Is it required to possess all these qualities in order for Allah to shade him in His shade?

The questioner : Regarding the hadith of Ibn Hurayrah, is it required for a man to possess all these qualities, or is it sufficient to possess one to enter the shade?

The Shaykh : No, one is sufficient. Each one is a cause for Allah to shade him in His shade, and he will not be in His shade.

The questioner : What contradicts within the same hadith, for example, a just imam? If his wife calls him to commit a sin, he commits it. How can this be? That is, he is just, yet if he is asked to commit a sin, he does so, if he is just.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.

The questioner : I reached out to Allah the Mighty and Sublime on a day, saying, "I will divorce you, except by Allah."

The Shaykh : Yes, and the second reward is forbidden. But tell me, if he combines two qualities, is the shade doubled for him, or is it added to his good deeds?
The second answer, and this has parallels: So where is the sin if he fasts? The answer is that it may be said that his fasting is defective, so it does not reach the point where his previous sins are forgiven. This is added to that. If his fasting is complete and has no defect, the reward for standing in prayer becomes an addition, increasing his reward. Likewise, the five prayers, from Friday to Friday, and from Ramadan to Ramadan, are expiations for what is between them, provided they are not accompanied by major sins. We say that if there is a defect in one, it is made up by the other. If there is no defect, that becomes an addition to his reward and good deeds.
