The reciter: And Abu Bakr ibn Ishaq narrated to me, and 'Affan narrated to us, and Wahib narrated to us, and Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Abu Zar'ah, from Abu Hurayrah Sahih Muslim 14b
The Shaykh : Now, do we say in this hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) testified that this man is from the people of Paradise? Or do we say that the meaning is the category? Consider it until
The mu'adhdhin: Allah is the Greatest.
The Shaykh : a specific man, or do we say it is a testimony for the category? It is possible, it is possible that it is a testimony for the category, because he said in the first hadith: "If he holds fast to what he was commanded, or holds fast to it, he will enter Paradise." And here he used the general term, meaning whoever would like to look at the category of the people of Paradise, let him look at this one who held fast.
The questioner : Does the indication specify, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It does not specify, but it does not specify by the person; it may specify by the category, as the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the hadith of the cup-taker and the one cupped, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by them and said, "Have these two broken their fast?"
It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that a bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, direct me to a deed by which I may be entitled to enter Paradise. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: You worship Allah and never associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayer, and pay the Zakat which is incumbent upon you, and observe the fast of Ramadan. He (the bedouin) said: By Him in Whose hand is my life, I will never add anything to it, nor will I diminish anything from it. When he (the bedouin) turned his back, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: He who is pleased to see a man from the dwellers of Paradise should catch a glimpse of him.
أنّ أعرابيًّا جاء إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فقال : يا رسول الله ، دلّني على عملٍ إذا عملته دخلت الجنّة ، قال : تعبد الله لا تشرك به شيئًا ، وتقيم الصّلاة المكتوبة ، وتؤدّي الزّكاة المفروضة ، وتصوم رمضان ، قال : والّذي نفسي بيده ، لا أزيد على هذا شيئًا أبدًا ، ولا أنقص منه ، فلمّا ولّى قال النّبيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم : من سرّه أنّ ينظر إلى رجلٍ من أهل الجنّة ، فلينظر إلى هذاThe Shaykh : Now, do we say in this hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) testified that this man is from the people of Paradise?
