While I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ at the Hurra of Medina in the evening, the mountain of Uhud appeared before us. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abu Dhar! I would not like to have gold equal to Uhud (mountain) for me, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar remains of it with me, for more than one day or three days, except that single Dinar which I will keep for repaying debts. I will spend all of it (the whole amount) among Allah's slaves like this and like this and like this." The Prophet ﷺ pointed out with his hand to illustrate it and then said, "O Abu Dhar!" I replied, "Labbaik wa Saʿdaik, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He said, "Those who have much wealth (in this world) will be the least rewarded (in the Hereafter) except those who do like this and like this (i.e., spend their money in charity)." Then he ordered me, "Remain at your place and do not leave it, O Abu Dhar, till I come back." He went away till he disappeared from me. Then I heard a voice and feared that something might have happened to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I intended to go (to find out) but I remembered the statement of Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I should not leave, my place, so I kept on waiting (and after a while the Prophet ﷺ came), and I said to him, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I heard a voice and I was afraid that something might have happened to you, but then I remembered your statement and stayed (there). The Prophet ﷺ said, "That was Gabriel who came to me and informed me that whoever among my followers died without joining others in worship with Allah, would enter Paradise." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?" He said, "Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft."  

كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَرَّةِ الْمَدِينَةِ عِشَاءً اسْتَقْبَلَنَا أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أُحُدًا لِي ذَهَبًا يَأْتِي عَلَىَّ لَيْلَةٌ أَوْ ثَلاَثٌ عِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ إِلاَّ أُرْصِدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ أَقُولَ بِهِ فِي عِبَادِ اللَّهِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَأَرَانَا بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الأَكْثَرُونَ هُمُ الأَقَلُّونَ إِلاَّ مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي مَكَانَكَ لاَ تَبْرَحْ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى غَابَ عَنِّي فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عُرِضَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَبْرَحْ فَمَكُثْتُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عُرِضَ لَكَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَكَ فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ  

While I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ in the Harra of Medina, Uhud came in sight. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abu Dhar!" I said, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He said, "I would not like to have gold equal to this mountain of Uhud, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar of it remains with me for more than three days, except something which I will keep for repaying debts. I would have spent all of it (distributed it) amongst Allah's Slaves like this, and like this, and like this." The Prophet ﷺ pointed out with his hand towards his right, his left and his back (while illustrating it). He proceeded with his walk and said, "The rich are in fact the poor (little rewarded) on the Day of Resurrection except those who spend their wealth like this, and like this, and like this, to their right, left and back, but such people are few in number." Then he said to me, "Stay at your place and do not leave it till I come back." Then he proceeded in the darkness of the night till he went out of sight, and then I heard a loud voice, and was afraid that something might have happened to the Prophet ﷺ .1 intended to go to him, but I remembered what he had said to me, i.e. 'Don't leave your place till I come back to you,' so I remained at my place till he came back to me. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I heard a voice and I was afraid." So I mentioned the whole story to him. He said, "Did you hear it?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "It was Gabriel who came to me and said, 'Whoever died without joining others in worship with Allah, will enter Paradise.' I asked (Gabriel), 'Even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse? Gabriel said, 'Yes, even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse."

I walked with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the stony ground of Medina in the afternoon and we were looking at Uhud. The Messenger of Allah (way peace by upon him) said: Abu Dharr! I said: Messenger of Allah, I am here at thy beck and call. He said: What I desire is that Uhud be gold with me and three nights should pass and there is left with me any dinar but one coin which I would keep to pay debt. (I love) to spend it among the servants of Allah like this and he pointed in front of him, and on his right side and on his left side. We then proceeded on and he said: Abu Dharr. I said: At thy beck and call, Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The rich would be poor on the Day of Resurrection, but he who spent like this and like this and like this, and he pointed as at the first time. We again went on when he said. Abu Dharr, stay where you are till I come back to you. He (the Holy Prophet) then moved on till he disappeared from my sight He (Abu Dharr) said: I heard a sound and I heard a noise. I said (to myself): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ might have met (mishap or an enemy). I wished to follow him but I remembered his command for not departing till he would come back. So I waited for him, and when he came I made a mention of what I heard. He said: it was Gabriel, who came to me and said:" He who dies among your Ummah without associating Anything with Allah would enter Paradise. I said: Even if he committed fornication or theft? He said: Even if he committed fornication or theft.  

كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَرَّةِ الْمَدِينَةِ عِشَاءً وَنَحْنُ نَنْظُرُ إِلَى أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أُحُدًا ذَاكَ عِنْدِي ذَهَبٌ أَمْسَى ثَالِثَةً عِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ إِلاَّ دِينَارًا أُرْصِدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ أَقُولَ بِهِ فِي عِبَادِ اللَّهِ هَكَذَا حَثَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهَكَذَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَهَكَذَا عَنْ شِمَالِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَشَيْنَا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّ الأَكْثَرِينَ هُمُ الأَقَلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلاَّ مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الأُولَى قَالَ ثُمَّ مَشَيْنَا قَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَمَا أَنْتَ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى تَوَارَى عَنِّي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ لَغَطًا وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَعَلَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عُرِضَ لَهُ قَالَ فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَتَّبِعَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَهُ لاَ تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ قَالَ فَانْتَظَرْتُهُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ قَالَ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ  

[Machine] "I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ in the outskirts of Medina at night, and we were looking at the stars. He said, 'O Abu Dharr!' I said, 'Labbayka Ya Rasulallah.' He said, 'I do not like for someone to have anything with me except for what they need for the night. I have one dinar with me, except for a dinar that I have set aside for debt. I would rather say to it, "This is for the slaves of Allah." He then gestured with his right hand, in front of him, and to his left. We then continued walking. He said, 'O Abu Dharr! The majority of people on the Day of Judgment will be the least among them, except for those who say such and such, gesturing with his right hand, in front of him, and to his left. We continued walking. He said, 'O Abu Dharr! Be as you are until I come to you.' Then he went away from me until he disappeared from my sight. I heard a commotion and a voice, so I said, 'Perhaps the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has encountered something.' I felt the urge to follow him, but then I remembered his words: 'Do not move from here until I come to you.' So I waited for him until he came back. I mentioned what I had heard, and he said, 'That was Jibril who came to me and said, "Whoever dies among your Ummah 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.'"

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ set off towards Baqi' al-Gharqad, and I followed him. He said, "O Abu Dharr!" I replied, "Here I am, at your service, and I am your sacrifice." He said, "The ones who have much in this world will have little on the Day of Judgment, except the ones who say, 'This is for the sake of Allah and this is for the sake of Allah,' with their right and left hands." He repeated this three times. Then, we came across Uhud, and he said, "O Abu Dharr, it pleases me that even if the family of Muhammad receive gold equivalent to the value of a dinar or less, it should be divided among them." I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." Then, we came across a valley, and the Prophet ﷺ settled there. I sat on its edge, thinking that he had a need, so I approached him slowly, and my assumption was wrong. I overheard a conversation, and he said, "That is Jibril informing me regarding my Ummah, that whoever among them testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, will enter Paradise." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what if he commits adultery and theft?" He replied, "Even if he commits adultery and theft."  

انْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَحْوَ بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ» فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ ثُمَّ سَعْدَيْكَ وَأَنَا فِدَاؤُكَ فَقَالَ «الْمُكْثِرُونَ هُمُ الْمُقِلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ بِالْمَالِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ» قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ عَرَضَ لَنَا أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّهُ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ذَهَبًا يُمْسِي مَعَهُمْ دِينَارٌ أَوْ مِثْقَالٌ» فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ عَرَضَ لَنَا وَادٍ فَاسْتَبْطَنَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَنَزَلَ فِيهِ وَجَلَسْتُ عَلَى شَفِيرِهِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ حَاجَةً فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيَّ وَسَاءَ ظَنِّي فَسَمِعْتُ مُنَاجَاةً فَقَالَ «ذَلِكَ جِبْرِيلُ يُخْبِرُنِي لِأُمَّتِي مَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ؟ قَالَ «وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ»  

[Machine] I heard Abu Dharr Al-Rabathi say, "I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the outskirts of Madinah in the evening when someone approached us. He said, 'O Abu Dharr, I would not like to have anyone before me tonight, as I have only a single dinar left, which I need to pay off my debts, except that I say certain things about it in the cause of Allah.' He pointed in front of him, behind him, to his right, and to his left, and then he said, 'O Abu Dharr, the majority will be the minority on the Day of Resurrection.' Then he said to me, 'Do not move from here until I come to you.' He left and went into the blackness of the night, and I heard a voice which made me fear that it might be the voice of the Shaytaan imitating the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I intended to leave, but then I remembered his words, so I sat down and waited until he came. I said to him, 'I wanted to come to you, O Messenger of Allah.' Then I mentioned what he had said to me, and I heard a voice saying, 'That was Jibreel (Gabriel) who came to me and informed me that whoever dies among my ummah without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.' I asked, 'Even if he committed adultery and theft?' He said, 'Even if he committed adultery and theft.' Jarir said, 'According to Al-A'mash, he narrated it from Abu Salih, who narrated it from Abu Ad-Darda, who narrated it from the Prophet ﷺ.'"
