Narrated Abu Dhar: While I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ in the Harra of Medina; Uhud came in sight. The Prophet ﷺ said; O Abu Dhar! I said; Labbaik; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! He said; I would not like to have gold equal to this mountain of Uhud; unless nothing of it; not even a single Dinar of it remains with me for more than three days; except something which I will keep for repaying debts. I would have spent all of it distributed it amongst Allah Slaves like this; and like this; and like this. The Prophet ﷺ pointed out with his hand towards his right; his left and his back while illustrating it. He proceeded with his walk and said; The rich are in fact the poor little rewarded on the Day of Resurrection except those who spend their wealth like this; and like this; and like this; to their right; left and back; but such people are few in number. Then he said to me; Stay at your place and do not leave it till I come back. Then he proceeded in the darkness of the night till he went out of sight; and then I heard a loud voice; and was afraid that something might have happened to the Prophet ﷺ.1 intended to go to him; but I remembered what he had said to me; i.e. Dont leave your place till I come back to you; so I remained at my place till he came back to me. I said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! I heard a voice and I was afraid. So I mentioned the whole story to him. He said; Did you hear it? I replied; Yes. He said; It was Gabriel who came to me and said; Whoever died without joining others in worship with Allah; will enter Paradise. I asked Gabriel ; Even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse? Gabriel said; Yes; even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse.
