Riyad as-Salihin, 443
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If a believer had full knowledge of the chastisement of Allah, none would covet His Jannah; and were an infidel to know the Mercy Allah has, none would despair of His Jannah". <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه ، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال" لو يعلم المؤمن ما عند الله من العقوبة، ما طمع بجنته أحد، ولو يعلم الكافر ما عند الله من الرحمة، ما قنط من جنته أحد” ((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The believer is honored by Allah Almighty, as He gives him hope for entering Paradise and guides him to do good deeds.<br>
2) The disbeliever holds no value in the sight of his Lord, as He keeps him away from righteous deeds because he has turned away from Allah and followed worldly desires and vain inclinations.
