Hadith: Abu Dhar Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi ﷺ said: Whenever a slave of Allah said La ilaha illallah and died believing in it, he surely entered Paradise. I asked: Even if he had fornicated and even if he had stolen? He replied: Even if he had fornicated and even if he had stolen. I again asked: Even if he had fornicated and even if he had stolen? He repeated: Even if he had fornicated and even if he had stolen. I asked (the third time): Even if he had fornicated and even if he had stolen? He emphasized: Even if he had fornicated and even if he had stolen, despite your disapproval O Abu Dhar! (Bukhari: 5827)
Note: Abu Dhar Radiyallahu 'anhu was surprised that despite such major sins, how could a man enter Paradise while justice demanded that he should be subjected to punishment. Hence, Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said emphatically to remove his astonishment that despite the disapproval of Abu Dhar, the man will enter Paradise, implying that even though he may have done sins, but because of his Iman he will turn with repentance and get his sins forgiven; or Allah will out of His Infinite Mercy, forgive him and send him to Paradise without any punishment or after a punishment. In any case, He will eventually send him to Paradise. (Ma'ariful Hadith)
