Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2757b
This version of the fear of Allah hadith keeps the same main report but adds wording detail. It explains the phrase about not finding good with Allah as meaning, “I find no good in store for me in the sight of Allah.” That small wording helps the reader see the man’s state more clearly. He was not boasting about himself. He saw himself as empty of saving merit and feared Allah’s punishment. Since this narration is mainly a wording variation, its message should be kept close to the text: it supports the report about a man whose fear of Allah was the reason he gave when questioned. It is useful for searches like Sahih Muslim 2757b explanation and hadith about no good stored with Allah.
