Question

Where does the following statement appear?

Sahl ibn ‘Abdillah (rahimahullah) said: “Salvation lies in three things: eating what is lawful, fulfilling the obligatory duties, and following the example of the Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).”

 

Answer

‘Allamah Qurtubi (rahimahullah) has cited this as the statement of Sahl ibn ‘Abdillah At Tustari (rahimahullah).

Sahl ibn ‘Abdillah At Tustari (rahimahullah) said: “Salvation lies in three things; Consuming halal, fulfilling the obligatory duties and following Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).”

(Tafsir Qurtubi, Surah Baqarah, Verse: 168)

Imam Abu Nu’aym (rahimahullah) has recorded a longer version with variation in the wording.

(Hilyatul Awliya, vol. 10, pg. 190)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
