حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ , حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ , حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ , عَنْ أَنَسٍ , أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ حَدَّثَهُ , أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ : " يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ " , قَالَ : لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , وَسَعْدَيْكَ , قَالَ : " لَا يَشْهَدُ عَبْدٌ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ , ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ " , قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَفَلَا أُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ , قَالَ : " لَا , إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَتَّكِلُوا عَلَيْهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: "O Mu'adh bin Jabal!" He replied, "At your service, O Messenger of Allah, and may happiness be yours." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever dies in such a state that he bears witness with a sincere heart that there is no god but Allah, will enter Paradise." I asked, "Should I not inform the people of this?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "No, I fear that they will rely on it and stop striving."
