The Book of Faith-08a

The reciter: Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Zakariyya ibn Abi Zayd and Abu Mu'awiya narrated to us from 'Asim from Abu Usman from Sa'd and Abu Bakrah, each of them saying: My two ears heard it and my heart grasped it, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: .

The Shaykh : His statement: This type of wording occurs frequently in the hadiths of warning, in order to deter people from what they are warned about. It carries two possible meanings: The first meaning is that this sin may encompass a person until he reaches disbelief, and may Allah protect us from that, and Paradise becomes absolutely forbidden to him.
The second aspect is that we say: Entering Paradise is divided into two categories: absolute entry that is not preceded by punishment, and absolute entry, meaning it is preceded by punishment. So when the word comes, does it refer to the first or the second? The first is absolute prohibition, meaning he cannot enter it ever. The second is absolute prohibition [of immediate entry], so when the text says: and this action does not take one out of Islam, the intended meaning is the second. What does that mean? It means absolute prohibition [of immediate entry]. So it is not forbidden to him forever, but he is punished according to his deeds, and then in the end he enters Paradise.
Likewise, when comes, meaning the talebearer, we say: Entry is of two types: absolute and absolute entry. So his statement: means what? Absolute entry that is not preceded by punishment, not absolute entry [of the soul], because talebearing does not take one out of Islam, so it does not necessitate that a person is absolutely forbidden from entering Paradise.
