Does reciting Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer mean entering Paradise without reckoning for a Muslim who has not committed major sins or has repented from them, based on the hadith: "Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except death"?
The "Whoever recites Ayatul-Kursi after every obligatory prayer, nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise except death" is a hadith, authenticated by Ibn Hibban and Al-Albani. The meaning of "nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise except death" is that death is the only barrier to his entry into Paradise, and it does not necessarily imply absence of accountability. The hadith may also indicate his entry into Paradise immediately after the resurrection, without delay. It is sufficient for a Muslim to comply with the texts of encouragement and deterrence, for if he succeeds, Allah's grace is vast, and whoever is removed from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has indeed triumphed.
