Resurrected & Recompensed Alone

O son of Adam! You will die alone, be resurrected alone and be recompensed alone. O son of Adam! If all people obey Allah and you disobey him, their obedience will not benefit you. If they all disobey Allah and you obey him, their disobedience will not harm you. O son of Adam! Beware of your sins, for it is your flesh and blood at stake. If you are saved from the evil repercussions of your sins, you are flesh and blood will be saved for you. If it is the other destination, then it is a Fire that will never be extinguished, a body that will never perish [eternal torment] and a soul that will never die.

—Al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī [d 110H/728CE]

(al-Hasan al-Basri, p.101)
