ahmad:15010ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Mahdī > Zuhayr > ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. ʿAqīl > Jābir

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "What do you think if I strive in the way of Allah with my own self and wealth until I am killed, being patient and seeking reward, not turning away? Will I enter Paradise?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, but only if you leave no debt unpaid."  

أحمد:١٥٠١٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جَاهَدْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بِنَفْسِي وَمَالِي حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَمُدْبِرٍ أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَدَعَ دَيْنًا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ وَفَاءٌ لَهُ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جَاهَدْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بِنَفْسِي وَمَالِي حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ دَيْنٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَكَ وَفَاءٌ
