Abu Nadrah relates: One of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who was called Abu Abdullah, was visited by his students who came to see him during his illness, and he was weeping. The people asked him: "Why are you weeping? Did not the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say to you: 'Keep your moustache trimmed, then keep it that way until you come to meet me'?" That man replied: "Yes, but I also heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Indeed Allah Almighty took some people in His right hand and other people in the other hand, and said: "These are for this (that is, Paradise), and these are for that (that is, Hell), and I do not care."' (Then that Companion said:) I do not know in which of the two handfuls I was."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
