Muhammad bin Is-haaq said:
Narrated by Sa’eed bin ‘Abdi-Rahmaan bin Hassaan bin Thaabit bin al-Mundir bin Haraam.
That Haraam Aboo al-Mundir lived for 120 years and his son al-Mundir lived for 120 years, and his son Thaabit lived for 120 years, and his son Hassaan lived for 120 years.
Whenever this hadith was narrated to ‘Abdi-Rahmaan he used to lie down on his bed and laugh and stretch (expecting long life). He passed away at the age of 48 [Tahdeeb al-Kamaal by al-Haafidh al-Muzi]

It is often very easy for practising muslims to judge and look down upon non practising muslims, forgetting quickly that it was only through the grace and mercy of Allaah that they themselves were guided.
كَذَلِكَ كُنتُم مِّن قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ
You, too, were once in the same condition - but God has been gracious unto you. [Surah Nisaa]
Narrated by Aboo Hurayrah that he said, I heared the Messenger of Allaah say:
There used to be two brothers from the Children of Israel, one of them used to sin whilst the other was a strong worshipper.
The worshipping brother never used to see the sinning brother except in the state of sin (always committing a sin). And he used to say to him “Decrease!” (in terms of how much sin he used to commit).
Then one day he found him committing yet another sin whereupon he proclaimed “Decrease!” So his brother said to him, leave me alone with my Lord (i.e only He can judge me), were you sent as a guardian over me?! So the worshipping brother said “By Allaah! Allaah will never forgive you! And you will never enter paradise!”
So their souls were taken (i.e they passed away) and were gathered infront of the Lord of the worlds. And (Allaah) said to the worshipper “Did you have any knowledge of Me? Or did you possess the powers that I possesss?”
Then (Allaah) said to the sinner “Go and enter Paradise by My Mercy” And (Allaah) said to the other one “Take him away to the Hell fire!” [Sunan Abee Daawood 4901]

Dear muslims, do not be like the outcast Shaytaan who said to the people ‘Verily I fear Allaah’
In surah Anfaal he said:
إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّنكُمْ إِنِّي أَرَى مَا لاَ تَرَوْنَ إِنِّيَ أَخَافُ اللّهَ وَاللّهُ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
”Behold, I am not responsible for you: behold, I see something that you do not see: behold, I fear God-for God is severe in retribution !”
And in Surah Hashr he said:
إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّنكَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
“Behold, I am not responsible for thee: behold, I fear God, the Sustainer of all the worlds!”
But does this mean that Iblees really fears Allaah? The scholars give different tafsir of these verses.
With regards to Surah Anfaal they say that he is not fearful of Allaah but rather he actually sees the Angels coming towards him and he says what he says just to get away from the people.
In Surah Hashr he says I fear Allaah but what he truly means is he fears his punishment since he knows his destiny.
And some scholars say that it is all a lie to trick mankind, and it is nothing but empty words.
