It is narrated from Sayyida bint Abi Hakam Ghafari (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, a person keeps getting closer to Paradise, until there remains only a hand’s span between him and Paradise, but then he does such (a worst) deed that because of it, he becomes as far from Paradise as (the distance to) Sana’a.
