Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The meaning of his saying:
Allah will forbid Paradise for himإلا حرَّم الله عليه الجنة
Sahih al-Bukhari 7151
?
This falls under the category of threats. Entering the Fire and being forbidden from Paradise are matters of threat, except for one who commits major disbelief; such a person will abide in the Fire forever.
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He willsإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ
[Surah al-Nisa: 48] This is included in that: Allah has forbidden Paradise for him and he has entered the Fire. For example:
But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment.وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا
[Surah al-Nisa: 93] Likewise: one who claims descent from other than his father; Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and similar cases.
