Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 28206a
"يَقِى أَحَدُكُمْ (وَجْهَهُ) () حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَوْ بِتَمْرَةٍ؛ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لاقِى اللَّه وَقَائِلٌ لَهُ مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: أَلَمْ أَجْعَلْ لَكَ سَمْعًا وَبَصَرًا؟ فَيَقُولُ: بَلَى، فَيَقُولُ: أَلَمْ أَجْعَلْ لَكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا؟ فَيَقُولُ: بَلَى، أَيْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ؟ فَيَنْظُرُ قُدَّامَهُ وَبَعْدَهُ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ، ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُ شَيْئًا يَقِى بِه وَجْهَهُ حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ، ليَقِ أَحَدُكُمْ وَجْهَهُ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ، فإنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَبِكَلِمةٍ طيِّبَةٍ، فإِنِّى لا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْفَاقَةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّه نَاصِرُكُمْ وَمُعْطيكُمْ، حَتَّى تَسِيرَ الظَّعِينَةُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ يَثْرِبَ وَالْحِيرَةِ أَكْثَرُ مَا تَخَافُ عَلَى مَطِيَّتِهَا السَّرَقُ".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"Let one of you protect (his face) () from the heat of Hell, even with a date, even with half a date. For one of you will meet Allah, and He will say to him what I say to you: 'Did I not give you hearing and sight?' He will say: 'Yes.' He will say: 'Did I not give you wealth and children?' He will say: 'Yes.' 'Where is what you sent ahead for yourself?' So he looks in front of him and behind him, to his right and to his left, and then finds nothing to protect his face from the heat of Hell. So let one of you protect his face from the Fire, even with half a date. If he cannot find it, then with a good word. For I do not fear poverty for you, for Allah will help you and give to you, until the litter-borne woman travels between Yathrib and al-Hirah, fearing for her mount nothing but theft."
