Sahih Muslim 28b

Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، فِي هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ بِمِثْلِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ‏"‏ مِنْ أَىِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ شَاءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Dawraqi narrated to me; Mubashshir ibn Isma'il narrated to us, from al-Awza'i, from Umayr ibn Hani, with this chain and a similar report, except that he said: ‘Allah will admit him into Paradise, whatever his deeds may be.’ He did not mention, ‘through whichever of the eight gates of Paradise He wills.’

Translation notes
  • أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ

    This version states that admission to Paradise follows whatever deeds he had, while omitting the eight-gates wording in the other report; the precise relation between these variants is not resolved here.

    Can a qualified reviewer assess how this variant should be contextualized alongside the other wording, without merging them?
