Narrated Abu Dhar: While I was walking with the Prophet in the Harra of Medina, Uhud came in sight. The Prophet said, “O Abu Dhar!” I said, “Labbaik, O Allah’s Apostle!” He said, “I would not like to have gold equal to this mountain of Uhud, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar of it remains with me for more than three days, except something which I will keep for repaying debts. I would have spent all of it (distributed it) amongst Allah’s Slaves like this, and like this, and like this.” The Prophet pointed out with his hand towards his right, his left and his back (while illustrating it). He proceeded with his walk and said, “The rich are in fact the poor (little rewarded) on the Day of Resurrection except those who spend their wealth like this, and like this, and like this, to their right, left and back, but such people are few in number.” Then he said to me, “Stay at your place and do not leave it till I come back.” Then he proceeded in the darkness of the night till he went out of sight, and then I heard a loud voice, and was afraid that something might have happened to the Prophet .1 intended to go to him, but I remembered what he had said to me, i.e. ‘Don’t leave your place till I come back to you,’ so I remained at my place till he came back to me. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I heard a voice and I was afraid.” So I mentioned the whole story to him. He said, “Did you hear it?” I replied, “Yes.” He said, “It was Gabriel who came to me and said, ‘Whoever died without joining others in worship with Allah, will enter Paradise.’ I asked (Gabriel), ‘Even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse? Gabriel said, ‘Yes, even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse.”
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا الحسن بن الربيع، حدثنا أبو الأحوص، عن الأعمش، عن زيد بن وهب، قال قال أبو ذر كنت أمشي مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في حرة المدينة فاستقبلنا أحد فقال ” يا أبا ذر ”. قلت لبيك يا رسول الله. قال ” ما يسرني أن عندي مثل أحد هذا ذهبا، تمضي على ثالثة وعندي منه دينار، إلا شيئا أرصده لدين، إلا أن أقول به في عباد الله هكذا وهكذا وهكذا ”. عن يمينه وعن شماله ومن خلفه. ثم مشى فقال ” إن الأكثرين هم الأقلون يوم القيامة إلا من قال هكذا وهكذا وهكذا عن يمينه وعن شماله ومن خلفه وقليل ما هم ”. ثم قال لي ” مكانك لا تبرح حتى آتيك ”. ثم انطلق في سواد الليل حتى توارى فسمعت صوتا قد ارتفع، فتخوفت أن يكون قد عرض للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأردت أن آتيه فذكرت قوله لي ” لا تبرح حتى آتيك ” فلم أبرح حتى أتاني، قلت يا رسول الله لقد سمعت صوتا تخوفت، فذكرت له فقال ” وهل سمعته ”. قلت نعم. قال ” ذاك جبريل أتاني فقال من مات من أمتك لا يشرك بالله شيئا دخل الجنة ”. قلت وإن زنى وإن سرق قال ” وإن زنى وإن سرق ”.
