Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 4455

«كان رجلان في بني إسرائيل متواخيان وكان أحدهما مذنبا والآخر مجتهدا في العبادة وكان لا يزال المجتهد يرى الآخر على الذنب فيقول: أقصر فوجده يوما على ذنب فقال له: أقصر فقال: خلني وربي أبعثت علي رقيبا؟ ! فقال: والله لا يغفر الله لك أو لا يدخلك الله الجنة فقبض روحهما فاجتمعا عند رب العالمين فقال لهذا المجتهد: أكنت بي عالما أو كنت على ما في يدي قادرا؟ ! وقال للمذنب: اذهب فادخل الجنة برحمتي وقال للآخر: اذهبوا به إلى النار»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"There were two men among the Children of Israel who were like brothers to each other. One of them was a sinner and the other was diligent in worship. The worshipper would constantly see the other in sin and say: Stop it. One day he found him in sin again and said: Stop it. He said: Leave me to my Lord; have you been sent as a watcher over me?! So he (the worshipper) said: By Allah! Allah will never forgive you, or Allah will never admit you into Paradise. Then the souls of both of them were taken, and they both gathered before the Lord of the worlds. Allah Almighty said to this worshipper: Did you have knowledge of Me, or did you have power over what is in My hand?! And He said to the sinner: Go and enter Paradise by My mercy. And He said about the other: Take him to Hell."
