Minhaj as-SunnahIbn Taimiya

The Murji’ah say:

“His words, Most High,

‘Allah accepts only from the righteous.’

[Surah al-Mā’idah: 27]

refer to those who guard themselves against shirk (associating partners with Allah).”

They also say, “Deeds are nullified only by disbelief.” Allah Most High says:

“If you associate partners with Allah, your deeds will surely be rendered void.”

[Surah al-Zumar 65]

And He says:

“Whoever rejects faith, all their deeds will be void.”

[Surah al-Mā’idah: 5]

They also say, “Allah Most High has said:

‘Then We entrusted the Book to those of Our servants whom We chose. Some of them wrong themselves, some follow a middle course, and some, by Allah’s permission, are foremost in good deeds. That is truly the greatest bounty—the Gardens of Eternity, which they will enter.’

[Surah Fātir 32–33]”

Thus, He has stated that all three groups will enter Paradise. It has also been related from some of the extremist Murji’ah that no adherent of monotheism will enter the Fire. However, I do not know of any particular person who held this view such that I could attribute it to him. Some people attribute it (1) to Muqātil ibn Sulaymān, but it appears that this attribution to him is mistaken.

(1) N, M, W, and A read: “Who mentions him.”
وَتَقُولُ الْمُرْجِئَةُ: قَوْلُهُ - تَعَالَى -: {إِنَّمَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ} [سُورَةُ الْمَائِدَةِ: ٢٧] الْمُرَادُ بِهِ: مَنِ اتَّقَى الشِّرْكَ. وَيَقُولُونَ: الْأَعْمَالُ لَا تُحْبَطُ إِلَّا بِالْكُفْرِ، قَالَ تَعَالَى: {لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ} [سُورَةُ الزُّمَرِ ٦٥] وَقَالَ: {وَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالْإِيمَانِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ} [سُورَةُ الْمَائِدَةِ: ٥] . وَيَقُولُونَ: قَدْ قَالَ تَعَالَى: {ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيرُ - جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا} [سُورَةُ فَاطِرٍ ٣٢ - ٣٣] فَقَدْ أَخْبَرَ أَنَّ الثَّلَاثَةَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ. وَقَدْ حُكِيَ عَنْ بَعْضِ غُلَاةِ الْمُرْجِئَةِ أَنَّ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَهْلِ التَّوْحِيدِ لَا يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ. وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا لَا أَعْرِفُ بِهِ قَائِلًا مُعَيَّنًا فَأَحْكِيهِ عَنْهُ. وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَحْكِيهِ (١) عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَالظَّاهِرُ أَنَّهُ غَلَطٌ عَلَيْهِ.
(١) ن، م، و، أ: مَنْ يَذْكُرُهُ.
