الترجمة الإنجليزية
Abu Hurayrah said to Damdam ibn Jaws al-Yamami: 'O Yamami, never say to a man: By Allah, Allah will never forgive you, or Allah will never admit you to Paradise.' I said: 'O Abu Hurayrah, this is something one of us says to his brother or companion when he is angry.' He said: 'Do not say it, for I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: There were two men among the Children of Israel who were close companions. One of them was diligent in worship and the other was sinful. The diligent one would constantly see the other committing sins and say: Desist! And the other would reply: Leave me with my Lord. Were you sent as a watcher over me? Until one day he saw him committing a sin that he considered enormous and said to him: Woe to you, desist! He said: Leave me with my Lord. Were you sent as a watcher over me? The diligent one said: By Allah, Allah will never forgive you — or: Allah will never admit you to Paradise. So Allah sent the Angel of Death to them, and their souls were taken. They gathered before Him. He said to the sinful one: Enter Paradise by My mercy. And He said to the other: Did you have knowledge of Me? Were you a guardian over what is in My hand? Take him to the Fire. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Abu al-Qasim, he spoke a single word that destroyed his worldly life and his Hereafter.'
