The Mercy of Allah for His Slaves

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that those who die without associating anything with Allah in worship will enter Jannah, even if they have committed sins such as illicit sexual intercourse or stealing.

Abu Dharr (May allah be pleased with him) reported: I was walking with the Prophet on the stony ground in Al-Madinah in the afternoon when Uhud Mount came into sight. Messenger of Allah said, "O Abu Dharr!" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, here I am responding to you". He said, "If I had as much gold as the weight of Uhud, it would not please me to have a single dinar out of it with me after the passage of three days, but I would hold back something for the repayment of a debt. I would distribute it among the slaves of Allah like this and like this and like this". And he pointed in front of him, and on his right side and on his left side. We then walked a little further and he said: "The rich would be poor on the Day of Resurrection, except he who spent like this and like this and like this,". and he pointed as he did the first time".But such persons are few". Then he said, "Stay where you are till I come back to you". He (the Prophet ) walked ahead a little further in the darkness of the night and disappeared from my sight. I heard a loud voice. I said (to myself): "The Messenger of Allah might have met (mishap or an enemy)". I wished I could go after him but I remembered his commanding me to stay till he came back. So I waited for him; and when he came, I made mention of what I had heard. He asked, "Did you hear it?". I said, "Yes". Then he said, "It was Jibril (Gabriel), who came to me and said: 'He who dies among your Ummah without having associated anything with Allah (in worship) will enter Jannah'. I said: 'Even if he committed illicit sexual intercourse or steals?' He (Jibril) said: 'Even if he has committed illicit sexual intercourse or steals". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي ذر رضي الله عنه ، قال كنت أمشى مع النبي في حرة بالمدينة ، فاستقبلنا أحد فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏يا أبا ذر‏"‏ قلت‏:‏ لبيك يا رسول الله‏.‏ فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏ما يسرني أن عندي مثل أحد هذا ذهبا تمضى علي ثلاثة أيام وعندي منه دينار، إلا شئ أرصده لدين، إلا أن أقول له به في عباد الله هكذا، وهكذا وهكذا‏"‏ عن يمينه وعن شماله ومن خلفه، ثم سار فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏إن الأكثرين هم الأقلون يوم القيامة إلا من قال بالمال هكذا وهكذا وهكذا‏"‏ عن يمينه وعن شماله ومن خلفه‏"‏ وقليل ما هم‏"‏ ثم قال لى ‏"‏مكانك لا تبرح حتى آتيك‏"‏ ثم انطلق في سواد الليل حتى توارى، فسمعت صوتا قد ارتفع ، فتخوفت أن يكون أحد عرض للنبى، ، فأردت أن آتيه فذكرت قوله‏:‏ ‏"‏لا تبرح حتى آتيك‏"‏ فلم أبرح حتى أتانى، فقلت ‏:‏ لقد سمعت صوتاً تخوفت منه، فذكرت له، فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏وهل سمعته‏؟‏‏"‏ قلت‏:‏ نعم، قال‏:‏ ‏"‏ذاك جبريل أتانى فقال‏:‏ من مات من أمتك لا يشرك بالله شيئاً دخل الجنة، قلت‏:‏ وإن زنى وإن سرق‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ وإن زنى وإن سرق‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه وهذا لفظ البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the mercy of Allah for his slaves. It was narrated by Abu Dharr, who was walking with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on a stony ground in Al-Madinah when Uhud Mount came into sight. The Prophet said that if he had as much gold as the weight of Uhud, it would not please him to have a single dinar out of it after three days, but he would hold back something for repayment of debt and distribute it among the slaves of Allah like this and like this and like this. He then pointed in front of him, on his right side and on his left side. After walking further ahead, he said that only few people are rich enough to spend their wealth like this and like this and like this; pointing again in front of him, on his right side and on his left side. Then he disappeared from Abu Dharr's sight but soon returned after hearing a loud voice from afar which made Abu Dharr worry about what might have happened to him; however when he returned he told Abu Dharr that it was Jibril who came to him saying that whoever dies among your Ummah without having associated anything with Allah will enter Jannah even if they committed sins such as illicit sexual intercourse or stealing. This hadith teaches us about the mercy of Allah towards His slaves despite their sins; He is willing to forgive them so long as they repent sincerely before death comes upon them. It also teaches us how we should spend our wealth - not just keeping it all for ourselves but rather distributing some amongst those less fortunate than us so we can gain rewards from God Almighty Himself!
