It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be moderate and keep to what is right, for the deeds of none of you will save him." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Prophet of Allah, not even you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Not even me, unless Allah Almighty covers me with His mercy and grace."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith through the chain of al-A'mash, from Abu Salih, from Jabir, except Sharik, and Hatim bin Isma'il is alone in narrating it."
