The questioner:
The Shaykh’s issue: A hadith was mentioned that AllahSahih al-Bukhari 5401.
The Shaykh:
That he says "There is no god but Allah," seeking thereby the Face of Allah, is merely a verbal statement.
The questioner:
And the hadith, so how do you combine these two hadiths?
The Shaykh:
The hadith that the *diyyuth* does not enter Paradise is from the category of warnings. This applies to the *fasiq* (open sinner) who is warned of the Fire, if Allah wills He forgives them, and if He wills He punishes them. This is from the hadiths of warning. If this *diyyuth* is not a disbeliever or an apostate, but rather one of the Muslims, then being a *diyyuth* is a major sin, from the major sins, but it is under Allah’s will. This hadith is from the hadiths of warning. Yes.
The Shaykh’s issue: A hadith was mentioned that Allah
Narrated 'Urban bin Malik: who attended the Badr battle and was from the Ansar, that he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people in the prayer (as an Imam). When it rains, the valley which is between me and my people, flows with water, and then I cannot go to their mosque to lead them in the prayer. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish that you could come and pray in my house so that I may take it as a praying place. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah willing, I will do that." The next morning, soon after the sun had risen, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came with Abu Bakr. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for the permission to enter and I admitted him. The Prophet (ﷺ) had not sat till he had entered the house and said to me, "Where do you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed at a place in my house whereupon he stood and said, "Allahu Akbar." We lined behind him and he prayed two rak`at and finished it with Taslim. We then requested him to stay for a special meal of Khazira which we had prepared. A large number of men from the adjoining area gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Malik bin Ad-Dukhshun?" Another man said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "Do not say so. Do you not think that he has said: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah," seeking Allah's pleasure? The man said, "Allah and His Apostle know better, but we have always seen him mixing with hypocrites and giving them advice." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has forbidden the (Hell) Fire for those who testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, seeking Allah's pleasure. "
