Belief in Allah and Good Works

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that if one sincerely believes in Allah and His Messenger, they will be safeguarded from Hell. However, it is important to not rely on this belief alone and continue to do good works.

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Mu'adh bin Jabal was riding on the beast with the Prophet , when he said to him, "O Mu'adh!" Mu'adh replied, "Here I am responding to you, and at your pleasure, O Messenger of Allah". He again called out, "O Mu'adh". He (again) replied, "Here I am responding your call, and at your pleasure". He (Messenger of Allah) addressed him (again), "O Mu'adh!" He replied, "Here I am responding to you, and at your pleasure, O Messenger of Allah". Upon this he (the Prophet ) said, "If anyone testifies sincerely that there is no true god except Allah, and Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, truly from his heart, Allah will safeguard him from Hell". He (Mu'adh) said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not then inform people of it, so that they may have glad tidings". He replied, "Then they will rely on it alone (and thus give up good works altogether)". Mu'adh (May Allah be pleased with him) disclosed this Hadith at the time of his death, to avoid sinning for concealing. Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of believing in Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad ﷺ. It tells us that if we sincerely believe in them with our hearts, then we will be safeguarded from Hell. However, it also warns us against relying on this belief alone as a way of avoiding sinning; instead we should continue to do good works as well. The hadith also mentions Mu'adh bin Jabal who was riding with the Prophet ﷺ when he heard this teaching. He was so excited by what he heard that he wanted to share it with others so they could have glad tidings too! But the Prophet ﷺ warned him against doing so because people might rely on their faith alone without doing any good deeds at all.
