حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ بُکَيْرٍ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَنْ يُنْجِيَ أَحَدًا مِنْکُمْ عَمَلُهُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ وَلَا إِيَّاکَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلَا إِيَّايَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ وَلَکِنْ سَدِّدُوا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7111
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: None amongst you would attain salvation purely because of his deeds. A person said: Allah's Messenger, even you? Thereupon he said: Yes, not even I except that Allah wraps me in Mercy, but you should act with moderation.
