I heard Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said, "Not even I, unless Allâh bestows His Favour and Mercy on me. So be moderate in your religious deeds and do the deeds that are within your ability; and none of you should wish for death, for if he is a good-doer, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil-doer, he may repent to Allâh. [7:577-O.B]
