عن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
«مَنْ لَقِيَ اللهَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ دَخَلَ النَّارَ».

[صحيح] - [رواه مسلم] - [صحيح مسلم: 93]

Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) say:
"Whoever meets Allah without associating partners with Him will enter Paradise, and whoever meets Him while associating partners with Him will enter Hellfire."

[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Muslim] - [Sahih Muslim - 93]

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) says that whoever dies while not associating anything as a partner with Allah will end up in Paradise, even if he is punished for some of his sins; and that whoever dies while associating anything as a partner with Allah will abide in Hellfire forever.

Benefits from the Hadith

  2. Paradise and Hellfire are close to people, and only death separates them.
  3. It warns against polytheism, little or much, for salvation from Hellfire is attained by avoiding it.
  4. What matters in one's deeds is how they end up.
