Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Asad bin Kurz (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Asad bin Kurz! You will not enter Paradise because of your deeds, but rather by the mercy of Allah, the Exalted." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! And will you also not enter (Paradise) because of your deeds?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(Yes,) I also will not, unless Allah, the Exalted, covers me with His mercy (then I will enter Paradise)."
