Adi ibn Hatim al-Ta'i narrated from the Messenger of Allah who said:
A group of people will be ordered on the Day of Resurrection to go to Paradise,
until they come close to it, inhale its fragrance, and see its palaces and what Allah has prepared for its inhabitants in it,
A voice called out: Turn them away from it, for they have no share in it.
They will return with a regret and remorse the likes of which none of the first or last have ever experienced.
They will say: Our Lord, if You had put us into the Fire before showing us what You showed us of the reward You prepared for Your close ones, it would have been easier for us.
Allah, the Almighty, will say: That is what I intended for you,
When you were alone, you would boldly commit great sins against Me,
And when you met people, you met them humbly,
You show off to people with your deeds contrary to what you give Me from your hearts,
You feared people and did not fear Me,
You revered people and did not revere Me,
You gave up things for people and did not give up anything for Me,
Meaning for the sake of people.
So today I will let you taste My painful punishment along with what I have deprived you of My generous reward.
