Hadith 46

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al-Akhbar’ – From his father, from Muhammad Al Attar, from Sahl, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Riab, from Al-Hassan Bin Ziyad Al Attar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘They (people) are saying to us, ‘Are you Momineen? ’ So we say, ‘Yes’. They said, ‘Wouldn’t the Momineen be in the Paradise? ’ We say, ‘Yes’. They said, ‘So you will be in the Paradise? ’ When we look at ourselves, our weakness, and we are broken from the answering’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said; ‘When they say to you, ‘Are you Momineen’, then say, ‘Yes, if Allah-azwj so Desires’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So they are saying, ‘But rather you are making an exclusion because you are doubtful’. He-asws said: ‘Say to them, ‘By Allah-azwj! We are not being doubtful, but Allah-azwj has Made and Exclusion for us, just as the Mighty and Majestic Said: You will be entering the Sacred Masjid in safety if Allah so Desires, [48: 27], and He-azwj Knew that they will be entering it first. And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Named the Momineen as being with the righteous deeds as ‘Momineen’ and did not Name the one committing the major sins, and (indulging in) what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Threatened the Fire upon in the Quran, nor tracks, nor do we name them as being with the Eman after that deed’’.
