عَنْ وَاهِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ عَلَى رَغْمِ أَنْفِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ لِأُنَادِيَ بِهَا فِي النَّاسِ قَالَ فَلَقِيَنِي عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ إِنْ عَلِمُوا بِهَذِهِ اتَّكَلُوا عَلَيْهَا فَرَجَعْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدَقَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever says “La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu” (There is no god but Allah, He is alone, He has no partner), he will enter Paradise. I said: Even if he has committed adultery and theft? The Prophet (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? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if he has committed adultery and theft. I said: Even if he has committed adultery and theft? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if he has committed adultery and theft, even if Abu Darda’s nose is rubbed in dust. He says: Then I left from there and began announcing this hadith among the people. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met me, he said: Go back to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), if people come to know of this, they will rely on it (and abandon deeds). So I returned and informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Umar has spoken the truth.
