> Abu Umaamah al-Baahili said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whilst I was sleeping two men came to me and took my by the arm and brought me to a cragged mountain. They said, ‘Climb up.’ I said, ‘I cannot.’ They said, ‘We will make it easy for you.’ So I climbed up until I was at the top of the mountain. Then I heard loud voices. I said, ‘What are these voices?’ They said, ‘This is the howling of the people of Hell.” Then I was taken until I saw people hanging by their hamstrings, with the sides of their mouths torn and blood pouring from their mouths.’ I said, ‘Who are these?’ He said, ‘These are people who broke their fast before it was time.’” Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah (1986) and Ibn Hibbaan (7491) from Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Mawaarid al-Zam’aan, no. 1509. Shaykh Al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: This is the punishment of those who fasted then broke the fast deliberately before the time for breaking the fast came, so who about those who do not fast at all? We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound in this world and in the Hereafter. If you try fasting and find out how easy it is and what comfort it brings and how close it brings you to Allaah, you will never give it up. Think about what Allaah says at the end of the verses on fasting (interpretation of the meaning): “Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you” [Al-Baqarah 2:185]
