Upon the Authority Of
Abu Dharr – Radhiyallahu Anhu who said:
I asked the Messenger of Allah – Sallallahu
alaihi wa Salam:
“What will save a
servant (of Allah) from the Fire?”
He said:
“Imaan (Faith) in
Allah”
I said: “Oh Prophet of Allah” With Imaan
there is action?
He said: “That one gives (even if it is
little) from that which Allah has bestowed upon you and that you give (even if
it is little) from that which Allah has provided you”
I said: “Oh
Prophet of Allah! what if he is poor and finds nothing to give?
He said: “He
enjoins the good and forbids the evil”
I said: “What if he is not able to enjoin
the good and forbid the evil?”
He said: “Then he gives aid to the one who
has no skill (or trade by way of which he receives earnings)”
I said: ” Oh Messenger of Allah! What if he
(himself) has no trade?
He said: “He aids
someone oppressed”
I said: “Oh prophet of Allah! What if he is
weak and unable to aid one oppressed?”
He said: “If you
do not not wish to leave any good with your brother then one should avoid
harming the people”
I said: “Oh Messenger of Allah! If he does
this will he be entered into Jannah?
He said: “There is no
Believer who seeks to perform one of these affairs except that it will take him
by the hand and enter him into Jannah”
