Hadith of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (RA)

حديث أبي ذر الغفاري رضي الله عنه

Hadith 937:169

Yazid narrated to us, Muhammad ibn ‘Amr narrated to us, from ‘Arak ibn Malik, who said: Abu Dharr said: "I am the closest of you to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on the Day of Resurrection. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say: 'Indeed, the closest of you to me on the Day of Resurrection is the one who departed from the world in the same state as he was when I left him.'" And by Allah, there is not one among you except that he has clung to something of it, except for me.

حدثنا يزيد، حدثنا محمد بن عمرو، عن عراك بن مالك، قال: قال أبو ذر: إني لأقربكم يوم القيامة من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، إني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: "إن أقربكم مني يوم القيامة من خرج من الدنيا كهيئته يوم تركته عليه " وإنه والله ما منكم من أحد إلا وقد تشبث منها بشيء غيري
