Hadith Hazrat Ubadah bin As-Samit (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: e Messenger of Allah image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH) said, He who bears witness that there is no true god except Allah, alone having no partner with Him, that Muhammad image001.jpg [SAWW] is His slave and His Messenger, that `Isa (Jesus) is His slave and Messenger and he (Jesus) is His Word which He communicated to Maryam (Mary) and His spirit which He sent to her, that Jannah is true and Hell is true; Allah will make him enter Jannah accepting whatever deeds he accomplished. [Muslim Book 01, Chapter 11, Hadith # 043]. Another narration in Muslim is: e Messenger of Allah image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH) said, Whosoever testifies that there is no true god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah image001.jpg, Allah (SWT) saves him from the Fire (of Hell). Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Qasas Ayat 64. “Call upon your (so-called) partners (of Allah), and they will call upon them, but they will give no answer to them” This Hadith confirms that all Prophets of Allah were men and thus refutes those who attribute divinity to them and exclude them from the category of men or regard them a part of Allah, as Christians believes Prophet `Isa (Jesus to be Christ) by regarding him Allah or His son, or the Jews do Prophet `Uzair by venerating him as son of Allah. The misconception has also taken hold of a sect of the Muslims. They have invented the belief that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is Light from the Light of Allah. Thus further considering being of him with Divine qualities. They exclude him from the category of men. This Hadith tells us that the belief that Prophets were men constitutes part of Faith and denial of it is the denial of a part of Faith and amounts to evasion from Tauhid - Oneness of Allah. Prophet `Isa (Jesus) has been referred in the Quran as Kalimatullah (the Word of Allah) (4:171). What these words really mean is that he was born in an unusual manner, without being fathered by anyone, only on the express fiat of Allah. This Hadith shows that a major sin does not cast a Muslim out of the fold of Islam, as is believed by certain deviant sects who have gone astray. Such a person does remain a Muslim and his eligibility for admission into Jannah also remains intact but his admission entirely depends on the pleasure of Allah. He may forgive a sinful Muslim and send him to Jannah even in the initial stage or keep him in Hell for some time and then send him to Jannah. Thus, when it is said that Muslims are protected against Hell, it means that they will not abide in Hell for ever. It will be a temporary phase varying with his sins. When that punishment comes to an end, or even before it, when Almighty, Allah, wills, he will be removed from Hell to Jannah. Reported by Anas bin Malik (raziallahu anhu): Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “Among the inmates of Hell, a person who had led the most luxurious life in this world will be brought up on the Day of Resurrection and dipped in the Fire and will be asked: `O son of Adam! Did you ever experience any comfort? Did you happen to get any luxury?’ He will reply: `By Allah, no, my Rubb.’ And then one of the people of Jannah who had experienced extreme misery in the life of this world will be dipped in Jannah. Then he will be asked: `O son of Adam! Did you ever experience any misery? Did you ever encounter difficulty?’ He will say: “By Allah, no my Rubb, I neither experienced misery nor passed through hardship”. [Muslim] Riyad us Saliheen, Chapter 55, 462
