Hadith of the Week 12

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “I know of a people from within my Ummah who will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the Tihama Mountains in quantity, pure and white. Allah will make those deeds like dust scattering in the wind.

Thawban then said: “O Messenger of Allah! Describe them to us. Make them known to us so that we will not be of them without realizing it.

He said: “They are your brethren and your countrymen. They take from their nights (for prayer) as you do. However, they are people who when they are alone with the limits of Allah, they violate them.” [ Sunan Ibn Mâjah (4235) – authenticated by al-Bûsîrî]
