Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلٌ الْأَحْدَبُ عَنْ مَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَوْ قَالَ فَبَشَّرَنِي شَكَّ مَهْدِيٌّ أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ.
English Translation
Affan told us: Mahdi told us: Wasil al-Ahdab told us, from Ma'rur ibn Suwayd, from Abu Dharr, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: I heard him say: "One who comes to me from my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, came to me and informed me" - or he said "gave me glad tidings" - Mahdi was unsure - "that whoever dies from my nation not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise." I said: Even if he committed fornication and even if he stole? He said: "Even if he committed fornication and even if he stole."
