The First Group of People to Arrive at the Hawdh

 Allah granted the Hawdh of our Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam to him as an honour, and our Lord is the Owner of Honour and Benevolence. Our prophet salla alayhi wa sallam will deserve to be honoured and favoured. The more a believer increases in his faith, belief and does righteous actions, the greater is his prority to drink from the water. The first sets of people who will drink from the Hawdh are the poor emigrants who sacrified their lives, spilled their blood and spent their wealth in the path of Allah. Allah, the All-Knowing, describes their external and internal characteristics in the following words.

´´And there is also a share in this booty for the poor emigrants, who were expeled from their homes and their property, seeking bounties from Allah and to please Him. And helping Allah (i.e. helping His religion) and His Messenger (Muhammad salla alayhi wa sallam). Such are indeed the truthful (to what they say.´´ (Al-Hashr: 8)

The first of them will be Abu Bakr, then Umar, Uthmaan, Ali and the rest of the noble Companions. This is as the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said:

´´And its jugs (pleaved around it) are like stars in the sky; and he who would drink from it would never feel thirsty after that. The first of people to arive thereat are the poor emigrants with dishevelled hair, unkempt clothing...´´230

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.
