Hadith 17
Characteristics of the Day of Judgment, Paradise, and Hell
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
There is none whose deeds alone can'secure salvation for him. They said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , not even you? Thereupon he said: Not even I, but that, the Mercy of Allah should take hold of me.
حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُنْجِيهِ عَمَلُهُ " . قَالُوا وَلاَ أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " وَلاَ أَنَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَدَارَكَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ " .
