Silsilat al-Ahadith al-SahihahNasir al-Din al-Albani

I say: This is astonishing on his part! Both men are among the narrators cited by al-Bukhari in al-Adab al-Mufrad and by Abu Dawud. The first was declared reliable by a number of scholars, including Ibn Ma‘in; and regarding the other, you have learned who declared him reliable and that he was truthful.

In al-Durr al-Manthur (5/79), he attributed the hadith to Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Mardawayh.

It indicates Allah’s bounty and mercy toward whichever of His servants He wills, whose evil deeds He will change into good deeds on the Day of Resurrection, as in the preceding hadith. And Allah knows best. *

The Hadith of Intercession and Its Inclusion of Muslims Who Abandon Prayer

3054—“When the believers have been delivered from the Fire and are safe—[by Him in Whose hand is my soul!]—none of you will plead more earnestly on behalf of his companion for a right due to him in this world than the believers will plead with their Lord for their brethren who were admitted into the Fire.” He said: “They will say, ‘Our Lord, our brethren used to pray with us, fast with us, perform Hajj with us, [and strive in jihad with us], yet You have admitted them into the Fire.’ He will say, ‘Go and bring out whomever among them you recognize.’ They will come to them and recognize them by their appearances. The Fire will not consume their forms; [it will not cover the face]. Some of them will have been reached by the Fire up to the middle of their shins, and others up to their ankles (1). [They will bring many people out of it.] Then they will say, ‘Our Lord, we have brought out those whom You commanded us to bring out.’ He said: Then [they will return and speak, then] He will say, ‘Bring out whoever has in his heart the weight of a dinar of faith.’ [They will bring out]

(1) The base text reads: “his two palms.” In the margin: “In Muslim: ‘his two knees.’” I say: the correct reading is that found in Musnad Ahmad, al-Nasai, and Ibn Majah. In al-Bukhari it reads: “his two feet.” Muslim’s version is narrated through Suwayd ibn Said, whose reliability has been questioned.

قلت: وهذا منه عجيب! فإنهما من رجال البخاري في "الأدب المفرد" ورجال أبي داود، والأول وثقه جمع، منهم ابن معين، والآخر عرفت من وثقه وأنه صدوق. والحديث عزاه في "الدر المنثور" (٥/٧٩) لابن أبي حاتم وابن مردويه. وفيه إشارة إلى فضل الله ﷿ ورحمته بمن يشاء من عباده الذين يبدل يوم القيامة سيئاتهم حسنات؛ كما في الحديث الذي قبله. والله أعلم. * حديثُ الشفاعة وأنَّها تشملُ تاركي الصلاةِ منَ المسلمين ٣٠٥٤- (إذا خَلصَ المؤمنونَ من النار وأَمِنُوا؛ فـ[والذي نفسي بيده!] ما مُجَادَلَةُ أحَدِكُم لصاحبِهِ في الحقِّ يكون له في الدنيا بأشدِّ من مجادلة المؤمنين لربِّهم في إخوانِهِمُ الذين أُدْخِلُوا النار. قال: يقولون: ربَّنا:! إخوانُنَا كانوا يصلُّون معنا؛ ويصومون , معنا؛ ويحُجُّون معنا؛ [ويُجاهدون معنا] ؛ فأدخلتَهم النار. قال: فيقولُ: اذهَبُوا فأخرِجُوا من عَرَفْتُم منهم؛ فيأتُونهم؛ فَيَعْرفونَهُم بِصُورِهم؛ لا تأكلُ النار صُوَرَهُم؛ [لم تَغْشَ الوَجْهَ] ؛ فَمِنْهم من أَخَذتْهُ النارُ إلى أنصافِ ساقَيْهِ؛ ومنهم من أخذته إلى كَعْبَيْه (١) [فَيُخرِجُونَ مِنْها بشراً كثيراً] ؛ فيقولون: ربَّنا! قد أَخْرَجنا مَنْ أَمَرتنا. قال: ثم [يَعُودون فيتكلمون فـ] يقولُ: أَخْرِجُوا من كان في قلبهِ مِثقالُ دينارٍ من الإيمانِ. [فيُخرِجُون]
