Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted: "From Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
I was riding behind the Prophet on an ass with nothing between him and me but the rear part of the saddle, when he said, “Do you know, Mu'adh, what God has a right to expect from His servants, and what His servants have a right to expect from God?” I replied, “God and His messenger know best.” He said, “What God has a right to expect from His servants is that they should worship Him, not associating anything with him; and what the servants have a right to expect from God is that He should not punish one who does not associate anything with Him.” I said, “Messenger of God, shall I not give this good news to the people?” He replied, “Do not tell them, and have them trusting in it alone.”
كنت رديف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على حمار فقال: يا معاذ هل تدري ما حق الله على عباده، وما حق العباد على الله ؟ قلت: الله ورسوله أعلم، قال: فإن حق الله على العباد أن يعبدوه، ولا يشركوا به شيئاً، وحق العباد على الله أن لا يعذب من لا يشرك به شيئاً، فقلت: يا رسول الله أفلا أبشر الناس ؟ قال: لا تبشرهم فيتكلواAnd from al-Bara' ibn 'Azib (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: المسلم إذا سُئل في القبر يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمداً رسول الله، فذلك قوله تعالى: يثبت الله الذين آمنوا بالقول الثابت في الحياة الدنيا وفي الآخرة When the Muslim is questioned in the grave, he testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. That is the statement of Allah the Exalted: "Allah will make firm those who believe with the firm word in this life and in the Hereafter.", agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
And from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:
When a non-believer does good he is made to taste Its reward in this world. And so far as the believer is concerned, Allah stores (the reward) of his virtues for the Hereafter and provides him sustenance in accordance with his obedience to Him.
إن الكافر إذا عمل حسنة أُطعم بها طُعمة من الدنيا، وأما المؤمن فإن الله تعالى يدخر له حسناته في الآخرة، ويعقبه رزقاً في الدنيا على طاعتهIn another narration:
Verily, Allah does not treat a believer unjustly in regard to his virtues. He would confer upon him (His blessing) in this world and would give him reward in the Hereafter. And as regards a non-believer, he would be made to taste the reward (of virtue in this world) what he has done for himself so much that when it would be the Hereafter, he would find no virtue for which he should be rewarded.
إن الله لا يظلم مؤمناً حسنة يُعطى بها في الدنيا، ويجزى بها في الآخرة، وأما الكافر فيُطعم بحسنات ما عمل لله تعالى في الدنيا، حتى إذا أفضى إلى الآخرة لم يكن له حسنة يجزى بهاAnd from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
If any Muslim dies and forty men who associate nothing with Allah stand over his prayer (they offer prayer over him), Allah will accept them as intercessors for him.
ما مِن رجل مسلم يموت فيقوم على جنازته أربعون رجلاً لا يشركون بالله شيئا إلا شفعهم الله فيهAnd from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a tent, about forty of us, and he said: "Are you pleased to be a quarter of the people of Paradise?" We said: "Yes." He said: "Are you pleased to be a third of the people of Paradise?" We said: "Yes." He said: "By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise. That is because no one enters Paradise except a Muslim soul, and you are among the people of shirk (associating partners with Allah) like a white hair on the skin of a black bull, or like a black hair on the skin of a red bull."
كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في قبة نحوا من أربعين فقال: أترضون أن تكونوا ربع أهل الجنة ؟ قلنا: نعم، قال: أترضون أن تكونوا ثلث أهل الجنة ؟ قلنا: نعم، قال: والذي نفس محمد بيده إني لأرجو أن تكونوا نصف أهل الجنة، وذلك أن الجنة لا يدخلها إلا نفس مسلمة، وما أنتم في أهل الشرك إلا كالشعرة البيضاء في جلد الثور الأسود، أو كالشعرة السوداء في جلد الثور الأحمرAnd from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
when the day of resurrection comes God will hand a Jew or a Christian to every Muslim and say, "This is your means of release from hell."
إذا كان يوم القيامة دفع الله إلى كل مسلم يهودياً أو نصرانياً فيقول: هذا فكاكك من النارIn another narration from him, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:
There would come people amongst the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them
يَجيء يوم القيامة ناس من المسلمين بذنوب أمثال الجبال يغفرها الله لهمAnd from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
