Abu Dharr reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, what will save a servant from the Hellfire?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Faith in Allah.” I said, “O Prophet of Allah, what deeds must accompany faith?” The Prophet said, “He should give in charity from what he has been provided.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, what if he is poor and he does not find anything to give in charity?” The Prophet said, “He should enjoin good and forbid evil.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, what if he is unable to enjoin good and forbid evil?” The Prophet said, “He should work for the needy.” I said, “What is he himself is needy and unable to work?” The Prophet said, “He should support the oppressed.” I said, “What if he is weak and unable to support the oppressed?” The Prophet said, “You do not want your companion to be deprived of goodness. Let him refrain from harming people.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, will he enter Paradise if he does that?” The Prophet said, “No Muslim acts upon one of these qualities but that it will take him by the hand to enter Paradise.”

عن أبي ذر قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا يُنَجِّي الْعَبْدَ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ الإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مَعَ الإِيمَانِ عَمَلٌ قَالَ يُرْضَخُ مِمَّا رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ فَقِيرًا لا يَجِدُ مَا يُرْضَخُ بِهِ قَالَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَيِيًّا لا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلا يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ قَالَ يَصْنَعُ لأَخْرَقَ قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ أَخْرَقَ لا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ شَيْئًا قَالَ يُعِينُ مَغْلُوبًا قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا لا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُعِينَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَالَ مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَتْرُكَ فِي صَاحِبِكَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تُمْسِكُ الأَذَى عَنِ النَّاسِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَفْعَلُ خَصْلَةً مِنْ هَؤُلاءِ إِلا أَخَذَتْ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى تُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ
