English Translation

Ahmad bin Ali bin al-Muthanna narrated to us. He said: Affan narrated to us. He said: Wuhayb narrated to us from Khalid from Abu Qilabah from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Mu'adh bin Jabal were riding behind him on the saddle. He said: "O Mu'adh!" He said: Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah, and may I be blessed. He said: "O Mu'adh!" He said: Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah, and may I be blessed - three times. He said: "There is no servant who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah sincerely from his heart except that Allah will forbid him from the Fire." He said: O Messenger of Allah, should I not inform the people so they may rejoice? He said: "Then they will rely upon it." So Mu'adh informed about it at the time of his death, fearing sin.
