Is it true that whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer, nothing stands between him and entering Paradise except death?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is it true that whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer, nothing stands between him and entering Paradise except

The Shaykh:
Yes, this was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that
Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursiمن قرأ آية الكرسي
Bulugh al-Maram 2:220
after the Fajr prayer, after the Maghrib prayer, nothing stands between him and Paradise except death, or nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except death, provided his intention is sound and his inner self is good,

The questioner:
How can death be a barrier to entering Paradise, Shaykh Fahd? What is the meaning of this hadith? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
It means as long as he is alive, because Paradise is only after death, and no one enters it during their lifetime in this world. Yes, so when he dies, he enters Paradise. Death is the transition from this world to the Hereafter. Yes, and the scholars say there is an implied condition in the hadith,
nothing but death will prevent him from entering Paradiseلم يمنعه من دخول الجنة إلا الموت
Bulugh al-Maram 2:220
, an implied condition of not dying,

The presenter:
Once this implied condition is clarified, the hadith is clarified.

The Shaykh:
That is the intended meaning.

The presenter:
The meaning is not dying. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good, because there is no entering Paradise except after death. May Allah reward you with good,

The Shaykh:
So Paradise is among the matters of the Hereafter.

The presenter:
Among the matters of the Hereafter. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
