This great form of remainder reminds me of following:
1. Surah Qaf. Story of Musa (as)
2. Another Hadith, my Sister was mentioning today, where she recalled,
how three 'good man 'were shocked when they are ordained to go to hell.
a. For the first man being a Quran Teacher, where he shared what he knew and taught his followers the Tajweed and iklaam of Allah (swt) fully with all to respect- The Quran-ul Majid.
b.The second man, where he never missed his prayers, he was consistent with remember's & dkhir of Allah swt.
c. ? (cant remember :) )
Then the men said, they have done plenty of good deeds through out their lives, and still being permitted to hell fire...all of this couldnt make sense to them? So, they asked Allah swt.
Allah (swt) responded in their reply, whatever these men's were doing, they were doing it for fame/publicity of the fame of this duniya. while their intentions werent pure nor they were to sake of Allah swt's pleasure and mercy alone. so thats was the reason why they were admitted to fire.
May Allah swt protect us from such harsh punishments and so much arrogrance and pride ameen.
3. Bankruptcy by Sheikh Sulimann @ RIS Conference- A great speech mashaAllah.
ameen.
ah yes, just to comment on ur second point about that hadith, i believe its a martyr..heres the hadith:
One whose intention is not pure will deserve Hell in the Hereafter. Purity of intention is essential in all deeds
1) Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Messenger (pbuh) saying: The first of the people whose case will be decided on the Day of Judgment will be a man who died as a martyr. He will be brought forth. Allah will make him know about His blessings (which He had bestowed on him in the World). The man will acknowledge them. Then Allah will ask him: What did you do with them? He will say: I fought in Your way until I died as a martyr. Allah will remark: You are lying. You fought so that you may be called a brave warrior. Then orders will be passed against him. So he will be dragged along on his face and cast into Hell.
Second will be a man who studied (religious) knowledge. Then he taught it to others and recited the Qur'an. He will be brought (for Judgment). Allah will remind him of His favors (showered on him in the world). He will admit them (having enjoyed them in his life). Then Allah will ask him: What did you do with them? He will reply: I acquired knowledge and imparted it and also recited the Qur'an for Your sake. Allah will observe: You have told a lie, for you got knowledge to be renowned as a scholar; and you recited the Qur'an to be marked as a Qari (one who recites the Qur'an according to the rules). Then orders will be passed against him. So he will be dragged along on his face and thrown into Hell.
Third will be a man to whom Allah had made abundantly rich and granted him every kind of wealth. He will be brought for judgment. Allah will let him know about His gifts conferred upon him in the world. He will recognize them. Then Allah will inquire: What did you with them? He will say: I left no way in which you like money to be spent without spending in it for your sake. Allah will say: You are lying. You did so to be described as generous (in the society); (It means you got your reward in the world according to your intention). Now you deserve nothing in the Hereafter except Hell). So orders will be passed against him and he will be dragged along on his face until he will be hurled into Hell.
(This Hadith is sound and related by Muslim and An-Nasa'i)

arrogance is one of the biggest sins in islam, afterall it did make one of the best angels (iblees) be condemned to hell subhanallah
fi aman Allah
