FROM THE GLAD TIDINGS OF A
GOOD ENDING
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
From Hudayfah who said: I
made the Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam recline against my chest and he
said:
مَنْ
قَالَ لا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ اللَّهِ خُتِمَ لَهُ بِهَا دَخَلَ
الْجَنَّةَ ،وَمَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ اللَّهِ خُتِمَ لَهُ بِهَا دَخَلَ
الْجَنَّةَ ، وَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ اللَّهِ خُتِمَ لَهُ بِهَا
دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ
’Whoever says La ilaha ila
Allaah seeking the Face of Allaah and dies whist doing so enters Paradise.
Whoever fasts a day seeking
the Face of Allaah and dies whilst doing so enters Paradise.
Whoever gave charity seeking
the Face of Allaah and dies whilst doing so enters Paradise.’
[Collected by Ahmad.
Al-Mundhri said: Collected by Ahmad and his Isnaad has no problems. Albaani
authenticated it in Saheeh Targheeb no. 985.]
In another narration with
extra wording:
من
ختم له بإطعام مسكين محتسبا على الله عز وجل دخل الجنة ‘
Whoever dies whilst feeding a
needy person seeking a reward from Allaah Azza wa Jal enters Paradise.’
[Researched by Albaani in
Silsilah Saheeh no. 1645]
In another narration:
يا
حذيفة : من خُتِمَ له بصيام يومٍ ، يُريدُ به وجه الله عز وجل ، أدخله الله الجنة
‘O Hudayfah, whoever dies
whilst fasting one day wanting the Face of Allaah Azza wa Jal, then Allaah
enters him into Paradise.’
[Collected by Al-Asbahaani
and authenticated by Albaani in Saheeh Targheeb 1/579]
