What had the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say about the Fire in order to protect oneself from it, even if all that could be found was half a date or a pleasant word?
 Adi b. Hatim reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a mention of the Fire and sought refuge (with Allah against it). He turned aside his face three times and then said:                      Protect yourselves against Fire even if with half a date. But if you fail to find it (then protect yourselves against Fire) with the help of a pleasant word).
