Volume 8, Book 78, Number 633:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
I reached him (the Prophet ) while in the shade of the Ka’ba; he was saying, “They are the losers, by
the Lord of the Ka’ba! They are the losers, by the Lord of the Ka’ba!” I said (to myself ), “What is
wrong with me? Is anything improper detected in me? What is wrong with me? Then I sat beside
him and he kept on saying his statement. I could not remain quiet, and Allah knows in what sorrow –
ful state I was at that time. So I said, ‘ Who are they (the losers)? Let My father and mother be sacri –
ficed for you, O Allah’s Apostle!” He said, “They are the wealthy people, except the one who does like
this and like this and like this (i.e., spends of his wealth in Allah’s Cause).”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 450:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
Once I went out at night and found Allah’s Apostle walking all alone accompanied by nobody, and
I thought that perhaps he disliked that someone should accompany him. So I walked in the shade,
away from the moonlight, but the Prophet looked behind and saw me and said, “Who is that?” I
replied, “Abu Dhar, let Allah get me sacrificed for you!” He said, “O Abu Dhar, come here!” So I ac –
companied him for a while and then he said, “The rich are in fact the poor (little rewarded) on the
Day of Resurrection except him whom Allah gives wealth which he gives (in charity) to his right,
left, front and back, and does good deeds with it. I walked with him a little longer. Then he said to
me, “Sit down here.” So he made me sit in an open space surrounded by rocks, and said to me, “Sit
here till I come back to you.” He went towards Al-Harra till I could not see him, and he stayed away
for a long period, and then I heard him saying, while he was coming, “Even if he had committed
theft, and even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse?” When he came, I could not remain
patient and asked him, “O Allah’s Prophet! Let Allah get me sacrificed for you! Whom were you
speaking to by the side of Al-Harra? I did not hear anybody responding to your talk.” He said, “It was
Gabriel who appeared to me beside Al-Harra and said, ‘Give the good news to your followers that
whoever dies without having worshipped anything besides Allah, will enter Paradise.’ I said, ‘O Gab –
riel! Even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said,
‘Even if he has committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Even if
he has committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ “
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 451:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
While I was walking with the Prophet in the Harra of Medina, Uhud came in sight. The Prophet
said, “O Abu Dhar!” I said, “Labbaik, O Allah’s Apostle!” He said, “I would not like to have gold equal

to this mountain of Uhud, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar of it remains with me for
more than three days, except something which I will keep for repaying debts. I would have spent all
of it (distributed it) amongst Allah’s Slaves like this, and like this, and like this.” The Prophet pointed
out with his hand towards his right, his left and his back (while illustrating it). He proceeded with
his walk and said, “The rich are in fact the poor (little rewarded) on the Day of Resurrection except
those who spend their wealth like this, and like this, and like this, to their right, left and back, but
such people are few in number.” Then he said to me, “Stay at your place and do not leave it till I come
back.” Then he proceeded in the darkness of the night till he went out of sight, and then I heard a
loud voice, and was afraid that something might have happened to the Prophet .1 intended to go to
him, but I remembered what he had said to me, i.e. ‘Don’t leave your place till I come back to you,’ so
I remained at my place till he came back to me. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I heard a voice and I was
afraid.” So I mentioned the whole story to him. He said, “Did you hear it?” I replied, “Yes.” He said, “It
was Gabriel who came to me and said, ‘Whoever died without joining others in worship with Allah,
will enter Paradise.’ I asked (Gabriel), ‘Even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual in –
tercourse? Gabriel said, ‘Yes, even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse.”

Narrated Abu Dhar:
While I was walking with the Prophet at the Hurra of Medina in the evening, the mountain of
Uhud appeared before us. The Prophet said, “O Abu Dhar! I would not like to have gold equal to
Uhud (mountain) for me, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar remains of it with me, for
more than one day or three days, except that single Dinar which I will keep for repaying debts. I will
spend all of it (the whole amount) among Allah’s slaves like this and like this and like this.” The
Prophet pointed out with his hand to illustrate it and then said, “O Abu Dhar!” I replied, “Labbaik wa
Sa’daik, O Allah’s Apostle!” He said, “Those who have much wealth (in this world) will be the least re –
warded (in the Hereafter) except those who do like this and like this (i.e., spend their money in char –
ity).” Then he ordered me, “Remain at your place and do not leave it, O Abu Dhar, till I come back.”
He went away till he disappeared from me. Then I heard a voice and feared that something might
have happened to Allah’s Apostle, and I intended to go (to find out) but I remembered the statement
of Allah’s Apostle that I should not leave, my place, so I kept on waiting (and after a while the Proph –
et came), and I said to him, “O Allah’s Apostle, I heard a voice and I was afraid that something might
have happened to you, but then I remembered your statement and stayed (there). The Prophet said,
“That was Gabriel who came to me and informed me that whoever among my followers died without
joining others in worship with Allah, would enter Paradise.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Even if he had
committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?” He said, “Even if he had committed illegal sexual in –
tercourse and theft ‘
