2346. ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Husayn ibn Muhammad narrated to us; al-Mubarak narrated to us, from al-Hasan, who said:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “A servant may commit a sin, and it is that very sin through which Allah admits him to Paradise.” They asked, “O Messenger of Allah, how can a sin lead him to Paradise?” He replied, “It remains constantly before his eyes, so he keeps fleeing from it and repenting until that sin itself ushers him into Paradise.”
