'Adi bin Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Guard yourselves against the Fire (of Hell) even if it be only with half a date-fruit (given in charity); and if you cannot afford even that, you should at least say a good word." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
عن عدي بن حاتم رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
اتقوا النار ولو بشق تمرة فمن لم يجد فبكلمة طيبة
((متفق عليه)) .
