[Machine] I heard Abu Ruham, a storyteller from the people of Sham, say that he heard Abu Ayoub Al-Ansari say that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , one day came to them and said, "Verily, your Lord has chosen me among seventy thousand people who will enter Paradise without being held accountable, and between the hidden knowledge with Him for my nation." Some of his companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah, will your Lord keep this a secret?" So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered and then came out while saying, "Indeed, my Lord has increased me by seventy thousand with each thousand, and the hidden knowledge is with Him." Abu Ruham said, "O Abu Ayoub, what do you think is the secret of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?" The people instantly whispered and said, "And what about you? Are you the secret of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?" Abu Ayoub replied, "Leave the man, and I will inform you about the secret of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , as I think. Actually, it is as certain as I am. The secret of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , is that he says, 'Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner or associate, and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger, confirming this with his tongue and heart, will enter Paradise.'"
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رُهْمٍ قَاصَّ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخَلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ عَفْوًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَبَيْنَ الْخَبِيئَةِ عِنْدَهُ لِأُمَّتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُخَبِّئُ ذَلِكَ رَبُّكَ ﷻ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَهُوَ يُكَبِّرُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَبِّي زَادَنِي مَعَ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا وَالْخَبِيئَةُ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ أَبُو رُهْمٍ يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ وَمَا تَظُنُّ خَبِيئَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَأَكَلَهُ النَّاسُ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ فَقَالُوا وَمَا أَنْتَ وَخَبِيئَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ دَعُوا الرَّجُلَ عَنْكُمْ أُخْبِرْكُمْ عَنْ خَبِيئَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَا أَظُنُّ بَلْ كَالْمُسْتَيْقِنِ إِنَّ خَبِيئَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَقُولَ رَبِّ مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مُصَدِّقًا لِسَانَهُ قَلْبُهُ أَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ
