Sahih Muslim Hadith 2304 – Encouragement To

English

[23041 32 – (94) It was narrated that Abü Dharr said: "I was walking with the Prophet in the Harrah of Al-Madinah one afternoon, and we were looking at U'zud (mountain). The Messenger of Allah said to me: '0 Abü Dharr!' I said: 'Here I am at your service, 0 Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'I would not like to have this Uhud of gold and a third night comes and I have a DInâr left of it, except a DInâr that I put aside for debt, without giving it to the slaves of Allah like this – and he gestured in front of him – and like this – to his right – and like this – to his left.' Then we walked on and he said: '0 Abü Dharr!' I said: 'Here I am at your service, 0 Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Those who have the most will have the least on the Day of Resurrection, except those who do like this and like this and like this' – (and he gestured) as he had done the first time. Then we walked on, and he said: '0 Abü Dharr, stay where you are until I come to you.' He set off until he disappeared from me, and I heard a voice and a sound. I said: 'Perhaps something has happened to the Messenger of Allah ,,' and I thought of following him, then I remembered what he had said: 'Do not leave until I come to you.' So I waited for him, and when he came back I told him what I had heard. He said: 'That was JibrIl – peace be upon him – who came to me and said: Whoever among your Ummah dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise. I said: Even if he commits Zinâ and steals? He said: Even if he commits Zinâ and steals."
