English Translation

Muhammad ibn Abi Adiyy told us, from al-Hajjaj — namely Ibn Abi Uthman — Humayd ibn Hilal told me, Hissan ibn al-Kahin al-Adawi told us, who said: I sat in a gathering in which was Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah, and I did not know him. He said: Mu'adh ibn Jabal told us: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There is no soul on earth that dies, not associating anything with Allah, bearing witness that I am the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him — that testimony returning to a sincere heart — except that it is forgiven. He said: I said: Did you hear this from Mu'adh ibn Jabal yourself? He said: The people reproached me, and he said: Leave him, he has not spoken wrongly. Yes, I heard it from Mu'adh, who claimed he heard it from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Ibn Abi Adiyy told us, from Habib ibn al-Shahid, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Hissan ibn al-Kahin, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah, from Mu'adh, similarly, in the same wording.
