and arrogant.”

|H 1662
“One of the first men to be judged on the Day of Judgement will be
one who was martyred. He will be summoned and shown all the
bounties bestowed upon him. He will recognize them and asked,
'How did you use them?' He will reply, 'I fought in Your Way and was
martyred.' He will be told, 'You lie; rather, you fought so that it might
be said you were brave; and so it was said.' Then he will be
subjected to the order and dragged upon his face until he is thrown
into the Fire.
Then a man will be brought who had acquired knowledge, taught it
and recited the Koran. He will be summoned and shown the
bounties bestowed upon him. He will recognize them and asked,
'How did you use them?' He will reply, 'I acquired knowledge, taught
it and recited the Koran for Your Sake.' He will be told, 'You lie;
rather, you acquired knowledge so that you might be called a
knowledgeable person, and recited the Koran so that you might be
called a reciter; and so it was said. Then he will be subjected to the
order and dragged upon his face until he is thrown into the Fire.
A man will be brought on whom Allah will have bestowed plenty and
every type of wealth. He will be shown the bounties bestowed on
him. He will recognize them and asked. 'How did you use them?' He
will say, 'I spent upon every one of the causes that are loved to be
spent upon and left none in order to win Your pleasure.' He will be
told, 'You lie; rather, you did all that so that you might be called
generous; and so it was said.' Then he will be subjected to the order
and dragged upon his face until he is thrown into the Fire.”
