Riyad as-Salihin, 414
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
A bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, what are the two imperatives which lead to Jannah or Hell". He (ﷺ) replied, "He who dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Jannah, and he who dies associating partners with Allah will enter the Fire". <b>[Muslim]</b>
وعن جابر قَالَ : جاء أعرابي إِلَى النَّبيّ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُول الله ، مَا الموجِبَتَانِ ؟ قَالَ : « مَنْ مَاتَ لا يُشْرِكُ بالله شَيئاً دَخَلَ الجَنَّةَ ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً دَخَلَ النَّار » . رواه مسلم .

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Genuine Tawhid (belief in Allah alone without associating any partners with Him) prevents one from abiding eternally in Hellfire, and it is a means for admission into Paradise.<br>
2) Polytheism (associating partners with Allah) prevents one from entering Paradise, and it is the greatest means for admission into Hellfire and abiding eternally therein.
