Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:10410a حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ ثنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ ثنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْأَفْرِيقِيُّ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ مَاتَ وَهُوَ يَجْعَلُ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا جَعَلَهُ اللهُ فِي النَّارِ»
English Translation
'Abdullah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah looks at the hearts of the servants. He found the heart of Muhammad (peace be upon him) to be the best of hearts, so He chose him for Himself and sent him with His message. Then He looked at the hearts of the servants after Muhammad and found the hearts of his Companions to be the best of hearts, so He made them ministers of His Prophet, fighting for His religion. So whatever the Muslims consider good is good in the sight of Allah, and whatever the Muslims consider evil is evil in the sight of Allah."
