Question

Narrated by 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (Radiyallahu Anhu) on the authority of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) (On the Day of Judgement) a man will come holding the hand of another man and say: O Lord! It is he who killed me. Allah will say: Why did you kill him? He will say: I killed him so that glory may be established for you. Allah will say: Indeed it. Then another will come taking hold of another fellow's hand and say: It is he who killed me. Allah will ask him: Why did you kill him? He will say: I killed him so that glory may be established for so-and-so person. Allah will say: Indeed glory is not his. (So the killer will bear the sin).

Please explain!

Answer

The Hadith indicates towards ikhlaas (sincerity) in all our actions.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
