When the Verse:-- 'Those who believe and mix not their belief with wrong." was revealed, the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said, "Who amongst us has not mixed his belief with wrong?" Then Allah revealed: "Join none in worship with Allah, Verily joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3428)   

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ} [الأنعام 82] قَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّنَا لَمْ يَلْبِسْ إِيمَانَهُ بِظُلْمٍ؟ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ} [لقمان 13] لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ  

When the Verse:--'Those who believe and did not confuse their belief with wrong (worshipping others besides Allah).' (6.82) was revealed, it was hard on the companions of the Prophet ﷺ and they said, "Who among us has not wronged (oppressed) himself?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The meaning of the Verse is not as you think, but it is as Luqman said to his son, 'O my son! Join not in worship others with Allah, Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed.'" (31.13) (Using translation from Bukhārī 6937)   

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ} [الأنعام 82] شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالُوا أَيُّنَا لَا يَظْلِمُ نَفْسَهُ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْسَ هُوَ كَمَا تَظُنُّونَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ {لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ} [لقمان 13] لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ  

from Ibn 'Abbas (regarding this Ayah): Those who avoid great sins and Al-Fawahish except Al-Lamam (minor sins) (53:32). He said: "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Your forgiveness, O Allah is so ample, and which of Your worshipers has not committed Al-Lamam (minor sins)!'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3284)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ إِنْ تَغْفِرْ تَغْفِرْ جَمَّا وَأِيُّ عَبْدٍ لَكَ لَا أَلَمَّا؟  

[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, if You forgive, then forgive a great number. And what can any servant of Yours do to harm You?" And the meaning of it is  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ إِنْ تَغْفِرْ تَغْفِرْ جَمَّا وَأِيُّ عَبْدٍ لَكَ لَا أَلَمَّا؟ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

from Ibn 'Abbas (regarding this Ayah): Those who avoid great sins and Al-Fawahish except Al-Lamam (minor sins) (53:32). He said: "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Your forgiveness, O Allah is so ample, and which of Your worshipers has not committed Al-Lamam (minor sins)!'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3284)   

تَسْمَعْ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ [البحر الرجز] إِنْ تَغْفِرِ اللهُمَّ تَغْفِرْ جَمَّا وَأِيُّ عَبْدٍ لَكَ لَا أَلَمَّا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has written upon the son of Adam his share of adultery which he will inevitably commit. The adultery of the eyes is looking, the adultery of the tongue is speaking, and the soul desires and wishes, and the private part confirms or denies it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ كَتَبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَزِنَا الْعَيْنَيْنِ النَّظَرُ وَزِنَا اللِّسَانِ النُّطْقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَتَمَنَّى وَتَشْتَهِي وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ  

[Machine] "Allah, ﷺ , said: Every servant has surely erred or been inclined towards a sin except Yahya bin Zakariya, for he did not commit any mistakes nor was he inclined towards any sin. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, who narrated from Abu Bakr Ahmad bin Ishaq, who narrated from Muhammad bin Ghaleb, who narrated from Affan and Abu Salama, who said they were informed by Hammad bin Salama, who heard from Habib bin Ash-Shahid and Yunus bin Ubaid and Humaid, who narrated from Al-Hasan, who narrated from the Prophet, ﷺ , and Ali bin Zaid, who narrated from Yusuf bin Mihran, who narrated from Ibn Abbas, who narrated from the Prophet, ﷺ , who said: There is no human being, if his matter is mentioned, except that Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If the majority in a man's affair is obedience and nobility, then his testimony is accepted. But if the majority in his affair is disobedience and contradicts nobility, then his testimony is rejected. The Sheikh said: The explanation of this is what was informed to us by Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz. He said: I heard Abu Al-Walid al-Faqih say: I heard Abu Al-Abbas bin Suraij saying: He was asked about the description of justice, so he said: It is to be a free Muslim, of age, sane, not committing major sins nor insisting on committing minor ones, and not neglecting the common sense of nobility. The Sheikh said: As for the evidence in the conditions of Islam, freedom, adulthood, and sanity, that has already passed."  

اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَخْطَأَ أَوْ هَمَّ بِخَطِيئَةٍ لَيْسَ يَحْيَى بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ وَلَمْ يَهِمَّ بِخَطِيئَةٍ 20749 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ غَالِبٍ ثنا عَفَّانُ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ قَالَا ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ وَيُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَحُمَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ آدَمِيٍّ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ الْأَغْلَبَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الْأَظْهَرَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ الطَّاعَةُ وَالْمُرُوءَةُ قُبِلَتْ شَهَادَتُهُ وَإِذَا كَانَ الْأَغْلَبَ الْأَظْهَرَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ الْمَعْصِيَةُ وَخِلَافُ الْمُرُوءَةِ رُدَّتْ شَهَادَتُهُ 20750 قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَتَفْسِيرُ هَذَا فِيمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ الْفَقِيهَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ بْنَ سُرَيْجٍ يَقُولُ وَسُئِلَ عَنْ صِفَةِ الْعَدَالَةِ فَقَالَ يَكُونُ حُرًّا مُسْلِمًا بَالِغًا عَاقِلًا غَيْرَ مُرْتَكِبٍ لَكَبِيرَةٍ وَلَا مُصِرٍّ عَلَى صَغِيرَةٍ وَلَا يَكُونُ تَارِكًا لِلْمُرُوءَةِ فِي غَالِبِ الْعَادَةِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَمَا الْحُجَّةُ فِي شَرْطِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَالْحُرِّيَةُ وَالْبُلُوغُ وَالْعَقْلُ فَقَدْ مَضَتْ  

[Machine] Anas was asked about the major sins, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Associating partners with Allah, disobedience to parents, killing a soul, bearing false witness." He also said: "And speaking falsehood." They both reported this in Sahih (authentic) from the hadith of Shu'bah.  

عَنْ أَنَسٍ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْكَبَائِرِ فَقَالَ الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ أَوْ قَالَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ  

[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ in the Farewell Pilgrimage, and I heard him say, "Verily, the allies of Allah are those who pray, and whoever completes the obligatory prayers sincerely for Allah, pays the obligatory Zakat, fasts in Ramadan, and avoids major sins." A man then asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, what are the major sins?" He replied, "The major sins are nine, the greatest of which are associating partners with Allah, killing a believer, consuming usury, consuming the property of orphans, slandering chaste women, fleeing from the battlefield, disobeying parents, practicing sorcery, and making permissible what Allah has forbidden, such as entering the Sacred House while in a state of major impurity. Whoever meets Allah without having committed any of these sins with him, he will enter Paradise, the gates of which are made of gold."  

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللهِ الْمُصَلُّونَ أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يُتِمُّ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ يَرَاهَا لِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا وَيُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَيَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَيَجْتَنِبُ الْكَبَائِرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الْكَبَائِرُ؟ قَالَ الْكَبَائِرُ تِسْعٌ أَعْظَمُهُنَّ إِشْرَاكٌ بِاللهِ وَقَتْلُ نَفْسِ مُؤْمِنٍ وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَةِ وَالْفِرَارُ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالسِّحْرُ وَاسْتِحْلَالُ الْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ مَنْ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ بَرِيءٌ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَ مَعِي فِي جَنَّةٍ مَصَارِيعُهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The adulterer does not commit adultery while he is a believer, the drinker of alcohol does not drink it while he is a believer, the thief does not steal while he is a believer, the robber does not loot [and] raise people's gaze towards him while he is a believer. This hadith is narrated by Abu Qil, who narrates from Ibn Shihab, who narrates from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib and Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman, who narrate from Abu Hurairah, who narrates from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, in a similar manner to the hadith of Abu Bakr, except for the looting.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي حِينَ يَزْنِي وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ حِينَ يَشْرَبُهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَسْرِقُ السَّارِقُ حِينَ يَسْرِقُهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَنْتَهِبُ نُهْبَةً يَرْفَعُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ فِيهَا أَبْصَارَهُمْ حِينَ يَنْتَهِبُهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَعَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ هَذَا إِلَّا النُّهْبَةَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue or his hands. And a Muhajir (an emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons) all what Allah has forbidden." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6484)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا نَهَى الله عَنْهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hands other Muslims are safe."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ  

[Machine] I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "There is no Muslim who attends a prescribed prayer and performs its ablution, bowing, and prostration well, except that it will be an expiation for what has passed of sins, as long as they were not major sins, and this applies for their entire lifetime."  

شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ تَحْضُرُهُ صَلَاةٌ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فَيُحْسِنُ وُضُوءَهَا وَرُكُوعَهَا وَسُجُودَهَا إِلَّا كَانَتْ لَهُ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا مَضَى مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِ كَبِيرَةً وَهَذَا الدَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The five daily prayers and Friday prayer to the next Friday are expiations for what is between them as long as major sins are avoided."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ مَا لَمْ يَغْشَ الْكَبَائِرَ  

Verily the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The five (daily) prayers and from one Friday prayer to the (next) Friday prayer, and from Ramadhan to Ramadhan are expiations for the (sins) committed in between (their intervals) provided one shuns the major sins. (Using translation from Muslim 233c)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ وَرَمَضَانُ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ مُكَفِّرَاتٌ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِذَا اجْتُنِبَتِ الْكَبَائِرُ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that he sat on the pulpit and said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, three times." Then he remained silent, and tears flowed from the eyes of all of us in sadness for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his right. Then he said, "There is no servant who performs the five prayers, fasts during Ramadan, and avoids the seven major sins, except that the gates of Paradise will be opened for him on the Day of Judgment, to the point that they will be clapping. Then he recited, 'If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins.' In these narrations and others that emphasize the severity of the major sins and the expiation of the minor sins, it confirms the statement of those who differentiate between them in the rejection of the testimony of the one who commits a major sin without committing a minor sin. And from the narrations that indicate that when the minor sins become numerous, they reach the level of the one who commits a major sin in rejecting his testimony and the like."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ فَأَكَبَّ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا يَبْكِي حَزِينًا لِيَمِينِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَأْتِي الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَيَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَيَجْتَنِبُ الْكَبَائِرَ السَّبْعَ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى إِنَّهَا لَتَصْفُقُ ثُمَّ تَلَا {إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ} [النساء 31] فَفِي هَذِهِ الْأَخْبَارِ وَمَا جَانَسَهَا مِنَ التَّغْلِيظِ فِي الْكَبَائِرِ وَالتَّكْفِيرِ عَنِ الصَّغَائِرِ مَا يُؤَكِّدُ قَوْلَ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِرَدِّ شَهَادَةِ مَنِ ارْتَكَبَ كَبِيرَةً دُونَ مَنِ ارْتَكَبَ صَغِيرَةً وَمِنَ الْأَخْبَارِ الَّتِي تَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الصَّغَائِرَ إِذَا كَثُرَتْ بَلَغَتْ بِصَاحِبِهَا مَبْلَغَ مُرْتَكِبِ الْكَبِيرَةِ فِي رَدِّ الشَّهَادَةِ وَغَيْرِهِ مَا  

[Machine] Indeed, you used to perform deeds that were more important in your eyes than hair, even though we used to consider them (i.e., such deeds) as destructive acts during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).  

