Epigraph
We shall certainly question those to whom messengers were sent ––
and We shall question the messengers themselves –– and, with full knowledge, for We were never far from them, We shall tell them what they did. On that Day the weighing of deeds will be true and just: those whose good deeds are heavy on the scales will be the ones to prosper, and those whose good deeds are light will be the ones who have lost their souls through their wrongful rejection. (Al Quran 7:6-9)

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Do you know who is a bankrupt person or a pauper? They (the Sahabah) said: “A poor man among us is one who has neither Dirhams nor any goods.”
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “The [real] pauper from my Ummah would be he who will come on the Day of Qiyamah with Salah, fasts and Zakah but he had hurled abuses upon someone, slandered others, unlawfully consumed the wealth of someone, shed the blood of another and struck others. So his good deeds will be credited to these people [who suffered at his hand]. If his good deeds get depleted before he can settle [those he oppressed], then their sins will be flung onto him and he would be thrown in the Fire.
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2581)
