ذِكْرُ الِاسْتِدْلَالِ عَلَى مَعْرِفَةِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ بِثَنَاءِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ وَالدِّينِ وَالْعَقْلِ عَلَيْهِمْ
[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying in his sermon from an elevated place in Ta'if, "You will soon come to know the people of Paradise from the people of Hell, or (you will come to know) the best amongst you and the worst amongst you." I only know that he said, "The people of Paradise are from the people of Hell." A man from the Muslims asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how is that possible?" He said, "By good reputation and bad reputation. You are witnesses to one another."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ بِالنَّبَاءَةِ أَوِ النَّبَاوَةِ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ «تُوشِكُونَ أَنْ تَعَلَمُوا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ أَوْ خِيَارَكُمْ مِنْ شِرَارِكُمْ» وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ «أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «بِالثَّنَاءِ الْحَسَنِ وَالثَّنَاءِ السَّيِّئَ أَنْتُمْ شُهَدَاءُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ»
