The answer

Ibn Majah narrated: "Among the worst people in rank before Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a servant who ruined his afterlife for the worldly life of another." Al-Albani graded all similar narrations as weak. Al-Ghazali and Al-Fayrouzabadi cited a similar meaning from the poet's saying: "I marvel at one who trades guidance for misguidance, and at one who buys his worldly life with religion, I marvel even more. And more astonishing than these two is he who sells his religion for the worldly life of another; he is more wretched than those."
