Will you explain the hadith "Allah will not accept the thawabs of some people on the Day of Judgment"?
I know people of my nation who will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the mountains of Tihamah. Allah Almighty will make them like scattered dust (worthless)." Will you explain this hadith?

Dear Brother / Sister,
Thawban radiyallahu anh narrates: "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said,
“I know people of my nation who will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the mountains of Tihamah. Allah Almighty will make them like scattered dust (worthless).”
Thawban said, “O Messenger of Allah! Describe them to us and tell us more so that we will not become of them unknowingly.” The Prophet (pbuh) said,
“They are your brothers and from your race, worshipping at night as you do, but they will be people who, when they are alone, transgress the sacred limits of Allah." (Ibn Majah, Zuhd 29)
EXPLANATION:
In this hadith, how negatively the sins that are committed affect man’s deeds is expressed. The Prophet warns the people who commit sins, who do not repent and who insist on sins with that statement.
Besides he also teaches the people who commit sins and then do good deeds thinking, "I will eliminate my sins with my good deeds" how wrong this thought is.
Questions on Islam
- What is the meaning of the statement "It is true that retaliation and reckoning will take place between enemies through taking the good deeds of each other on the Day of Judgment"?
- Is there a hadith about "the sun being drawn closer and people being in sweat up to their throats on the Day of Judgment"?
- Thawban (r.a.)
- "The time for the water of the Euphrates to drain and to display its treasure of gold is approaching. He who is present then must not take anything from it." Is there such a hadith? Will you explain how we should understand that hadith?
- Will animals go to the arena of the Gathering Place (Mahshar), too? What will their shares from the life in the hereafter be?
- Is “Every prostration will elevate you one degree and will delete one of your sins” a hadith?
- Are there any prayers that the Prophet (pbuh) performed after the morning prayer (fajr)? Is it permissible for a person who starts to perform awwabin prayer as four rak’ahs to perform it as two rak’ahs?
- What are the Characteristics of the Religion of Islam?
- It is emphasized in some verses that what unbelievers do are of no use. However, the following is stated in verse 7 of the chapter of az-Zilzal: "Then shall anyone who has done an atom´s weight of good, see it…". How will you explain it?
- Those who touch the dust of usury
