"بَينمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي فِي طَريق أَبْصَرَ غُصنًا مِن شَوكٍ فَقَال: لأرفَعَنَّ هَذا الغصْنَ لَعَل اللهَ يَرْحَمُنِى فَغَفر اللهُ لهُ وَأَدْخَلَهُ الجَنَّةَ".

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "While a man was walking on a path, he found a thorny branch. He said, 'I will lift it so that Allah may forgive me through it.' So he lifted it, and Allah forgave him through it and admitted him into paradise."  

أحمد:١٠٢٨٩ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي عَلَى طَرِيقٍ وَجَدَ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ فَقَالَ لَأَرْفَعَنَّ هَذَا لَعَلَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَغْفِرُ لِي بِهِ فَرَفَعَهُ فَغَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهِ وَأَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ
