I said: Messenger of Allah, the son of Jud'an established ties of relationship, fed the poor. Would that be of any avail to him? He said: It would be of no avail to him as he did not ever say: O my Lord, pardon my sins on the Day of Resurrection.
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنُ جُدْعَانَ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَيُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ فَهَلْ ذَاكَ نَافِعُهُ قَالَ لاَ يَنْفَعُهُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ يَوْمًا رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, Ibn Jud'an used to uphold the ties of kinship and feed the poor during the pre-Islamic period. Is that beneficial for him?" He replied, "No, O Aisha, as he never said, 'My Lord, forgive me my sins on the Day of Judgment.'"
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْنُ جُدْعَانَ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَيُطْعِمُ الْمَسَاكِينَ فَهَلْ ذَاكَ نَافِعُهُ؟ قَالَ لَا يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ يَوْمًا رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَالدِّينِ
[Machine] I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "Verily, Ibn Jud'an in the pre-Islamic era used to honor the guest, maintain good relations with neighbors, and uphold family ties. Does this benefit him?" He ﷺ said, "No, for he never uttered the words: 'O Allah, forgive me my sins on the Day of Judgement."
قُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ ابْنَ جُدْعَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانَ يَقْرِي الضَّيْفَ وَيُحْسِنُ الْجِوَارَ وَيَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ فَهَلْ يَنْفَعُهُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «لَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ يَوْمًا قَطُّ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ»
[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , she asked him about his saying, "On the day when the earth will be changed to a different earth and the heavens, and they will appear before Allah, the One, the Prevailing." So she asked, "Where will the people be on that day?" He replied, "On the Sirat (bridge)." She said, "I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, Ibn Jud'an used to uphold family ties and feed the poor during the time of ignorance (before Islam). Will that benefit him?' He said, 'It will not benefit him if he did not say on any day, "My Lord, forgive me for my sins on the Day of Judgment."'
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ {يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَوَاتُ وَبَرَزُوا لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ} فَأَيْنَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ فقَالَ «عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ» قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنُ جُدْعَانَ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَيُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ فَهَلْ ذَاكَ نَافِعُهُ؟ قَالَ «لَا يَنْفَعُهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ يَوْمًا رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ»
