Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ لَا يَشْهَدُ عَبْدٌ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَفَلَا أُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ قَالَ لَا إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَتَّكِلُوا عَلَيْهِ.
English Translation
Bahz told us, Hammam told us, Qatadah told us, from Anas: that Mu'adh ibn Jabal told him that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: O Mu'adh ibn Jabal. He said: Here I am, O Messenger of Allah, and at your service. He said: No servant bears witness that there is no god but Allah, then dies upon that, except that he enters Paradise. He said: I said: Shall I not tell the people? He said: No, I fear they would come to rely on it alone.
