Chapter 2 · Beliefتَفَاضُلِ أَهْلِ الإِيمَانِ فِي الأَعْمَالِ
The people of faith differ in rank in their deeds
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يَدْخُلُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَخْرِجُوا مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ. فَيُخْرَجُونَ مِنْهَا قَدِ اسْوَدُّوا فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِي نَهَرِ الْحَيَا ـ أَوِ الْحَيَاةِ، شَكَّ مَالِكٌ ـ فَيَنْبُتُونَ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحِبَّةُ فِي جَانِبِ السَّيْلِ، أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهَا تَخْرُجُ صَفْرَاءَ مُلْتَوِيَةً ".

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، رضى الله عنه ـ
Translation
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: The Prophet ﷺ said: “The people of Paradise will enter Paradise and the people of the Fire the Fire. Then Allah the Exalted will say: ‘Bring out whoever had in his heart faith (iman) the weight of a mustard seed.’ So they will be brought out of it, already blackened, and cast into the river of rain – or of life; Malik was unsure – and they will sprout as a seed sprouts at the edge of a torrent. Have you not seen that it comes out yellow and twisted?”
Translator’s note: Malik is Malik ibn Anas, one of the narrators of this hadith; he was unsure whether al-haya (rain) or al-hayat (life) was said.

Abu Sa'id al-Chudri berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „Die Bewohner des Paradieses gehen ins Paradies ein und die Bewohner des Feuers ins Feuer. Dann sagt Allah, der Erhabene: ‚Holt heraus, wer im Herzen Glauben im Gewicht eines Senfkorns hatte.‘ Da werden sie daraus herausgeholt, schon schwarz geworden, und in den Fluss des Regens – oder des Lebens, Malik war sich unsicher – geworfen. Dann sprießen sie, wie das Samenkorn am Rand des Sturzbachs sprießt. Hast du nicht gesehen, dass es gelb und gewunden hervorkommt?“
Translator’s note: Malik ist Malik ibn Anas, einer der Überlieferer dieses Hadith; er war unsicher, ob al-haya (Regen) oder al-hayat (Leben) gesagt wurde.
Türkçe
Ebû Saîd el-Hudrî (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Cennet ehli cennete, cehennem ehli de cehenneme girer. Sonra Allah Teâlâ: ‘Kalbinde hardal tanesi ağırlığınca iman bulunanı çıkarın!’ buyurur. Onlar oradan kapkara kesilmiş olarak çıkarılır ve yağmur – ya da hayat; Mâlik şüphe etti – nehrine atılırlar. Sel kenarında tohumun bitmesi gibi biterler. Görmez misin, o sapsarı ve kıvrılmış olarak çıkar.”
Translator’s note: Mâlik, bu hadisin râvilerinden Mâlik b. Enes'tir; “hayâ” (yağmur) mı yoksa “hayât” (hayat) mı denildiğinde şüphe etmiştir.
