[Machine] I entered the Grand Mosque in Basra and sat next to an old man with white hair and beard. He said to me, "Mu'adh bin Jabal told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Any soul that dies while testifying that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, Allah will forgive them.' " I asked him, "Did you hear this from Mu'adh bin Jabal?" The people became aggressive towards me, but he said, "Don't be aggressive towards him or blame him. Leave him alone. I heard this from Mu'adh bin Jabal, who heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." I asked the people, "Who is this?" They said, "Abdul Rahman bin Samurah."  

دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ الْجَامِعَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْخٍ أَبْيَضَ الرَّأْسِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تَمُوتُ وَهِيَ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ يَرْجِعُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى قَلْبٍ مُؤْمِنٍ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ» قُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ؟ فَكَأَنَّ الْقَوْمَ عَنَّفُوهُ فَقَالَ لَا تُعَنِّفُوهُ وَلَا تُؤَنِّبُوهُ وَدَعُوهُ أَنَا سَمِعْتُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ يَأْثُرُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْقَوْمِ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ went out with Mu'adh bin Jabal to the gate, and when he saw him, he said, "O Mu'adh!" Mu'adh replied, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet said, "Whoever dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise." Mu'adh asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should I not inform the people?" The Prophet said, "Leave them to compete in good deeds, for I fear that they may depend on them (the information) and not strive in worshipping Allah."  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ بِالْبَابِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ قَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ» قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أُخْبِرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ «دَعْهُمْ فَلْيَتَنَافَسُوا فِي الْأَعْمَالِ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَتَّكِلُوا عَلَيْهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise." Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I not give the people the glad tidings?" He said, "I fear that they may rely on it [i.e., on entering Paradise without doing good deeds]."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلَا أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ «أَخَافُ أَنْ يَتَّكِلُوا»  

[Machine] I heard him saying, "Verily, Mu'adh was a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he said to him, 'Give glad tidings to the people that whoever dies without associating partners with Allah will enter Paradise.'"  

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مُعَاذَ كَانَ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ «بَشِّرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of 'Attab bin Moulla Hurmuz, a man from the people of Wasit, who reported from Anas bin Malik that he said: "I gave allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with my hand upon this (hand) for hearing and obedience in what I am capable of. And I heard him narrating that Mu'adh bin Jabal was next to the Prophet ﷺ . So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Give glad tidings to the people that whoever dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.' Mu'adh said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shouldn't I tell the people about this?' He said: 'I fear that they will rely on it too much.'"  

عَنْ عَتَّابٍ مَوْلَى هُرْمُزَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ وَاسِطٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ كَانَ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «بَشِّرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ وَهُوَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلَا أُبَشِّرُ بِهِ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَتَّكِلُوا عَلَيْهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever bears witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah sincerely from their heart, will enter Paradise."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ مُخْلِصًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah ibn Muslimah al-Qa'nabi narrated that Salamah ibn Wardan narrated from Anas ibn Malik that he heard him say, "Mu'adh ibn Jabal came to me, so I asked him, 'Where did you come from, O Mu'adh?' He said, 'I came from the Prophet of Allah ﷺ.' So I asked him, 'What did he say to you?' He said, 'Whoever testifies that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, sincerely, will enter Paradise.' So I said, 'Should I go and ask the Prophet ﷺ?' Mu'adh said, 'Yes, go.' So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Prophet of Allah, Mu'adh ibn Jabal informed me that you said, 'Whoever testifies that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, sincerely, will enter Paradise.' He replied, 'Mu'adh has spoken the truth, Mu'adh has spoken the truth, Mu'adh has spoken the truth.'"  

ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثنا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ أَتَانِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فَقُلْتُ مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ يَا مُعَاذُ؟ قَالَ جِئْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ مَا قَالَ لَكَ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُخْلِصًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» فَقُلْتُ فَأَذْهَبُ فَأُسْأَلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُخْلِصًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» قَالَ «صَدَقَ مُعَاذٌ صَدَقَ مُعَاذٌ صَدَقَ مُعَاذٌ»  

[Machine] I was in a row behind the Prophet ﷺ and there was nothing between him and me except the saddles. He said to me, "O Mu'adh!" I said, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah, ready and obedient." He said, "Do you know what right Allah has over His servants?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "The right of Allah over His servants is that they should worship Him alone and not associate anything with Him." Then he rode for a while and said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal!" I said, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah, ready and obedient." He said, "Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do this?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "The right of the servants over Allah is that He will not punish them."  

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ إِلَّا مُؤَخِّرَاتُ الرَّحْلِ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا مُعَاذُ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا هُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Mu'adh!" I said, "Here I am at your service." He said, "Give glad tidings to the people that whoever says 'There is no god but Allah' will enter Paradise."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مُعَاذُ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ قَالَ بَشِّرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] I was sitting next to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal, do you know what rights Allah has over His slaves?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet ﷺ said, "To worship Him alone and not associate anything with Him." Then he said, "Do you know what rights they have over Him if they do that?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "That He will not punish them."  

كُنْتُ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «لَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»  

[Machine] I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was walking in front of me and he said, "Do you know the right of Allah over His servants?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "His right over them is that they should worship Him and not associate anything with Him." Then he said, "Do you know what their right over Him is if they do that? Their right over Him is that He will not punish them."  

سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَلْفَهُ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ «حَقُّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ مَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ؟ حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»
