Question:
The Shaykh: The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Ibn Hibban 13:172, is there a detailed explanation regarding it?
Answer:
The Shaykh: There is a narration with the word “walks” (yamshi), and in another narration it is “walks” (yamshi) with a shīn and a zāy. This means that among the causes of entering Paradise and being saved from the Fire is the abundance of dhikr (remembrance of Allah). It is detailed in the hadith, and it is placed on the back. Or something on the back. Every good deed has its reward. A person may come in a single day with many causes that save him from the Fire, and he may come with many causes that make the Fire obligatory for him.
