Hadith 2: Sincerity

Riyâd-us-Sâliheen


Chapter 1: Sincerity and significance of intentions for all actions, apparent and hidden



Hadîth 2

‘Âishah رضي الله عنها reported: Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “An army will raid the Ka’bah and when it reaches a desert land, all of them will be swallowed up by the earth.” She asked; “O Messenger of Allâh! Why all of them?” He answered, “All of them will be swallowed by the earth but they will be raised for Judgement according to their intentions.” 

[Al-Bukhârî and Muslim]

Everyone will be rewarded or punished according to his aim and intention. This Hadîth also proves that the company of depraved persons is extremely dangerous. Whose army would it be, which has been referred to in the Hadîth, and when will it invade Ka’bah, is a matter known to Allâh Alone. Such prophecies are a part of the Unseen world. Since they come in the category of the miracles of the Prophet (SAW), it is necessary to believe in their veracity and occurance. Believing in such prophesies is also essential because they were revealed by Allâh.
