كتاب الإيمانThe Book of Faith
باب بَيَانِ الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي يُدْخَلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةُ وَأَنَّ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِمَا أُمِرَ بِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ:Chapter: Explaining the faith by means of which a person is admitted into paradise, and that the one who adheres to what is enjoined upon him will enter paradise
Hadith 15
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ قَوْقَلٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، " أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ ، وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ ، وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلَالَ ، أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّة ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : نَعَمْ " .
It is narrated on the authority of Jabir that Nu'man bin Qaufal came to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Would I enter Paradise if I say the obligatory prayers and deny myself that which is forbidden and treat that as lawful what has been made permissible (by the Shari'ah)? The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied in the affirmative.

وحَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ وَالْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنِ شَيْبَانَ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ وَأَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ قَوْقَلٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَ فِيهِ ، وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا .
A similar hadith is narrated on Jabir's authority in which the following words are added: I will do nothing more.

وحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا ، سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ ، وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ ، وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلَالَ ، وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ ، وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا ، أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ " ، قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا .
It is narrated on the authority of Jabir that a man once said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) : Shall I enter Paradise in case I say the obligatory prayers, observe the (fasts) of Ramadan and treat that as lawful which has been made permissible (by the Shari'ah) and deny myself that what is forbidden, and make no addition to it? He (the Holy Prophet) replied in the affirmative. He (the inquirer) said: By Allah, I would add nothing to it.
