عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُحَيْمٍ عَنْ أُمِّهِ ابْنَةِ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ الْغِفَّارِيِّ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَدْنُو مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا قِيدُ ذِرَاعٍ فَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ فَيَتَبَاعَدُ مِنْهَا أَبْعَدَ مِنْ صَنْعَاءَ
It is narrated from Sayyida bint Abi Hakam Ghafari (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, a person keeps getting closer to Paradise, until there remains only a hand’s span between him and Paradise, but then he does such (a worst) deed that because of it, he becomes as far from Paradise as (the distance to) Sana’a.
