حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ
زُهَيْرٍ ، عَنِ
الْعَلَاءِ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي عَلَى طَرِيقٍ ، وَجَدَ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ ، فَقَالَ : لَأَرْفَعَنَّ هَذَا لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَغْفِرُ لِي بِهِ ، فَرَفَعَهُ ، فَغَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ وَأَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ " .
It is narrated with the same chain that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man found a thorny branch on the path of the Muslims, so he thought to himself, "I will remove it; perhaps Allah Almighty will forgive me due to its blessing." So he removed it, and due to its blessing, he was forgiven and entered Paradise.
