Hajj Paves Way to Paradise

by Warrick Farah

Hajj Paves Way to Paradise: "Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The performance of `Umrah is expiation for the sins committed between it and the previous ones. And the reward for Hajj Mabrur (pilgrimage accepted by Allah) is nothing but Paradise." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 3, Book 27, hadith no. 1)"

I want to look up the Arabic word for "expiation" in this verse- does anyone know of a good online Hadith viewer that shows Arabic-English?

Just kidding. From here, but you can get collections for your computer or phone as well.

Volume 7, Book 70, Number 577:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The good deeds of any person will not make him enter Paradise." (i.e., None can enter Paradise through his good deeds.) They (the Prophet's companions) said, 'Not even you, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, "Not even myself, unless Allah bestows His favor and mercy on me."

Do you know how to use the site (specifically how to navigate it) or find this specific verse in arabic? Thanks so much!; November 19, 2009 at 10:41 PM

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

You cannot go by volume, book, number. Rather, look for the name of the book instead of the number as they are often in different orders. I found your Hadith in another online collection of Al-Bukhari in English in Book 70... at your recommendation. Then looked at the name of the book "Patients." Then found the corresponding book on the website linked above "كتاب المرضى" and found the particular one there.

Abu Daoud said...: That word kafaara is a Biblical word, incidentally. It is also a cognate of the Hebrew (Kipur), thus yom kipur = yawm kafaara = day of atonement. Also in the Anglican liturgy in Arabic when the priest is celebrating the eucharist he says, "one holy, perfect, atoning sacrifice..." and kafaara is the word used for atonement.; December 1, 2009 at 1:17 PM
