It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that in one of the battles there was a man with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who performed remarkable feats of bravery on the battlefield. The Muslims were very pleased with him, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This man is from the people of Hell." We said, "Even though he is in the path of Allah and with the Messenger of Allah?" Allah and His Messenger know best. During the battle, that man was wounded, and when the pain of the wound became severe, he placed his sword on his chest and thrust it through himself. Seeing this, a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and reported, "The man about whom you made that statement—I saw him thrust his sword into his own body." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A person may appear to people to be doing the deeds of the people of Paradise, but in reality, he is from the people of Hell. Similarly, a person may appear to people to be doing the deeds of the people of Hell, but in reality, he is from the people of Paradise."
