The people had dispersed from Abu Hurairah when Natil, a man from the people of Sham, said to him, "Old man, narrate to us a hadith you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."He replied, "Yes. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The first of people to be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who was martyred. He will be brought forward, and Allah will make known to him His blessings, which he will recognize.Allah will ask, "What did you do with them?"He will answer, "I fought for Your sake until I was martyred."Allah will say, "You have lied. Rather, you fought so that it would be said, He is brave. And so it was said." Then the order will be given concerning him, and he will be dragged on his face until he is cast into the Fire.Next, a man who studied knowledge, taught it, and recited the Quran. He will be brought forward, and Allah will make known to him His blessings, which he will recognize.Allah will ask, "What did you do with them?"He will answer, "I studied knowledge and taught it, and I recited the Quran for Your sake."Allah will say, "You have lied. Rather, you studied knowledge so that it would be said, He is a scholar. And you recited the Quran so that it would be said, He is a reciter. And so it was said." Then the order will be given concerning him, and he will be dragged on his face until he is cast into the Fire.Next, a man upon whom Allah bestowed abundance and granted every kind of wealth. He will be brought forward, and Allah will make known to him His blessings, which he will recognize.Allah will ask, "What did you do with them?"He will answer, "I left no path in which You love that wealth be spent without spending in it for Your sake."Allah will say, "You have lied. Rather, you did so that it would be said, He is generous. And so it was said." Then the order will be given concerning him, and he will be dragged on his face and then cast into the Fire.'"
تفرق الناس عن أبي هريرة، فقال له ناتل أهل الشام: أيها الشيخ حدثنا حديثا سمعته من رسول الله ﷺ، قال: نعم سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: إن أول الناس يقضى يوم القيامة عليه رجل استشهد فأتي به، فعرفه نعمه فعرفها، قال: فما عملت فيها؟ قال: قاتلت فيك حتى استشهدت، قال: كذبت، ولكنك قاتلت لأن يقال: جريء، فقد قيل، ثم أمر به فسحب على وجهه حتى ألقي في النار، ورجل تعلم العلم وعلمه، وقرأ القرآن، فأتي به، فعرفه نعمه فعرفها، قال: فما عملت فيها؟ قال: تعلمت العلم وعلمته، وقرأت فيك القرآن، قال: كذبت، ولكنك تعلمت العلم ليقال: عالم، وقرأت القرآن، ليقال: هو قارئ، فقد قيل، ثم أمر به فسحب على وجهه حتى ألقي في النار، ورجل وسع الله عليه وأعطاه من أصناف المال كله، فأتي به، فعرفه نعمه فعرفها، قال: فما عملت فيها؟ قال: ما تركت من سبيل تحب أن ينفق فيها إلا أنفقت فيها لك، قال: كذبت، ولكنك فعلت ليقال: هو جواد، فقد قيل، ثم أمر به فسحب على وجهه ثم ألقي في النار.
