Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Some people will be ordered to be thrown into Hell on the Day of Judgment. The Almighty Allah will ask the angel of fire not to burn their feet for they walked with them to the mosque. Also He will order not to burn their faces for they used to face Allah while supplicating. He will order not to burn their tongues for they used to recite Quran excessively.

The attendant of Hell will ask those people about their sin. They will that they used to perform good deeds for others instead of Allah. Those people will be ordered to go and ask for reward from the persons for whom they performed good deeds.”
