Do Good Deeds within Ability, Rely on Allah's Mercy

This hadith explains that no matter how many good deeds a person does, they cannot enter Paradise on their own merit. It is only through the mercy of Allah that one can be granted entrance into Paradise. The Prophet Muhammad also advises his companions to be moderate in their religious duties and to do what they are able to do without overburdening themselves. He also warns against wishing for death as it could lead to a decrease in good deeds if one is an evil-doer or prevent them from doing more if they are a righteous person. This hadith teaches us that we should strive to do as much good as we can while relying on the mercy of Allah for our ultimate salvation.
