أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ مَوْلَی آلِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَکُنْ لَهُ کُفُوًا أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَبَتْ فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْجَنَّةُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 999
It was narrated that ‘Ubaid bin Hunain, the freed slave of the family of Zaid bin Al-Khattab, said: “I heard Abu Hurairah say: ‘I came back (from a journey) with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he heard a man reciting ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One, Allah-us-Samad (the Self-Sufficient Master). He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none equal or comparable unto Him.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘It is guaranteed.’ We asked him: ‘What, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم?’ He said: ‘Paradise.”(Hasan)
