حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْضَمُ بْنُ جَوْسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " كَانَ رَجُلَانِ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُتَآخِيَيْنِ ، فَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا يُذْنِبُ وَالْآخَرُ مُجْتَهِدٌ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ ، فَكَانَ لَا يَزَالُ الْمُجْتَهِدُ يَرَى الْآخَرَ عَلَى الذَّنْبِ ، فَيَقُولُ : أَقْصِرْ ، فَوَجَدَهُ يَوْمًا عَلَى ذَنْبٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : أَقْصِرْ ، فَقَالَ : خَلِّنِي وَرَبِّي أَبُعِثْتَ عَلَيَّ رَقِيبًا ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكَ أَوْ لَا يُدْخِلُكَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَبَضَ أَرْوَاحَهُمَا ، فَاجْتَمَعَا عِنْدَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، فَقَالَ لِهَذَا الْمُجْتَهِدِ : أَكُنْتَ بِي عَالِمًا أَوْ كُنْتَ عَلَى مَا فِي يَدِي قَادِرًا ، وَقَالَ لِلْمُذْنِبِ : اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِي ، وَقَالَ لِلْآخَرِ : اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى النَّارِ " , قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَكَلَّمَ بِكَلِمَةٍ أَوْبَقَتْ دُنْيَاهُ وَآخِرَتَهُ .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There were two men among Banu Isra'il, who were striving for the same goal. One of them would commit sin and the other would strive to do his best in the world. The man who exerted himself in worship continued to see the other in sin. He would say: Refrain from it. One day he found him in sin and said to him: Refrain from it. He said: Leave me alone with my Lord. Have you been sent as a watchman over me? He said: I swear by Allah, Allah will not forgive you, nor will he admit you to Paradise. Then their souls were taken back (by Allah), and they met together with the Lord of the worlds. He (Allah) said to this man who had striven hard in worship; Had you knowledge about Me or had you power over that which I had in My hand? He said to the man who sinned: Go and enter Paradise by My mercy. He said about the other: Take him to Hell. Abu Hurairah said: By Him in Whose hand my soul is, he spoke a word by which this world and the next world of his were destroyed.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Those engaged in the blessed deeds of righteousness, goodness, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong should not exceed the limits.
Moreover, they should not be deceived by their good deeds in any way, thinking that they will certainly enter Paradise, nor should they harbor the misconception regarding sinful Muslims that Allah will not forgive them or that they will not enter Paradise.
The scale of justice of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is extremely precise and wondrous.
Whatever decisions Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has made and will make are all based on justice, and there is none who can question Him, while He can question everyone.
The noble statement is: (لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ) (Al-Anbiya: 23)
➋
Paradise is entirely the grace and favor of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; it is not a recompense or price for good deeds.
Good deeds are merely an expression of servitude.
The more a servant advances in expressing servitude, the more he should hope to become deserving of greater grace and favor, and at the same time, he should always remain fearful that all of this may not be accepted.
﴿Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing. Our Lord, and make us Muslims [in submission] to You and from our descendants a Muslim [in submission] nation to You. And show us our rites and turn to us. Indeed, You are the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.﴾
