sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said,
" Paradise is nearer to any of you than the strap of hisshoe, and so
is the (Hell) Fire." [Ahmad 1:387]
Al-Bukhari collected this Hadith through the narration of Ath-Thawri
[Fath al-Bari 11:328]. This Hadith indicates the close proximity of
both good and evil in relation to mankind. If this is the case, then
this is the reason Allah the Exalted encouraged mankind to rush to
perform acts of righteousness and obedience and to avoid
theprohibitions. By doing so, their sins and errors will beforgiven
and they will acquire rewards and an exalted status. Allah the Exalted
said,
"Race with one another in hastening towards forgiveness from your
Lord, and Paradise the width whereof is as the width of the heaven and
the earth."
Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah,
"And march forth in the way (to) forgiveness fromyour Lord, and for
Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who
have Taqwa." (3:133)
Allah said here,
"prepared for those who believe in Allah and His Messengers. That is
the grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He is pleased with. And
Allah isthe Owner of the great bounty."
Meaning, "This, that Allah has qualified them for, is alla part of His
favor, bounty and compassion." We mentioned a Hadith collected in the
Sahih in which the poor emigrants said to the Messenger, sallallahu
`alayhi wa sallam, "O Allah's Messenger! The wealthy people will get
higher grades and permanent enjoyment." He asked,"Why is that?" They
said,"They pray like us and fast as we do. However, they give in
charity, whereas wecannot do that, and they free servants, whereas we
cannot afford it."
