ذِكْرُ كِتْبَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْجَنَّةَ، وَإِيجَابِهَا لِمَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ ثُمَّ سَدَّدَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ
[Machine] "We left with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Makkah, and some people started asking for permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He began giving them permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked, 'Why is it that the branch of the tree that follows the Messenger of Allah is more hateful to you than any other branch?' We did not see anyone from the people except crying. Abu Bakr said, 'The one who seeks permission from you after this will surely be foolish in my eyes.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised and thanked Allah. He would say, 'By the One in whose hand my soul is, I bear witness before Allah, whoever among you believes in Allah and follows the straight path, he will be admitted to Paradise.' Indeed, my Lord has promised me that He will admit 70 thousand from my Ummah into Paradise without reckoning or punishment. And I hope that none will enter it until you and your righteous spouses and children settle in it.' Then he said, 'When one-third of the night or two-thirds of it have passed, Allah, blessed and exalted is He, descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone who asks Me that I may give him? Is there anyone who seeks My forgiveness that I may forgive him? Is there anyone who invokes Me that I may answer him until dawn breaks?'"
صَدَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَجَعَلَ نَاسٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا بَالُ شِقِّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ؟ » قَالَ فَلَمْ نَرَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكِيًا قَالَ يَقُولُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ بَعْدَ هَذَا لَسَفِيهٌ فِي نَفْسِي فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا حَلَفَ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إِلَّا سُلِكَ بِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَقَدْ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَتَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذَرَارِيِّكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا مَضَى شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ»
