Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آكِلَ الرِّبَا وَمُوكِلَهُ وَشَاهِدَيْهِ وَكَاتِبَهُ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'There is no servant who says La ilaha illallah (There is no deity except Allah), then dies upon that, except that he will enter Paradise.' I (Abu Dharr) said: 'Even if he commits adultery and even if he steals?' He said: 'Even if he commits adultery and even if he steals.' I said: 'Even if he commits adultery and even if he steals?' He said: 'Even if he commits adultery and even if he steals — in spite of Abu Dharr.'
