Chapter X: Remembrance of Death
The Prophet said : No Muslim will die till he sees his place in Hell filled up by a Jew or a Christian. It- was reported that a child was searching his mother in a battle field. Afterwards finding his mother he came running to her. She took her child in her lap and cried out : My child, my child, The Prophet said to his companions. God will show more kindness to you than the mother showing affection to her child. At this, the Muslims were overjoyed and went away. From this Hadis we may cherish hope that God will shower His blessings and kindness on us, even though we are not fit for such favours.
