Fear (of Allah)

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ‏:‏ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُطْبَةً مَا سَمِعْتُ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ، فَقَالَ‏:‏ ‏"‏لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلاً وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا‏"‏ فَغَطَّى أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وُجُوهَهُمْ، ولهم خنين‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ‏:‏ بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ شئ فَخَطَبَ ، فَقَالَ‏:‏ ‏"‏عُرِضَتْ عَلَىَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ، فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ، وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلاً، وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا‏"‏ فَمَا أَتَى عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمٌ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ، غطوا رؤوسهم ولهم خنين‏.‏

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a Khutbah to us the like of which I had never heard from him before. He said, "If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much". Thereupon those present covered their faces and began sobbing. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard of something about his Companions upon which he addressed them and said, "Jannah and (Hell) Fire were shown to me and I have never seen the like of this day in good and in evil. If you were to know what I know, you would laugh little and weep much". His Companions experienced such suffering on that day that had no equal. They covered their faces and began to weep.
