A clean heart goes to Jannah 💙

📌Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) says:
“We were sitting with Nabi ﷺ when he said: “A man who is from the inmates of Jannah is about to arrive.”
Soon thereafter, a Sahabi came in, with his shoes in his left hand & the water of wudu dripping from his beard. When the gathering ended, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn ‘As (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) followed this person [with the motive of learning the reason for him being blessed with such a glad tiding]

He said to him: “I have taken an oath that I will not go home for 3⃣ days. Is it possible for you to accommodate me for this time?” The Sahabi agreed. Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr stayed with him for 3⃣ days, but noticed nothing extraordinary in his routine. i.e, he never engaged in additional voluntary deeds as expected.

🔎 However, whenever this Sahabi (radiyallahu ‘anhu) would go to bed at night, he would recite some form of dhikr, then sleep till fajr. Furthermore, during these 3⃣ days he did not hear him utter any word besides good.

👉🏽 Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) says: ‘After 3⃣ nights I almost deemed his deeds as ‘nothing so special’. I approached him and explained that my real motive for staying with him was to discover the special act that he may be engaging in, which warranted his guarantee of Jannah.’ Then I asked him: ‘How did You achieve such a rank?’ He said: ‘I have no special deeds beside whatever You have seen during your stay.’ I accepted this and was about to leave when he exclaimed: ‘O, Yes! there is something.
✅ I do not harbor any evil or malice in my heart against any fellow Muslim. I am not jealous over whatever good Allah bestows upon any of them.’ Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) said:
👌🏽 ‘That is precisely the reason for you reaching such a lofty status. 👌🏽
(Musnad Ahmad & Nasai. Also see: Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Surah: 59, Ayah: 9)

🕋 Let’s earn our Place in Jannah too by emptying our hearts of ill-feelings/malice/jealousy etc towards others.
Failure to do so is more harmful to ourselves, instead of anyone else…‼
