FATAL INDULGENCES

631

“The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was asked, ‘What should one pursue to be admitted into Paradise?’ The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, answered, ‘Being mindful of one's duty to Allah and good behavior.’ Then he was asked, ‘What indulgence pushes a person into the Fire?’ He answered, ‘The mouth and the genitalia.’’’

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was asked this.
