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."  

أَبُو ذَرٍّ كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَرَّةِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَنَا أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ عِنْدِي مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ هَذَا ذَهَبًا تَمْضِي عَلَىَّ ثَالِثَةٌ وَعِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ إِلاَّ شَيْئًا أُرْصِدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ أَقُولَ بِهِ فِي عِبَادِ اللَّهِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ ثُمَّ مَشَى فَقَالَ إِنَّ الأَكْثَرِينَ هُمُ الأَقَلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلاَّ مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي مَكَانَكَ لاَ تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ فِي سَوَادِ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى تَوَارَى فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا قَدِ ارْتَفَعَ فَتَخَوَّفْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ عَرَضَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ آتِيَهُ فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَهُ لِي لاَ تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ فَلَمْ أَبْرَحْ حَتَّى أَتَانِي قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا تَخَوَّفْتُ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ وَهَلْ سَمِعْتَهُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Dharr say while wearing a woolen cloak, "I accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the outskirts of Madinah. We met a man and he said, 'O Abu Dharr, it pleases me that no one has a dinar (currency) in his possession in the evening except that he spends it in repayment of a debt.' Then he (the man) walked away and I walked with him. He said, 'O Abu Dharr,' and I replied, 'At your service, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Verily, the majority of the people who are considered the fewest on the Day of Judgment.' Then he said, 'O Abu Dharr, do not leave until I come to you.' Then he went away until he disappeared from sight. I heard a voice and I said, 'Keep going,' but then I remembered your statement, so I waited until he came back. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I heard a voice and I intended to catch up with you.' He said, 'That was Jibril who came to me and informed me that whoever from my Ummah dies without associating any partners with Allah will enter Jannah (Paradise).' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, even if he commits adultery or theft?' He said, 'Even if he commits adultery or theft.'"  

لَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحَرَّةِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَنَا أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ أُحُدًا لِي ذَهَبًا أُمْسِي وَعِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ إِلَّا أَصْرِفُهُ لِدَيْنٍ» ثُمَّ مَشَى وَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْأَكْثَرِينَ هُمُ الْأَقَلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَا تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ» ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ حَتَّى تَوَارَى فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا فَقُلْتُ أَنْطَلِقُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لِي فَلَبِثْتُ حَتَّى جَاءَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُدْرِكَكَ* فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَكَ لِي فَقَالَ «ذَلِكَ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» قُلْتُ 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.'"  

لَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحَرَّةِ الْمَدِينَةِ مُمْسِيًا فَاسْتَقْبَلَنَا أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي أُحُدًا ذَهَبًا أُمْسِي ثَالِثَةً وَعِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ إِلَّا دِينَارٌ أَرْصُدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ إِلَّا أَنْ أَقُولَ بِهِ فِي عِبَادِ اللَّهِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا» يَعْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّ الْمُكْثِرِينَ هُمُ الْأَقَلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي «لَا تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ» فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فِي سَوَادِ اللَّيْلِ فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ضِرَارَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَنْطَلِقَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَهُ فَجَلَسْتُ حَتَّى جَاءَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ آتِيَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَكَ لِي وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا قَالَ «ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ جَاءَنِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» فَقُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ فَقَالَ «وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ» قَالَ جَرِيرٌ قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
