The Path to Paradise
Narrated by Jābir bin ʿAbd Allāhعن [أبي عبدِ اللهِ جابرِ بنِ عبدِ اللهِ الأنصاريِّ] رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُما، أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إذا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوباتِ، وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلالَ، وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرامَ، وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى ذلِكَ شَيْئًا، أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قالَ: "نَعَمْ".
رواه مسلِمٌ. ومعنى حَرَّمْتُ الحرامَ: اجْتَنَبْتُه. ومعنى أَحْلَلْتُ الحلالَ: فَعَلْتُه مُعْتَقِدًا حِلَّه.
From AbūʿAbd Allāh Jābir bin ʿAbd Allāh al-Ansārī (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhumā), that a man asked the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wasallam) and said: Do you consider that if I pray the prescribed prayers, fast in Ramaḍān, treat as lawful what is lawful (believing and abiding by that) and treat as unlawful what is unlawful (believing and abiding by that), and I do not add anything else to that, shall I enter Paradise?" He (the Messenger) said, "Yes."
