It was narrated that 'Adiyy bin Hatim said:
The Messenger of Allah mentioned the Fire, and he turned his face away (as if seeing it), and sought refuge with Allah from it. (One of the narrators) Shu'bah said: He did that three times, then he said: 'Protect yourselves from the Fire even with half a date, and if you cannot find that, then with a good word. '
