Sahih Muslim Book - 12, Hadith - 2349

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ عَدِىِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- النَّارَ فَأَعْرَضَ وَأَشَاحَ ثُمَّ قَالَ « اتَّقُوا النَّارَ ». ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ وَأَشَاحَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ كَأَنَّمَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ « اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ ». وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ كَأَنَّمَا وَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ.

It was narrated that Adiyy bin Hatim said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) mentioned the Fire, and he spoke in a very somber manner and said: ‘protect yourselves from the fire.’ He spoke in such a somber manner that we thought that it was if he was looking at it. Then he said: ‘Protect your selves from the fire even if it is with half a date, and whoever does not have that, then with a kind word.’”