إِنَّكُمْ لَتَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالًا هِيَ أَدَقُّ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّعْرِ إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَعُدُّ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهَا لَهِيَ الْمُوبِقَاتُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Beware of trivial sins, for they gather upon a person until they destroy him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave an example for them, like a group of people who came to a valley and each of them brought a stick or a twig until they collected a large pile. Then, they lit a fire and what they had thrown into it became fully cooked.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَمُحَقَّرَاتِ الْأَعْمَالِ إِنَّهُنَّ لَيُجْمَعْنَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يُهْلِكْنَهُ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ضَرَبَ لَهُنَّ مَثَلًا كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ نَزَلُوا بِأَرْضِ فَلَاةٍ فَحَضَرَ صَنِيعُ الْقَوْمِ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِالْعُودِ وَالرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِالْعُوَيْدِ حَتَّى جَمَعُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ سَوَادًا ثُمَّ أَجَّجُوا نَارًا فَأَنْضَجَتْ مَا قُذِفَ فِيهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, when a believer commits a sin, there is a black spot in his heart. If he repents, removes it, and seeks forgiveness, his heart is polished. But if he returns to sin, it increases until his heart is sealed with it. This is what Allah mentioned in His book, 'No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning' [Al-Mutaffifin 14]." The scholar mentioned that these narrations, along with those similar to them, serve as a warning and a reminder for those who persist in committing sins without seeking forgiveness and neglecting to repent from them.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا كَانَتْ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَإِنْ تَابَ وَنَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ صُقِلَ مِنْهَا قَلْبُهُ فَإِنْ عَادَ رَانَتْ حَتَّى يُغْلَقَ بِهَا قَلْبُهُ فَذَاكَ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ ﷻ فِي كِتَابِهِ {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين 14] قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَيُشْبِهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الْأَخْبَارُ وَمَا جَانَسَهَا فِي التَّغْلِيظِ وَالتَّشْدِيدِ فِيمَنْ أَصَرَّ عَلَى الذُّنُوبِ غَيْرَ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ مِنْهَا وَلَا مُحَدِّثٍ نَفْسَهُ بِتَرْكِهَا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "If a servant commits a sin and then says, 'O Lord, I have committed a sin, so forgive me,' his Lord says, 'My servant knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them, so I forgive him.' Then he remains for as long as Allah wills, and then commits another sin. It is possible that he may say, 'I have committed another sin.' He says, 'O Lord, I have committed another sin, so forgive me.' His Lord says, 'My servant knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them, so I forgive him.' Then he remains for as long as Allah wills, and then commits another sin. It is possible that he may say, 'I have committed another sin.' He says, 'O Lord, I have committed another sin, so forgive me.' His Lord says, 'My servant knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them, so I forgive him.' His Lord says, 'I have forgiven My servant, so let him do whatever he wishes.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ عَبْدًا أَصَابَ ذَنْبًا فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ إِنِّي أَذْنَبْتُ ذَنْبًا فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَقَالَ رَبُّهُ عَلِمَ عَبْدِي أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِهِ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أَصَابَ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ إِنِّي أَذْنَبْتُ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ فَاغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ رَبُّهُ عَلِمَ عَبْدِي أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِهِ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أَصَابَ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ إِنِّي أَذْنَبْتُ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَقَالَ رَبُّهُ عَلِمَ عَبْدِي أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَبُّهُ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي فَلْيَعْمَلْ مَا شَاءَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: He who asks pardon is not a confirmed sinner, even if he returns to his sin seventy times a day. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1514)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَصَرَّ مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ وَإِنْ عَادَ فِي الْيَوْمِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah extends His hand during the night so that the sinners of the day may repent, and He extends His hand during the day so that the sinners of the night may repent, until the sun rises from its setting."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ يَبْسُطُ يَدَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ لِيَتُوبَ مُسِيءُ النَّهَارِ وَبِالنَّهَارِ لِيَتُوبَ مُسِيءُ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His believing servant than a man who lost his camel in a barren land, and with it was his food and drink. He then lay down and slept, and when he woke up he found that his camel had disappeared. He searched for it until he became exhausted and thirsty. He said, 'By Allah, I will go back and die where I was before.' So he went back and slept. When he woke up, he found his camel beside him, along with his food and drink. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Verily, the believer sees his sins as if he were sitting at the foot of a mountain fearing that it may fall upon him, while the wicked person considers his sins like a fly that passes by his nose and says to it: Get away. Then he orders it by his hand to move away.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْآخَرُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ بِأَرْضِ فَلَاةٍ دَوِيَّةٍ وَمَهْلَكَةٍ وَمَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَيْهَا طَعَامُهُ وَشَرَابُهُ فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا فَنَامَ وَرَاحِلَتُهُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَتْ فَذَهَبَ فِي طَلَبِهَا فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهُ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَأَرْجِعَنَّ فَلَأَمُوتَنَّ حَيْثُ كَانَ رَحْلِي فَرَجَعَ فَنَامَ وَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَإِذَا رَاحِلَتُهُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ عَلَيْهَا طَعَامُهُ وَشَرَابُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَرَى ذُنُوبَهُ كَأَنَّهُ جَالِسٌ فِي أَصْلِ جَبَلٍ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ يَرَى ذُنُوبَهُ كَذُبَابٍ مَرَّ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ هَكَذَا فَذَهَبَ وَأَمَرَّ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ  

