THREE THINGS TO DO TO GET DELIVERANCE

Hazrat Aqaba Ibne-Amir RAA says that he once asked Rasool Allah SAW, "Ya Rasool Allah SAW! What is the way to deliverance?" meaning how to escape the fire of Jahannum (hell), how to make Allah Ta'alah happy, how to get entry into Jannah (heaven)?

Rasool Allah SAW said three sentences in reply, which can be translated as follows,
1. Be careful about what you say. Meaning do not say anything that would displease Allah Ta'alah.
2. Your home should be enough for you. Meaning do not get out of home unnecessarily so that you do not get involved in opportunities of sins outside home.
3. If you commit a sin, then cry over it. What it means is that feel guilty about it, repent over it, ask Allah Ta'alah for forgiveness for it. It doesn't literally mean crying.
