حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ قَوْقَلٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلاَلَ أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Kurayb narrated to us—and the wording is Abu Kurayb's. They both said: Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Abu Sufyan, from Jabir, who said: al-Nu'man ibn Qawqal came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, what do you think: if I perform the prescribed prayer, treat the forbidden as forbidden, and regard the lawful as lawful, will I enter Paradise?’ The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Yes.’
