Hadith on Hereafter: If you really knew Allah’s mercy or punishment

Abu Sa’id reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “If you knew the measure of Allah’s mercy, you would take it for granted and only perform a few good deeds. If you knew the measure of Allah’s wrath, you would think there is no way you could be saved.”

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ قَدْرَ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ لاتَّكَلتُمْ عَلَيهَا وَمَا عَمِلتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ قَدْرَ غَضَبِ اللهِ لَظَنَنْتُمْ بِأنْ لَا تَنْجُوا
