Riyad as-Salihin, 252
Harithah bin Wahb (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I heard Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "Shall I not inform you about the people of Jannah? It is every person who is, modest and humble (before Allah), a person who is accounted weak and is looked down upon but if he adjures Allah, Allah will certainly give him what he desires. Now shall I not inform you about the inmates of Hell? It is every violent, impertinent and proud man". <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
عن حارثة بن وهب رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: “ألا أخبركم بأهل الجنة؟ كل ضعيف متضعف ، لو أقسم على الله لأبره. ألا أخبركم بأهل النار؟ كل عتل جواظ مستكبر" ((متفق عليه)) . (21)

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) One of the signs of the people of Paradise is that they do not care when they miss their share of the worldly life. They accept whatever they get and never regret what they miss thereof.<br>
2) One of the signs of the people of Hell is that they are arrogant and boastful. So let everyone beware of assuming the qualities of those who will be tortured.<br>
3) Among the slaves of Allah there are those whom if they take an oath in the Name of Allah, out of trust and hope in Him, Allah will fulfill it for them.
