Hadith 3865

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ جَعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا ، جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ فِي النَّارِ " . (حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) قَالَ : وَأُخْرَى أَقُولُهَا ، لَمْ أَسْمَعْهَا مِنْهُ : وَمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يَجْعَلُ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا ، أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ مَا اجْتُنِبَ الْمَقْتَلُ .
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that there are two statements, one of which I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the other I say from myself. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever dies in such a state that he associates anyone with Allah, he will enter Hell." And I say that whoever dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, he will enter Paradise, and these prayers become an expiation for the times between them, provided that a person refrains from killing and fighting.
