It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to his uncle: 'Say La ilaha illallah, and I will bear witness for you on the Day of Resurrection.' He said: 'Were it not that Quraish would shame me, and say "It is only fear (of death) that made him do that," then I would have delighted your eyes.' Then Allah revealed: Verily, you (O Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills..."

حَدَّثَنِيْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ،قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُوْ حَازِمٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَمِّهِ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَشْهَدُ لَكَ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ تُعَيِّرَنِي قُرَيْشٌ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا حَمَلَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَزَعُ لَأَقْرَرْتُ بِهَا عَيْنَكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ { إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ }.[القصص:56]

It was narrated that 'Uthman said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Whoever dies knowing (and acknowledging) that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, he will enter Paradise.'"

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "We were with the Prophet (s.a.w) on a journey and the people's provisions were about to run out, so they were thinking of slaughtering some of their mounts. 'Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, why don't you collect whatever provisions the people have left, and pray to Allah (for His blessings) over them?' So he did that. The one who had wheat brought his wheat, the one who had dates brought his dates" - and Mujahid said: "the one who had date-stones brought his date-stones."' I said: "What did they do with date-stones?" He said: "They used to suck on them and drink water at the same time" "Then he prayed over them, until the people were able to replenish their provisions.' Then he said: 'I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah. No one meets Allah ( believing) in these two (statements) and not doubting them, but he will enter Paradise.''

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّضْرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَسِيرٍ قَالَ فَنَفِدَتْ أَزْوَادُ الْقَوْمِ قَالَ حَتَّى هَمَّ بِنَحْرِ بَعْضِ حَمَائِلِهِمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ جَمَعْتَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ أَزْوَادِ الْقَوْمِ فَدَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ فَفَعَلَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ ذُو الْبُرِّ بِبُرِّهِ وَذُو التَّمْرِ بِتَمْرِهِ قَالَ وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ وَذُو النَّوَاةِ بِنَوَاهُ قُلْتُ وَمَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ بِالنَّوَى قَالَ كَانُوا يَمُصُّونَهُ وَيَشْرَبُونَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ قَالَ فَدَعَا عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى مَلَأَ الْقَوْمُ أَزْوِدَتَهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَا يَلْقَى اللَّهَ بِهِمَا عَبْدٌ غَيْرَ شَاكٍّ فِيهِمَا إِلَّا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah, or Abu Sa'eed - Al-A'mash was not sure - said: "On the day of the battle of Tabuk, the people became hungry and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, why don't you give us permission to slaughter our camels, and we will eat them and make use of their fat.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Do that.' Then 'Umar came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, if you do that we will have few mounts. Rather call them to bring whatever provisions they have left, then pray to Allah over them, asking Him to bless them for them, and perhaps Allah will bless them.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Yes.' He called for a leather mat and spread it out, then he called for their leftover provisions . One man brought a handful of corn, another brought a handful of dates, and another brought a piece of bread, until a little food had been collected on the leather mat. Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) prayed for blessing for it, then he said: 'Put it in your vessels.' They filled their vessels until there was no vessel left in the camp that was not filled. They ate until they were full, and there was plenty left over. Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah. No one who meets Allah (believing) in them and not doubting them will be kept away from Paradise."'

'Ubadah bin As-Samit said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Whoever says: I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah alone [with no partner] and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, and that 'Eisa is the slave of Allah, the son of His maidservant, a Word which He bestowed upon Mariam and a Spirit from (created by) Him, and that Paradise is true and that Hell is true," Allah will admit him through whichever of the eight gates of Paradise he wants."'

حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَيْرُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جُنَادَةُ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَنَّ عِيسَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَابْنُ أَمَتِهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُ، وَأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ النَّارَ حَقٌّ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ شَاءَ.

A similar report (as no. 140) was narrated from 'Umair bin Hani' with this chain, except that he said: "Allah will admit him to Paradise whatever be his deeds." and he did not say, "through whichever of the eight gates of Paradise he wants."

و حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِيءٍ فِي هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ بِمِثْلِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ شَاءَ.

It was narrated that As-Sunabihi said: "I entered upon 'Ubadah bin As-Samit while he was dying, and I wept. He said: 'Take it easy, why are you weeping? By Allah, if I am asked to bear witness, I will bear witness for you, and if I am asked to intercede I will intercede for you, and if I can, I will help you.' Then he said: 'By Allah, there is no Hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) in which there is anything good for you but I narrated it to you, except for one Hadith, which I will tell you today, since I am about to die. I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: Whoever bears witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Allah will forbid him to the Fire.'"

It was narrated that Mu'adh bin Jabal said: "I was riding behind the Prophet (s.a.w), and there was nothing between him and I but the back of the saddle. He said: 'O Mu'adh bin Jabal!' I said: 'Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah.' Then he traveled along for a while, then he said: 'O Mu'adh bin Jabal!' I said: 'Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah.' Then he traveled along for a while, then he said: '0 Mu'Mh bin Jabal!' I said: 'Here I am at your service, 0 Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Do you know what is the right of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, over (His) slaves?' I said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'The right of Allah over (His) slaves is that they should worship Him and not associate anything with Him.' Then he traveled on for a while, then he said: 'O Mu'adh bin Jabal!' I said: 'Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Do you know what is the right of (His) slaves over Allah if they do that?' I said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'That He should not punish them."'

حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ إِلَّا مُؤْخِرَةُ الرَّحْلِ فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَارَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ.

It was narrated that Mu'adh bin Jabal said: "I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) on a donkey called 'Ufair, and he said: 'O Mu'adh, do you know what is the right of Allah over (His) slaves and the right of (His) slaves over Allah?' I said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'The right of Allah over (His) slaves is that they should worship Allah and not associate anything with Him, and the right of (His) slaves over Allah [the Mighty and Sublime,] is that He should not punish the one who does not associate anything with Him.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, should I not tell the people of this good news?' He said: 'Do not tell them, lest they (complacently) rely on it.'"

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ سَلَّامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ عُفَيْرٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ! أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ وَمَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَحَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَ مَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ [شَيْئًا] قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ لَا تُبَشِّرْهُمْ فَيَتَّكِلُوا.

It was narrated from Abu Hasin and Al-Ash'ath bin Sulaim that they heard Al-Aswad bin Hilal narrating that Mu'adh said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'O Mu'adh, do you know what is the right of Allah over (His) slaves?' He said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'That Allah should be worshiped and nothing should be associated with Him.' He said: 'Do you know what their right is over Him, if they do that?' He said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'That He should not punish them."'
