Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ وَمَا يَرَى أَنَّهَا تَبْلُغُ حَيْثُ بَلَغَتْ يَهْوِي بِهَا فِي النَّارِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'There were two brothers among the Children of Israel, one of them was a sinner and the other was devout. The devout one continued advising his brother: Desist! One day, he found him committing a sin and said: Desist! The sinner said: Leave me alone and my Lord — were you sent to watch over me? The devout one said: By Allah, Allah will not forgive you! Allah took both their souls, and they met before the Lord of the worlds. He said to the devout one: Were you knowledgeable about Me or had power over what is in My Hand? He said to the sinner: Go and enter Paradise by My mercy. And He said regarding the other: Take him to the Fire.'
