عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدُّؤَلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ أَبْيَضُ فَإِذَا هُوَ نَائِمٌ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ أُحَدِّثُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ نَائِمٌ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ وَقَدِ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ مَاتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ عَلَى رَغْمِ أَنْفِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَجُرُّ إِزَارَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَإِنْ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَكَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا بَعْدُ وَيَقُولُ وَإِنْ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing white clothes and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was sleeping. I went again to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to talk, but this time too he (peace and blessings be upon him) was sleeping. When I went to him (peace and blessings be upon him) the third time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) had woken up, so I went and sat with him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever says LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH (There is no god but Allah) and dies upon it, will enter Paradise. I said: Even if he has committed adultery and theft? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if he has committed adultery and theft. I asked again: Even if he has committed adultery and theft? This happened three times. The fourth time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Abu Dharr’s nose be rubbed in dust. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) left dragging his lower garment and saying: Even if Abu Dharr’s nose be rubbed in dust. Then whenever he narrated this hadith, at the end he would say: Even if Abu Dharr’s nose be rubbed in dust.
