Sahih al-Bukhari 6254 (Book 81, Hadith 82)
persons fighting on behalf of the Muslims. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Let him who wants to look at a man
from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire, look at this (man).” Another man followed him and kept on
following him till he (the fighter) was injured and, seeking to die quickly, he placed the blade tip of
his sword between his breasts and leaned over it till it passed through his shoulders (i.e., committed
suicide).” The Prophet (ﷺ) added, “A person may do deeds that seem to the people as the deeds of the
people of Paradise while in fact, he is from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire: and similarly a person may
do deeds that seem to the people as the deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire while in fact, he is from
the dwellers of Paradise. Verily, the (results of) deeds done, depend upon the last actions.”
