THE MUSHRIK: A MERCY FOR THE MUSLIM

'UMAR IBN 'ABDUL-'AZIZ REPORTED ON THE AUTHORITY OF HIS FATHER, MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH BOTH OF THEM, THAT THE PROPHET SALLALLAHU 'ALAYHI WASALLAM SAID, "WHENEVER A MUSLIM DIES, ALLAH CASTS A JEW OR A CHRISTIAN INTO THE FIRE IN HIS PLACE." (SAHIH MUSLIM, THE BOOK OF REPENTANCE, 17/85).

I WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THE KUFAR WERE GOOD FOR NOTHING UNTIL I CAME ACROSS THIS NARRATION. MASHA ALLAH FOR WE KNOW THAT THE BELOVED OF ALLAH SALLALLAHU 'ALAYHI WASALLAM DIDN'T SPEAK FROM DESIRES BUT ONLY FROM REVELATION.
