Hello all!
About 2 months ago a man asked me to study the science of the hadiths. So, on and off I have been studying it!
I guess there is a category of the hadiths called "Mutawatir", which are hadiths narrated by more then one person, so it is rare that they were made up and such.
So on al-islam.com(I think the saudi government site) there is a section with a list of these hadiths. One of them is this one..
So my question is: Is this an islamic belief, that as long as you have iman in allah you will eventually reach jannah? Or do some muslims go to eternal hell as well?
I have always thought that those who commit zina, and drink, and all other haram things, and did it KNOWING that they were sinning, and missing their prayers, would be in eternal hell in islam. But this hadith(to me at least, unless I have it wrong) seems to say that anyone with iman can go to jannah.
So I was just wondering about this, as I do not want to make any assumptions without asking muslims their views.
Thanks!

&'Ubadah bin Al-Samit, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) observed: He who says: There is no god but Allah, He is One and there is no associate with Him, that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger, that Christ is His servant and the son of His female-slave and he (Christ) is His word which He communicated to Mary and is a spirit from Him, that Paradise is a fact and Hell is a fact, Allah would make him enter Paradise through anyone of its eight doors which he would like.

So what these two nice hadiths seem to intend, is that anyone muslim can go to heaven, even if they do sin and such.Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) addressed Mu'adh bin Jabal as he was riding behind him: O Mu'adh. He replied: At your beck and call, and at your pleasure, Messenger of Allah. He again called out: Mu'adh, to which he (again) replied: At your beck and call, and at your pleasure. He (the Holy Prophet) addressed him (again): Mu'adh, to which he replied: At your beck and call, and at your pleasure, Messenger of Allah. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) observed: If anyone testifies (sincerely from his heart) that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His bondsman and His messenger, Allah immunizes him from Hell. He then added: I asked the Messenger of Allah: should I then give the tiding to the people? He the Holy Prophet said: Do not tell them this good news, for they would depend on this alone.
