Aḥmad ibn al-Azhar narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Razzāq ibn Hammām narrated to us: Maʿmar informed us, from Ashʿath ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from Shahr ibn Ḥawshab, from Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “A man may act like the people of goodness for seventy years, then when he makes his bequest, he acts unjustly in it, so his life is sealed with an evil deed and he enters the Fire. A man may act like the people of evil for seventy years, then act justly in his bequest, so his life is sealed with a good deed and he enters Paradise.” Abū Hurayrah said: “If you wish, recite the words, These are the limits set by God, through to the words, a humiliating punishment.”