[Machine] I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ in the outskirts of the city at night when we came across a trench. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Abu Dharr, I do not want that this trench be made of gold and a night comes upon me possessing only a dinar that I am not free from debt except that I would say to it in the servants of Allah, 'This way and that way,' and he pointed with his hand. Then he said, 'O Abu Dharr, I said, 'Labbayka' (at your service) and 'Saddayk' (I obey and agree with you), O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Indeed, the majority of the people are those who have the least (in terms of faith and piety), except for those who say this way and that way and this way.' Then he said to me, 'Stay where you are, O Abu Dharr, until I return to you.' He then left until he was out of my sight, and I heard a sound, so I feared that it might be a danger for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I intended to go to him, but then I remembered his statement, 'Do not move from here,' so I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I heard a sound and I feared that it might be a danger for you.' Then I remembered your statement, so I stayed there.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'That was Jibril who came to me and informed me that whoever dies from my Ummah without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, even if he commits adultery or theft?' He said, 'Even if he commits adultery or theft.'"  

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَمْشِي فِي حَرَّةِ الْمَدِينَةِ عِشَاءً فَاسْتَقْبَلْنَا أُحُدًا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أُحُدًا ذَاكَ لِي ذَهَبًا تَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ لَيْلَةٌ وَعِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ إِلَّا دِينَارًا أَرْصُدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ إِلَّا أَنْ أَقُولَ بِهِ فِي عِبَادِ اللهِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ الْأَكْثَرِينَ هُمُ الْأَقَلُّونَ إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي مَكَانَكَ لَا تَبْرَحْ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ وَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى غَابَ عَنِّي فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا فَتَخَوَّفْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَرَضَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ آتِيَهُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَهُ لَا تَبْرَحْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَرَضَ لَكَ ذَاكَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَكَ فَأَقَمْتُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاكَ جِبْرَائِيلُ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنْ زَنَا وَإِنْ سَرَقَ؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَا وَإِنْ سَرَقَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, Jibril came to me and gave me glad tidings that whoever from my nation dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise." I said: "Even if he committed adultery or theft?" He said: "Even if he committed adultery or theft." Sulaiman, referring to Zaid ibn Wahb, said: "This hadith is only narrated from Abu Darda." He said: "As for me, I heard it from Abu Dhar."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَانِي فَبَشَّرَنِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَا وَإِنْ سَرَقَ؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَا وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي لِزَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ إِنَّمَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ  

[Machine] "I went out one night, and suddenly I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ walking alone. So I mentioned the saying (meaning a hadith) and said, 'O Prophet of Allah, may Allah make me your ransom, who were you talking to on the side of the rock?' I did not wait until he answered, but I said, 'O Gabriel!' No one returned to you anything. He said, 'That was Gabriel who came to me on the side of the rock and said, "Give glad tidings to your Ummah that whoever dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise."' I said, 'O Gabriel, even if he steals and commits adultery?' He said, 'Yes, even if he steals and commits adultery.' I said, 'Even if he steals and commits adultery?' He said, 'Even if he steals and commits adultery and drinks alcohol.'"  

خَرَجْتُ لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِي فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْشِي لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِنْسَانٌ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ لَمْ أَصْبِرْ حَتَّى قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ جَعَلَنِي اللهُ فِدَاءَكَ مَنْ كُنْتَ تُكَلِّمُ فِي جَانِبِ الْحَرَّةِ؟ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ أَحَدًا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ عَرَضَ لِي فِي جَانِبِ الْحَرَّةِ فَقَالَ بَشِّرْ أُمَّتَكَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ وَإِنْ سَرَقَ وَإِنْ زَنَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنْ سَرَقَ وَإِنْ زَنَا قُلْتُ وَإِنْ سَرَقَ وَزَنَا؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ سَرَقَ وَزَنَا وَشَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ  

