ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ نَفْيِ دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ عَنْ قَاتِلِ الْمُسْلِمِ الْمُعَاهَدِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "Whoever kills a person who has a treaty with the Muslims without right, Allah has made Paradise forbidden for him. He will not smell its fragrance." Abu Hatim said, "The meaning of all these reports is that the person who intends to enter Paradise without the intention of the highest and loftiest levels of Paradise is the one whom Allah has forbidden from entering Paradise. Or, it means that the one who possesses or commits any of these qualities, Allah has forbidden Paradise for him. The one who does not commit these qualities is the one who will enter the loftier Paradise. This is because the levels in Paradise are attained by a person's obedience to Allah and his descent from them is due to the sins he has committed."  

ابن حبّان:٤٨٨٢أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ ثُرْمُلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا مُعَاهَدَةً بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ أَنْ يَشُمَّ رِيحَهَا» قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ «هَذِهِ الْأَخْبَارُ كُلُّهَا مَعْنَاهَا لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ يُرِيدُ جَنَّةً دُونَ جَنَّةِ الْقَصْدِ مِنْهُ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِي هِيَ أَعْلَى وَأَرْفَعُ يُرِيدُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالَ أَوِ ارْتَكَبَ شَيْئًا مِنْهَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ الَّتِي هِيَ أَرْفَعُ الَّتِي يَدْخُلُهَا مَنْ لَمْ يَرْتَكِبْ تِلْكَ الْخِصَالَ لِأَنَّ الدَّرَجَاتِ فِي الْجِنَانِ يَنَالُهَا الْمَرْءُ بِالطَّاعَاتِ وَحَطُّهُ عَنْهَا يَكُونُ بِالْمَعَاصِي الَّتِي ارْتَكَبَهَا»
