English translation

5673. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه I heard Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ saying, “The good deeds of any person will not make him enter Paradise.” (i.e., None can enter Paradise through his good deeds). They (the Prophet’s Companions) said, “Not even you, O Allāh’s Messenger?” He said, “Not even I, unless Allāh bestows His Favour and Mercy on me.” So be moderate in your religious deeds and do the deeds that are within your ability; and none of you should wish for death, for if he is a gooddoer, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evildoer, he may repent to Allāh.”

Arabic text

5673 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَنْ يُدْخِلَ أَحَدًا عَمَلُهُ الجَنَّةَ» قَالُوا: وَلاَ أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: " لاَ، وَلاَ أَنَا، إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِي اللَّهُ بِفَضْلٍ وَرَحْمَةٍ، فَسَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا، وَلاَ يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ المَوْتَ: إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَزْدَادَ خَيْرًا، وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَ "
