MOST WEALTHY PERSON AND THE MOST TRIED

463

“The most wealthy person in the world destined for Hell will be brought forward on the Day of Judgement and dipped once into the Fire then asked, ‘O son of Adam, did you ever enjoy anything good, did you ever experience any happiness?’ His reply will be, ‘Never, O Lord.’ Then the one who experienced harshest adversity in the world and is destined for Paradise will be brought forward and dipped once into Paradise then asked, ‘O son of Adam, have you ever experienced adversity, did you ever experience hardship?’ His reply will be, ‘No, I neither experienced adversity nor hardship.’”

Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
