"The Messenger of Allah addressed us one day and said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my sould' three times then he lowered his head, and each of us lowered his head, weeping, and we did not know what he had sworn that oath about. Then he raised his head with joy on his face, and that was dearer to us than red camels. Then he said: 'There is no one who offers the five (daily) prayers, fasts Ramadan, pays Zakah and avoid the seven major sins, but the gates of Paradise will be opened to him, and it will be said to him: Enter in peace."'  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَمِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ يَقُولاَنِ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَكَبَّ فَأَكَبَّ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا يَبْكِي لاَ نَدْرِي عَلَى مَاذَا حَلَفَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْبُشْرَى فَكَانَتْ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَيَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَيُخْرِجُ الزَّكَاةَ وَيَجْتَنِبُ الْكَبَائِرَ السَّبْعَ إِلاَّ فُتِّحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ ادْخُلْ بِسَلاَمٍ  

[Machine] He heard Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and Abu Hurairah reporting about 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. Then, every man among us shed tears of sadness to the right of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then he said, "There is no servant who performs the five daily prayers, fasts during Ramadan, and avoids the major sins except that the gates of Paradise will be opened for him on the Day of Judgment until it even claps. Then he recited, "If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise]." (Surah An-Nisa, 31)  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ وَأَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُخْبِرَانِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ فَأَكَبَّ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا يَبْكِي حَزِينًا لِيَمِينِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَأْتِي الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَيَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَيَجْتَنِبُ الْكَبَائِرَ السَّبْعَ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى أَنَّهَا لَتَصْطَفِقُ ثُمَّ تَلَا {إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتُكُمْ} [النساء 31] «»  

[Machine] He heard Abu Huraira and Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri narrating about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he sat on the pulpit and said, "By Him in whose hand is my soul..." three times, then he was silent. Then tears streamed down each of our faces out of sadness for the right side of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then he said, "There is no servant who performs the five daily prayers, fasts in Ramadan, and avoids the major sins, except that the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him on the Day of Resurrection. They will even applaud." Then he recited, "If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins..." (Quran 4:31)  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ يُخْبِرَانِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ فَأَكَبَّ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا يَبْكِي حُزْنًا لِيَمِينِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُؤَدِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَيَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَيَجْتَنِبُ الْكَبَائِرَ السَّبْعَ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى إِنَّهَا لَتَصْطَفِقُ» ثُمَّ تَلَا {إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ}  

[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
