Al-Adab Al-Mufrad — Hadith #47305

Muadh bin Fadalah told us, on the authority of Hisham, on the authority of Hammad, on the authority of Zayd bin Wahb, on the authority of Abu Dharr, who said: So the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, set off towards Al-Baqi’. I went off to follow him, and he turned and saw me and said: O Abu Dharr. So I said: At your service, O Messenger of God, and I am pleased with you, and I am your ransom. He said: Indeed, those who multiply will be the few who will be few on the Day of Resurrection, except for those who say thus and so in truth. I said: God and His Messenger know best. He said: Like this three times, then someone came to us and said: O Abu Dharr, so I said: May God bless you, Messenger of God, and may I be your honour, and I may sacrifice your life. He said: What? I am pleased that someone brought gold to the family of Muhammad, and in the evening they had a dinar, or he said: a mithqal. Then a valley was shown to us, so we inferred, and I thought that he had I needed something, so I sat on the edge, and he slowed down on me. He said: I was afraid for him, then I heard him as if he was talking to a man, then he came out to me alone, So I said: O Messenger of God, who is the man with whom you were conversing? He said: Did you hear him? I said: Yes, he said: For it was Gabriel who came to me. So he gave me good news that whoever of my nation dies not associating anything with God will enter Paradise. I said: Even if he commits adultery or steals? He said: Yes.
