Hadith No. 89

Al Kulayni has narrated from various learned people on the authority of Ahmen ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid, on the authority of Uthman ibn Isa, on the authority of Umar ibn Uzaynah, on the authority of Aban ibn Abi Ayyash, on the authority of Sulaym ibn Qays Hilali, on the authority of Amirul Mumineen (AS).

He said: “The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “Surely Allah has made Paradise forbidden for one who openly does bad deeds, who is a bad and a shameless person, and does not care about what he says and what is said about him. Surely if you look, you will not find anything in him except he is either useless or Shaytan was present at his birth.”

So he was asked: “O Messenger of Allah, are there people among people with whom Shaytan was present?” The Messenger (SAW) said: “Have you not read the saying of Allah (SWT) ‘and share with them in wealth and children, and hold out promises to them’ (Surah Israa: 64)

He was asked: “Are there people who do not care about what they say and what is said about them?” He replied: “Yes, a person comes to people and says something about people, and he knows that these people will not leave him. Then he is that person who does not care what he says and what is said about him.”
