I went out one night and there was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ walking alone, with no one accompanying him. I thought he preferred to walk by himself, so I began walking in the shadow of the moon. He turned and saw me, and asked, "Who is this?"I answered, "Abu Dharr, may Allah make me your ransom."He said, "Abu Dharr, come here."So I walked with him for a while, and he said, "Those who have much wealth will have little on the Day of Resurrection, except for one to whom Allah has given good and who spreads it to his right, his left, before him, and behind him, and who does good with it."Then I walked with him a while longer, and he said, "Sit here." He had me sit in a low place surrounded by stones, and said to me, "Sit here until I return to you."He set off into the lava field until I could no longer see him, and he was gone for a long while. Then I heard him approaching, saying, "Even if he steals, even if he commits adultery."When he came back I could not contain myself, so I said, "Prophet of Allah, may Allah make me your ransom, who were you speaking with on the side of the lava field? I did not hear anyone reply to you."He said, "That was Jibreel. He appeared to me on the side of the lava field and said, 'Give your community the good news that whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.' I asked, 'Jibreel, even if he steals and even if he commits adultery?' He said, 'Yes.' I asked again, 'Even if he steals and even if he commits adultery?' He said, 'Yes.' I asked a third time, 'Even if he steals and even if he commits adultery?' He said, 'Yes, even if he drinks wine.'"
و حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد حدثنا جرير عن عبد العزيز وهو ابن رفيع عن زيد بن وهب
خرجت ليلة من الليالي فإذا رسول الله ﷺ يمشي وحده ليس معه إنسان قال فظننت أنه يكره أن يمشي معه أحد قال فجعلت أمشي في ظل القمر فالتفت فرآني فقال من هذا فقلت أبو ذر جعلني الله فداءك قال يا أبا ذر تعاله قال فمشيت معه ساعة فقال إن المكثرين هم المقلون يوم القيامة إلا من أعطاه الله خيرا فنفح فيه يمينه وشماله وبين يديه ووراءه وعمل فيه خيرا قال فمشيت معه ساعة فقال اجلس ها هنا قال فأجلسني في قاع حوله حجارة فقال لي اجلس ها هنا حتى أرجع إليك قال فانطلق في الحرة حتى لا أراه فلبث عني فأطال اللبث ثم إني سمعته وهو مقبل وهو يقول وإن سرق وإن زنى قال فلما جاء لم أصبر فقلت يا نبي الله جعلني الله فداءك من تكلم في جانب الحرة ما سمعت أحدا يرجع إليك شيئا قال ذاك جبريل عرض لي في جانب الحرة فقال بشر أمتك أنه من مات لا يشرك بالله شيئا دخل الجنة فقلت يا جبريل وإن سرق وإن زنى قال نعم قال قلت وإن سرق وإن زنى قال نعم قال قلت وإن سرق وإن زنى قال نعم وإن شرب الخمر
