Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet said (to us), ” List the names of those people who have announced that they are
Muslims.” So, we listed one thousand and five hundred men. Then we wondered, “Should we be

nessed ourselves being afflicted with such bad trials that one would have to offer the prayer alone in
fear.

whom you described as being from the people of the (Hell) Fire fought violently today and died.” The
Prophet said, “He will go to the (Hell) Fire.” Some people were on the point of doubting (the truth of
what the Prophet had said) while they were in this state, suddenly someone said that he was still
alive but severely wounded. When night fell, he lost patience and committed suicide. The Prophet
was informed of that, and he said, “Allah is Greater! I testify that I am Allah’s Slave and His Apostle.”
Then he ordered Bilal to announce amongst the people: ‘None will enter Paradise but a Muslim, and
Allah may support this religion (i.e. Islam) even with a disobedient man.’

Allah, the Revealer of the Holy Book, and the Mover of the clouds and the Defeater of the clans, de –
feat them, and grant us victory over them.”
