Would I enter Paradise if I say the obligatory prayers and deny myself that which is forbidden and treat that as lawful what has been made permissible (by the Shari'ah)? The Prophet ﷺ replied in the affirmative.
أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ قَوْقَلٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلاَلَ أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَعَمْ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came to Nu'man bin Qawqal and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if I were to make lawful what is lawful and unlawful what is unlawful, and I were to perform the obligatory prayers, and Ibn Numayr said in his narration without increasing upon that, will I enter Paradise?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Yes."
أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ قَوْقَلٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ حَلَّلْتُ الْحَلَالَ وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ وَصَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَأَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ
[Machine] Naaman ibn Qawqal came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if I perform the obligatory prayers, fast in Ramadan, refrain from the prohibited, and make the permissible lawful, and I do not increase upon that anything, will I enter Paradise?" He said, "Yes." Naaman then said, "By Allah, I will not increase upon that anything."
أَنَّ نُعْمَانَ بْنَ قَوْقَلٍ جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلَالَ وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا أَفَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا
[Machine] He came the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if I observe the obligatory prayers, fast in Ramadan, make lawful what is halal, and forbid what is haram, and I do not add anything else to that, will I enter Paradise?" He said, "Yes." He said, "By Allah, I will not increase anything beyond that."
أَنَّهُ جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلَالَ وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا
Would I enter Paradise if I say the obligatory prayers and deny myself that which is forbidden and treat that as lawful what has been made permissible (by the Shari'ah)? The Prophet ﷺ replied in the affirmative. (Using translation from Muslim 15a)
أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ قَوْقَلٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلَالَ أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَعَمْ
