The questioner : My Shaykh, regarding the characteristics in that hadith, the hadith of the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without reckoning: if these characteristics occur in a person without his knowledge, before he learns this hadith, is it said that his share is not among them and he is not qualified to be described as being with them? Or does the lack of knowledge and this matter prevent him from being included, and he starts from the point of his knowledge of this hadith until he is granted the status of being among them?
The Shaykh : You mean that he was cauterized and did not know.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This hadith.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It means that it contradicts reliance upon Allah and contradicts being among the seventy thousand, whether the hadith reached him and he contradicted it, or it did not reach him.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The Shaykh : You mean that he was cauterized and did not know.