I know the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it and the last of the inhabitants of Hell to come out of it. He is a man who would be brought on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said: Present his minor sins to him, and withhold from him his serious sins. Then the minor sins would be placed before him, and it would be said: On such and such a day you did so and so and on such and such a day you did so and so. He would say: Yes. It will not be possible for him to deny, while he would be afraid lest serious sins should be presented before him. It would be said to him: In place of every evil deed you will have a good deed. He will say: My Lord! I have done things I do not see here. I indeed saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were exposed. (Using translation from Muslim 190a)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا الْجَنَّةَ وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنْهَا رَجُلٌ يُؤْتَى بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقَالُ اعْرِضُوا عَلَيْهِ صِغَارَ ذُنُوبِهِ وَارْفَعُوا عَنْهُ كِبَارَهَا فَيُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ صِغَارُ ذُنُوبِهِ فَيُقَالُ عَمِلْتَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ وَعَمِلْتَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُنْكِرَ وَهُوَ مُشْفِقٌ مِنْ كِبَارِ ذُنُوبِهِ أَنْ تُعْرَضَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ فَإِنَّ لَكَ بِمَكَانِ كُلِّ سَيِّئَةٍ حَسَنَةً فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ قَدْ عَمِلْتُ أَشْيَاءَ لَا أَرَاهَا هَهُنَا فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ  

[Machine] For every prophet, there is a supplication that is answered. Every prophet hurries to make their supplication, but I have kept my supplication as intercession for my nation until the Day of Resurrection, and it will be granted, if Allah wills, to whoever from my nation dies without associating anything with Allah." Ka'b asked Abu Huraira, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah?" Abu Huraira said, "Yes."  

لِكَعْبِ الْأَحْبَارِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةً مُسْتَجَابَةً فَتَعَجَّلَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَتَهُ وَإِنِّي اخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ كَعْبٌ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَسَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ نَعَمْ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: My intercession will be for those of my people who have committed major sins. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4739)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ شَفَاعَتِي لِأَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, every prophet has a supplication that he has invoked for his nation, and I have hidden my supplication as an intercession for my nation on the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةً قَدْ دَعَا بِهَا فِي أُمَّتِهِ وَإِنِّي اخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with my own ears saying, "Indeed, Allah will bring out a people from the fire and will enter them into Paradise."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِأُذُنِيَّ هَاتَيْنِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ يُخْرِجُ قَوْمًا مِنَ النَّارِ فَيُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A people will come out of the Fire by intercession and they will be as if they are the Tha'arir." It was said, "And what are the Tha'arir?" He said, "They are the bright white marks." Hammad said, "And 'Amr's tooth fell out." Hammad said, "So I said to 'Amr, O Abu Muhammad, did you hear Ja'bir bin 'Abdullah say, I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, 'Indeed, Allah will bring out a people from the Fire by intercession?'" He said, "Yes."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ قَوْمٌ مِنَ النَّارِ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ كَأَنَّهُمُ الثَّعَارِيرُ قَالَ قِيلَ لِعَمْرٍو وَمَا الثَّعَارِيرُ؟ قَالَ الضَّغَابِيسُ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ وَكَانَ عَمْرٌو سَقَطَ فَمُهُ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَقُلْتُ لِعَمْرٍو يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُخْرِجُ قَوْمًا مِنَ النَّارِ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the people of Hell enter Hell, Allah (God) will say, "Whoever has an atom's weight of goodness in his heart, bring him out." So they will bring him out while they are scalded, and then they will go out like burnt embers. He said: Then they will be thrown into a river called the River of Life, and they will grow in it as a seed grows in the silt of a flood. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Did you not see that it grows yellow, twisted?"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ يَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ خَرْدَلَةٍ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ فَيَخْرُجُونَ قَدِ امْتُحِشُوا وَعَادُوا حُمَمًا قَالَ فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِي نَهَرٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَهَرُ الْحَيَاةِ قَالَ فَيَنْبُتُونَ فِيهِ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحَبَّةُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَمْ تَرَوْا أَنَّهَا تَنْبُتُ صَفْرَاءَ مُلْتَوِيَةً
