What is the explanation of the Hadith of Jibreel from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: "Whoever dies from your Ummah not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise," and the Prophet's question: "Even if he committed illegal sexual intercourse and even if he stole?" and Jibreel's answer: "Even if he did"?
The Hadith in question was narrated by Al-Bukhari from Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Jibreel said to me: “Whoever among your Ummah dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise, or will not enter Hell.” He said: “Even if he committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?” He said: “Even if he committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft.” This Hadith is evidence that the destiny of a monotheist is Paradise. If a person who commits a major sin dies persistent in it, then he is under Allah's will. If Allah wills, He may forgive him and admit him into Paradise first, and if He wills, He may punish him in Hellfire and then admit him into Paradise.
