Sahih Muslim Hadith 2305 – Encouragement To

English

[2305] 33 – ( … ) It was narrated that Abü Dharr said: "I went out one night and saw the Messenger of Allah walking alone, and there was no one with him. I thought that he did not want anyone to walk with him, so I started walking in the shade, away from the moonlight, then he turned and saw me, and said: 'Who is this?' I said: 'Abü Dharr, may Allah cause me your ransom.' He said: '0 Abü Dharr, come here.' So I walked with him for a while, then he said: 'Those who have the most will have the least on the Day of Resurrection, except the one to whom Allah gives good things and he spends them right and left, in front of him and behind him, and does good with them.' I walked with him for a while, then he said: 'Sit here.' He sat me down in an open space, which was surrounded by rocks, and said to me: 'Sit here until I come back to you.' Then he set off in the Harrah until I could no longer see him, and he stayed away from me for a long time. Then I heard him as he was coming back, saying: 'Even if he steals or commits Zinâ.' When he came, I could not wait and I said: '0 Prophet of Allah, may Allah cause me to be your ransom! To whom were you speaking at the edge of the Harrah? I did not hear anyone responding to you.' He said: 'That was JibrIl – peace be upon him – who appeared to me at the edge of the Harrah and said: "Give your Ummah the glad tidings that whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise." I said: "0 JibrIl, even if he steals or commits Zinâ?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Even if he steals and commits Zinâ?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Even if he steals and commits Zinâ?" He said: Yes, and even if he drinks alcohol." Chapter 10. Stern Warning – ()* ç *4.fl) Concerning Those Who Hoard Wealth (r- iLkJI, J43
