his own self in matters pertaining to Allah, and will save him from His
displeasures'

Thabit Ibn Hajjaj (ra) says that Umar (ra) said, 'Weigh your ownselves
before you yourself are weighed (by Allah). If you do so today, then
tomorrow, on the Day of Judgement, you will have an easy reckoning. So
prepare yourself for the Great Reckoning well in advance before comes the
Day whereon Ye shall be mustered nothing hidden by you shall be hidden
(69:18)'

Anas Ibn Malik (ra) says that one day he was accompanying Umar (ra) and he
entered into a garden. There was a small parapet in between us the two and

surely punish thee' (This he said to himself).
