Reconciling the hadith (Whoever says there is no god but Allah will enter Paradise) with the hadith (The tale-bearer will not enter Paradise) and the hadith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says in it:
Allah has forbidden his body to the Fire, or Allah has forbidden him to the Fire حرم الله بدنه على النار أو حرمه الله على النار
So if, as we mentioned earlier, he has fulfilled the obligation of testimony, the text is to be taken at its apparent meaning, meaning he will not enter the Fire in any way. And if he was negligent, then the Fire here is interpreted as the Fire of the disbelievers, i.e., those who remain in it forever. He will enter the Fire to the extent that he fell short in his testimony, and then his destination will be Paradise. With this interpretation, many hadiths that appear to contradict each other are explained. For example:
Whoever says there is no god but Allah will enter Paradise من قال لا إله إلا الله دخل الجنة
Sahih Ibn Hibban 4:44
But he said:
The beater of false tales would never enter heaven لا يدخل الجنة قتات منان
Sahih Muslim 105b
No *diwth* will enter Paradise. لا يدخل الجنة ديوث
How is the reconciliation?
Whoever says there is no god but Allah will enter Paradise من قال لا إله إلا الله دخل الجنة
Sahih Ibn Hibban 4:44
And here he says:
No one enters Paradise لا يدخل الجنة
meaning the result is that the tale-bearer will not enter Paradise, or what is the hadith we mentioned earlier? The coward. And if he says there is no god but Allah, the reconciliation between the two hadiths... And if he says there is no god but Allah, he will not enter Paradise. In that case, the negation in the hadith: "will not enter Paradise" means with the foremost of the foremost, or "will not enter Paradise" means before seeing the painful punishment. Because he is either a tale-bearer or a coward, except after he is purified. At that time, he enters Paradise. So the entry that is negated in this hadith is not entry in an absolute sense, but rather entry either with the foremost of the foremost or without punishment.

The questioner : Beginning.

The Shaykh : Beginning.
