The first for whom the Fire is kindled on the Day of Resurrection are three: a scholar, a fighter in the path of Allah, and a wealthy man. The scholar is brought and it is said to him: What did you do with what you knew? He says: O my Lord, I spread it in Your path. It is said to him: You lied; you only did it so that people would say: So-and-so is a scholar. And it has been said. Take him to the Fire. Then the fighter is brought and it is said to him: What did you do with the strength You blessed you with? He says: I fought in Your path. It is said to him: You lied; you only fought so that people would say: So-and-so is a hero, so-and-so is brave. And it has been said. Take him to the Fire. The wealthy man is brought and it is said to him: What did you do with the wealth You blessed you with? He says: O my Lord, I spent it in Your path. It is said to him: You lied; you only... so that people would say: So-and-so is generous. And it has been said. Take him to the Fire.
أوَّل مَن تُسْعَرُ بهم النار يوم القيامة ثلاثة : عالمٌ ، ومجاهدٌ ، وغنيٌّ ، فيُؤتى بالعالم فيُقال له : ماذا عملت بما علمت ؟ فيقول : يا ربي نشرته في سبيلك . فيُقال له : كذبت ؛ إنما فعلت ليقول الناس : فلان عالم ، وقد قيل ، خذوا به إلى النار ، ثم يُؤتى بالمجاهد فيقال له : ماذا عملت بما أنعمت عليك من قوَّة ؟ فيقول : جاهدت في سبيلك . فيُقال له : كذبت ، إنما قاتلت ليقول الناس : فلان بطل ، فلان شجاع ، وقد قيل ، خذوا به إلى النار ، يُؤتى بالغنيِّ فيقال له : ماذا عملت فيما أنعمت عليك من المال ؟ فيقول : يا رب أنفقته في سبيلك . فيقال له : كذبت ، إنما ... ليقول الناس : فلان كريم ، وقد قيل ، خذوا به إلى النار
