English Translation

Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Abd al-Malik ibn Zanjuyah narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Firyabi narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Abu Salih, from Hadrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be well pleased with him) who stated: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated: «No one's deeds will save him.» They asked: 'Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?' He stated: «Not even me, except that Allah covers me with His mercy and grace. If He were to take me and Isa ibn Maryam to account for these two» — and he pointed to his index and middle fingers — «He would destroy us.»
