[Machine] I came to Abu Dharr and asked him, "What is your wealth?" He replied, "My work." I said to him, "Tell me." He said, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There are no two Muslim parents whose three children die before reaching puberty, except that Allah will forgive them.' I said to him, 'Tell me more.' He said, 'Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No Muslim spends from his wealth for the sake of Allah, except that the curtains of Paradise will be opened for him. Every one of them will invite him to what he has.' I said, 'How is that?' He said, 'If it is men, then it is two men. If it is camels, then it is two camels. If it is cows, then it is two cows.'"  

أَتَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ مَا مَالُكَ ؟ قَالَ لِي عَمَلِي قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ أَوْلَادِهِمَا لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُمَا قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي قَالَ نَعَمْقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُنْفِقُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَالٍ لَهُ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ كُلُّهُمْ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى مَا عِنْدَهُ قُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَتْ رِجَالًا فَرَجُلَيْنِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ إِبِلًا فَبَعِيرَيْنِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَقَرًا فَبَقَرَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] I reached the village and found myself with Abu Dhar, who had met me with the provisions he had collected and distributed. He had tied a camel with a rope around its neck so that it could drink and provide water for its companions. He had a noble character, one of the noble qualities of the Arabs. I said to him, "What is wrong with you, Abu Dhar?" He replied, "It is my job." I said, "Yes, Abu Dhar, but haven't you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say?" He said, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever spends on two wives from his wealth, the gates of Jannah will be open for him.'" We asked, "Who are these two wives?" He said, "If they are men, then they are two men. If they are horses, then they are two horses. If they are camels, then they are two camels. Until all categories of wealth are counted." I said, "O Abu Dhar, have you not heard anything else from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'There are no two Muslims who lose three children before they reach the age of puberty, except that Allah will admit them to Jannah by His mercy for those children.'"  

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِأَبِي ذَرٍّ قَدْ تَلَقَّانِي بِرَوَاحِلَ قَدْ أَوْرَدَهَا ثُمَّ أَصْدَرَهَا وَقَدْ أَعْلَقَ قِرْبَةً فِي عُنُقِ بَعِيرٍ مِنْهَا لِيَشْرَبَ وَيَسْقِيَ أَصْحَابَهُ وَكَانَ خُلُقًا مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الْعَرَبِ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا لَكَ؟ قَالَ لِي عَمَلِي قُلْتُ إِيهٍ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ مَالِهِ ابْتَدَرَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْنَا مَا هَذَانِ الزَّوْجَانِ؟ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَتْ رِجَالًا فَرَجُلَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ خَيْلًا فَفَرَسَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ إِبِلًافَبَعِيرَانِ حَتَّى عَدَّ أَصْنَافَ الْمَالِ كُلِّهِقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِيهِ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ لِلصِّبْيَةِ  

[Machine] I arrived at the camp and met Abu Dhar. I said, "O Abu Dhar, what is your wealth?" He said, "My wealth is my actions." I said, "O Abu Dhar, won't you tell me a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No Muslim couple has three children who do not reach the age of puberty, but Allah will admit them to Paradise by His mercy.'" And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No man spends on his two wives in the cause of Allah, but the two gates of Paradise will be opened for him.'" I asked, "And what are the two wives from his wealth?" He said, "Two servants from his slaves, two horsemen from his horses, and two camels from his camels."  

قَدِمْتُ الرَّبَذَةَ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا مَالُكَ؟ قَالَ مَالِي عَمَلِي قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَلَا تُحَدِّثُنِي حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ بَلَى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمَا اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ» وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ مَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا ابْتَدَرَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ» قُلْتُ وَمَا زَوْجَانِ مِنْ مَالِهِ؟ قَالَ عَبْدَانِ مِنْ رَقِيقِهِ فَرْسَانِ مِنْ خَيْلِهِ بَعِيرَانِ مِنْ إِبِلِهِ  

[Machine] I met Abu Dhar wearing a cloak, and he had attached a pouch to it. He poured water into it, then he released it so that his camel could drink from it and give water to its companions. This is a characteristic of the Arabs' noble conduct. So I said, "O Abu Dhar, what is your situation?" He replied, "I have my own wealth." I asked, "O Abu Dhar, what have you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever spends on two, his two sides will obstruct him from entering Paradise.'" I asked, "O Abu Dhar, what are these two sides?" He said, "If they are men, then it is two men, and if they are horses, then it is two horses, and if they are camels, then it is two camels." He counted all categories of wealth until he had mentioned all types. I said, "Yes, O Abu Dhar." He said, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'No two Muslims die, having three children, except that Allah admits them to Paradise through His mercy.'"  

لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَقَدْ أَوْرَدَ رَوَاحِلَ لَهُ فَسَقَاهَا ثُمَّ أَصْدَرَهَا وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ قِرْبَةً فِي عُنُقِ رَاحِلَةٍ لَهُ مِنْهَا لِيَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا وَيَسْقِي أَصْحَابَهُ وَذَلِكَ خُلُقٌ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الْعَرَبِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا مَالُكَ؟ قَالَ مَالِي عَمَلِي قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ مَالِهِ ابْتَدَرَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ» قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا هَذَانِ الزَّوْجَانِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ رِجَالًا فَرَجُلَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ خَيْلًا فَفَرَسَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ إِبِلًا فَبَعِيرَانِ حَتَّى عَدَّ أَصْنَافَ الْمَالِ كُلَّهُ قُلْتُ إِيهٍ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَوْلَادٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمَا اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ»
