a date.” 1

Note 1
(1) His statement: “Even if with half a date”: This has two meanings: one, fear the Fire and do not oppress anyone, even with half a date; two, fear it by giving half a date in charity. This hadith was mentioned in the chapter on charity, indicating the validity of both meanings, with the second being more apparent. (As stated in Al-Lama’at)

(۱) قوله: ولو بشق تمرة له معنيان، أحدهما: فاتقوا النار، ولا تظلموا أحدا، ولو بشق تمرة، وثانيهما: اتقوها ولو بتصدق شق تمرة. وقد أورد هذا الحديث في باب الصدقة، وقد أشار بذكره في الموضعين إلى صحة إرادة المعنيين، والثاني أظهر. كذا في «اللمعات».
