2388. Narrated Abū D̄har رضي الله عنه: Once, while I was in the company of the Prophet ﷺ, he saw the mountain of Uhud and said, “I would not like to have this mountain turned into gold for me unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinār remains of it with me for more than three days (i.e., I will spend all of it in Allāh’s Cause), except that Dinār which I will keep for repaying debts.” Then he said, “Those who are rich in this world would have little reward in the Hereafter, except those who spend their money here and there (in Allāh’s Cause), and they are few in number.” Then he ordered me to stay at my place and went not far away. I heard a voice and intended to go to him but I remembered his order, “Stay at your place till I return.” On his return I asked, “O Allāh’s Messenger! (What was that noise which I heard?” He said, “Did you hear anything?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Jibrīl [Gabriel] (عليه السلام) came to me and said, ‘Whoever amongst your followers dies, worshipping none along with Allāh, will enter Paradise.’” I said, “Even if he did such and such things (i.e., even if he stole or committed illegal sexual intercourse)” He (ﷺ) said, "Yes."

2388 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرَ - يَعْنِي أُحُدًا - قَالَ: «مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّهُ تَحَوَّلَ لِي ذَهَبًا، يَمْكُثُ عِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ، إِلَّا دِينَارًا أُرْصِدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الأَكْثَرِينَ هُمُ الأَقَلُّونَ، إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ بِالْمَالِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا، - وَأَشَارَ أَبُو شِهَابٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ - وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ»، وَقَالَ: «مَكَانَكَ»، وَتَقَدَّمَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ آتِيَهُ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَهُ: «مَكَانَكَ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ»، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ - أَوْ قَالَ: الصَّوْتُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ؟ - قَالَ: «وَهَلْ سَمِعْتَ؟»، قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الجَنَّةَ "، قُلْتُ: وَإِنْ فَعَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»
