Question

Can these words be quoted?

«لو تعلمون قدر رحمة الله تعالى لاتكلتم»

 

Answer

Imam Bazzar (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id al Khudri (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “If you knew the [vast] Mercy of Allah you would rely on it [and not carry out too many good deeds].”

(Musnad Bazzar; Kashful Astar, Hadith: 3256)

‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared the chain sound (hasan). The Hadith is also corroborated.

(Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 10, pg. 213 and pg. 383-384, Hadith: 17562 and 18501, Husnus Dhann Billah of Imam Ibn Abid Dunya: 63)

This narration should not be used to justify sinning. Rather, it should be used to give a sinner hope. Other versions of this narration further state, “And if you knew the extent of His Anger, [you would think that] no [good deeds] will be of any benefit.”

(Husnus Dhann Billah of Imam Ibn Abid Dunya: 63)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

A believer lives between two conditions: 1) Hope in Allah, and 2) Fear of Allah. Each one should be in due proportion.
