The Arrogant Poor

 Among them is an indigent who is arrogant. He is poor, with tattered clothes, a coarse bed, an inferior ride, a dilapidated house but at the same time he behaves arrogantly to people and looks at people with condescension. He greets other people with the tips of his hand in arrogance and walks on the earth with pride even though he does not possess any worldly material that should propel him to arrogance. It should be restated that arrogance is generally blameworthy whether it is from the rich or the poor. Concerning all of them matters,

The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said,

Three (are the persons) with whom Allah will neither speak, nor will He absolve them on the Day of Resurrction. Abu Muawiyah added, He would not look at them and there is grievous torment for them, the aged adulterer, a lying king and the proud destitute.

Allah will not speak with these types of people due to the gravity of their sins.

Salvation

 None will be saved on the Day of Resurrection except he who used to worship alah alone with Whom there is no associate. As for the other gods, they will lead their adherents into the Fire.

Voluntary Fasting

 Fasting is one of the major acts of worship with which Allah redeems the fasting person from the Fire. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Fasting is a shield against the Fire (of Hell) just like the shield one of you would use during fighting.´´80 The supererogatory fasting has its virtue. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who observes fast for a day in the path of Allah, He will remove his face from the Hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years.´ distance.´´81 The phrase ´in the path of Allah´ could either mean fasting a day sincerely, intending the pleasure of Allah; or fasting in the course of a military expedition in the path of Allah.

Backbiter and Tale-Bearer

 A backbiter is the individual who indugles in backiting which involves mentioning about your brother that which he would detest. The tale-bearer is the person who varries bad tale among the people in order to cause disaffection among them. These sins cause pervading tribulations, and enormous corruption also stems from them. Their perpetrators are among the worst of people and due to their capricious tongue, they speak as dictated by their whims and desires.  Their situation at the time of resurrection will be appalling as the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned, Whoever eats the flesh of his brother in the world (i.e. bacjbites), he will be presented to him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to him, Eat his dead as you have eaten him alive. He would eat him and he would scowl and scream.
