Thinking about death

To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6539

مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ وَسَيُكَلِّمُهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَبَيْنَهُ تُرْجُمَانٌ، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ فَلاَ يَرَى شَيْئًا قُدَّامَهُ، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَتَسْتَقْبِلُهُ النَّارُ، فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ

mā minkum min aḥadin illā wasayukallimuhu-Llāh yawma al-qiyāmah, laysa bayna-Llāh wabaynah turjumānun, thumma yanẓuru falā yarā shayʾan quddāmah, thumma yanẓuru bayna yadayhi fatastaqbiluhu an-nāru, famani āstaṭāʿa minkum an yattaqiya an-nāra walaw bishiqqi tamratin

The full narration

Narrated `Adi bin Hatim:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There will be none among you but will be talked to by Allah on the Day of Resurrection, without there being an interpreter between him and Him (Allah) . He will look and see nothing ahead of him, and then he will look (again for the second time) in front of him, and the (Hell) Fire will confront him. So, whoever among you can save himself from the Fire, should do so even with one half of a date (to give in charity)
