Question

What is authenticity of following narration?

ثلاثة كلهم ضامن على الله، إن عاش رزق وكفي، وإن مات أدخله الله الجنة: من دخل بيته فسلم، فهو ضامن على الله، ومن خرج إلى المسجد، فهو ضامن على الله، ومن خرج في سبيل الله فهو ضامن على الله

 

Answer

Imam Ibn Hibban (rahimahullah) has declared this version authentic.

(Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 499)

 

Imam Abu Dawud and Imam Hakim (rahimahumallah) have recorded a slightly different version. See this version here.

 

Translation

There are three people who are in the security/care of Allah Ta’ala. While alive, they are provided sustenance and their needs taken care of and when they pass away, Allah Ta’ala will grant them entry into Jannah; The person who enters his home and makes salam [greets] is in the care of Allah Ta’ala, the one who goes to the Masjid is in the security of Allah Ta’ala and the one who goes out in the path of Allah is in the security of Allah Ta’ala.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
