None amongst you would attain salvation purely because of his deeds. A person said: Messenger of Allah, even you? Thereupon he said: Yes, not even I except that Allah wraps me in Mercy, but you should act with moderation. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Bukair b. al-Ashajj with a slight variation of wording.

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَنْ يُنْجِيَ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ عَمَلُهُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ وَلاَ إِيَّاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلاَ إِيَّاىَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ وَلَكِنْ سَدِّدُوا وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّدَفِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْهُ وَفَضْلٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ وَلَكِنْ سَدِّدُوا

There is none whose deeds alone would entitle him to get into Paradise. It was said to him: And, Messenger of Allah, not even you? Thereupon he said: Not even I, but that my Lord wraps me in Mercy.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُدْخِلُهُ عَمَلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَقِيلَ وَلاَ أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلاَ أَنَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِي رَبِّي بِرَحْمَةٍ

There is none amongst you whose deeds alone would attain salvation for him. They (the Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, not even you? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Not even I, but that Allah wraps me in Mercy and He grants me pardon. Ibn 'Aun pointed towards his head with his hand saying: Not even I, but that Allah wraps me in His Forgiveness and Mercy.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يُنْجِيهِ عَمَلُهُ قَالُوا وَلاَ أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلاَ أَنَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَرَحْمَةٍ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَلاَ أَنَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَرَحْمَةٍ

There is none whose deeds alone can'secure salvation for him. They said: Messenger of Allah, not even you? Thereupon he said: Not even I, but that, the Mercy of Allah should take hold of me.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُنْجِيهِ عَمَلُهُ قَالُوا وَلاَ أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلاَ أَنَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَدَارَكَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ

None amongst you can get. into Paradise by virtue of his deeds alone. They said: Messenger of Allah, not even you? Thereupon he said: Not even I, but that Allah should wrap me in His Grace and Mercy.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَنْ يُدْخِلَ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ عَمَلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالُوا وَلاَ أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلاَ أَنَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِفَضْلٍ وَرَحْمَةٍ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Keep to the right course and do your best, and know that none of you will be saved by his deeds." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, not even you?" He said: "Not even I, unless Allah ﷻ covers me with mercy and favor from Him."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «قَارِبُوا وَسَدِّدُوا، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَنْجُوَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ بِعَمَلِهِ». قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَلاَ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: «وَلاَ أَنَا، إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْهُ وَفَضْلٍ».

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir through another chain of transmitters.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of A'mash through two other chains of transmitters. The wording is, however, the same.

عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ بِالإِسْنَادَيْنِ جَمِيعًا كَرِوَايَةِ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ

" Give them glad tidings".

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَ وَأَبْشِرُوا

I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying: None of you would get into Paradise because of his good deeds alone, and he would not be rescued from Fire, not even I, but because of the Mercy of Allah.

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يُدْخِلُ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ عَمَلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَلاَ يُجِيرُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَلاَ أَنَا إِلاَّ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Be upright and do your best to be close to what is right, and receive glad tidings, for no one’s deeds alone will admit him into Paradise.” They said, “Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Not even me, unless Allah envelops me in mercy from Him. And know that the most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are done consistently, even if they are few.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا، فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ أَحَدًا عَمَلُهُ۔» قَالُوا: وَلاَ أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «وَلاَ أَنَا، إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ۔ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَحَبَّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَدْوَمُهُ وَإِنْ قَلَّ۔»

"Be happy".

عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ وَأَبْشِرُوا
