507- مالك عن يحيى بن سعيد عن سعيد بن أبى سعيد المقبري عن عبد الله بن أبى قتادة عن أبيه أنه قال: جاء رجل إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: يا رسول الله، إن قتلت فى سبيل الله صابرا محتسبا مقبلا غير مدبر، أيكفر الله عني خطاياي؟ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ”نعم فلما أدبر الرجل ناداه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أو أمر به فنودي له، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ”كيف قلت؟“ فأعاد عليه قوله، فقال له النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم: ”نعم إلا الدين، كذلك قال لي جبريل.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! If I am killed in the way of Allah in such a state that I am patient, sincere in intention, advancing forward to attack and not turning my back, will Allah forgive my sins? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes!" Then when that man turned and went back, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called him or ordered him to be called, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "How did you say?" He repeated his statement, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Yes! Except for debt, thus Jibreel has told me."

[وأخرجه النسائي 34/6 ح 3158، من حديث ابن القاسم عن مالك به ورواه مسلم 1885/117، من حديث يحيي بن سعيد الانصاري به من رواية يحيي بن يحيي وجاء فى الأصل : ”بْنِ سَعِيْدِ“ وهو خطأ]
Jurisprudential Points:
➊ Jibril (alayhis salam) would bring to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) not only the Qur'an but also hadith as revelation, as is clear from this hadith in «إلا الدَّين», therefore hadith is also revelation.
● Sayyiduna Hassan bin Atiyyah (rahimahullah), the well-known Tabi'i, said: Jibril (alayhis salam) would descend to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) with the Sunnah just as he would descend with the Qur'an, and he would teach him the Sunnah just as he would teach him the Qur'an. [المراسل لا بي داود : 536 وسنده صحيح، السنة للمروزي ص 33 ح 102، وسنده صحيح]
➋ A debt is never forgiven except if the creditor himself forgives it.
➌ Sins are forgiven through righteous deeds.
➍ Regarding the statements and actions of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Hafiz Ibn Abd al-Barr writes:
. «وكلّ من الله إلا ماقام عليه الدليل فإنه لا ينطق عن الهوى صلَّى اللهُ عَليهِ وسَلمَ و شرف و كرم». All is from Allah except that for which there is evidence specifying otherwise, because he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) does not speak from his own desire. May Allah bestow honor and nobility upon him. [التمهيد 241/23]
