Fire along with (others) that enter!" (Surah 66, Al-Tahrim, verse 10).

61) Their eyes will be cast down, - ignominy will cover them; seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to prostate in adoration, while they were in good shape, (and had refused).

72) Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (Peace be upon him) said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till Allah removes his difficulties.) And an impious wicked person is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till Allah cuts (breaks) it down when He wishes." (Sahih Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 70, Number 547: Book of Patients) (Islambase Publications).

73) Narrated Abu Huraira: A man used to eat much, but when he embraced Islam, he started eating less.

There were some marks of the rainfall during the night. At the conclusion of prayer he turned towards people and observed: Do you know what your Lord has said? They replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: He (Allah) said: Some of My bondsmen entered the morning as My believers and some as unbelievers. He who said: We have had a rainfall due

to the Blessing and Mercy of Allah, he is My believer and a disbeliever of stars, and who said: We have had a rainfall due to the rising of such and such (star) disbelieved Me and affirmed his faith in the stars. (Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Faith, Kitab Al-Iman, Hadees No 132, Chapter 33: The Unbelief Of One Who Said: We Got Rainfall By The Movement (Of The Stars) http://www.mclean.faithweb.com).
