“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has narrated this Hadith. ‘Once, companions of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, asked a question. “O Messenger of Allah, we pray to Allah to keep our souls and the souls of ancestors in service for your cause;

أَهْلُ الْمَعْرُوفِ فِي الدُّنْيَا هُمْ أَهْلُ الْمَعْرُوفِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ إِنَّ ذُنُوبَكُمْ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ لَكُمْ فَهِبُوا حَسَنَاتِكُمْ لِمَنْ شِئْتُمْ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that providers of Benevolent Assistance will be as such on the Day of Judgment also. They will receive the news, ‘Your sins are all forgiven. You may give away your good deeds as gifts to whomever you like.”’

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ أَهْلُ الْمَعْرُوفِ فِي الدُّنْيَا هُمْ‌ أَهْلُ الْمَعْرُوفِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَهْلُ الْمُنْكَرِ فِي الدُّنْيَا هُمْ أَهْلُ الْمُنْكَرِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ.

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “Providers of Benevolent Assistance will be as such on the Day of Judgment also. People of wickedness will be as such on the Day of Judgment as well.’””

إِنَّ لِلْجَنَّةِ بَاباً يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمَعْرُوفُ لَا يَدْخُلُهُ إِلَّا أَهْلُ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَ أَهْلُ الْمَعْرُوفِ فِي الدُّنْيَا هُمْ أَهْلُ الْمَعْرُوفِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that in paradise there is a gate called the Gate of Benevolent Assistance. No one can enter through this gate except providers of Benevolent Assistance. Providers of Benevolent Assistance will also be as such on the Day of Judgment.”
