Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad Abu'l-Qasim (the kunya of Allah's Messenger, may peace be upon him), said: He who pointed a weapon towards his brother the angels invoke curse upon him even if he is his real brother so long as he does not abandon it (the pointing of weapon towards one's brother Muslim).) - Sahih Muslim 2616.

Surah Naml (Ayah 89) Anybody who will do righteous good deeds, like smile or any small good deed, the day of judgement they will be secured.

Surely the awliya of Allah, those who believe in Allah and who do not follow their desires, they don t have any fear or any sadness. The more cautious you are, the more secure you are.

They are not ashamed and they are saying with their tongue, and after affirming then they are steadfast. These people will have security even in their feelings, they will not have any fear or grieve. 5
