In some hadiths, there are statements that may seem contradictory to others, such as Hadiths number 5 and 6 on page 24 of the Book of Monotheism and other hadiths. They state that those who do not associate partners with Allah are guaranteed entry into Paradise and that their bodies are forbidden from the Fire. However, there may be a person who is a monotheist, does not associate partners with Allah, but commits sins such as adultery or theft or other prohibitions. What is the answer?

Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.
To clarify, the reconciliation of the narrations, as mentioned in many discussions, indicates that what determines a person's fate regarding enjoying Paradise or being punished in Hell is their actions. Therefore, piety is the measure, as stated explicitly in the verses of the Quran.
"And We have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted."
The essence is that those who walk on the straight path have a greater capacity for guidance than others.
We have elaborated on this in detail when discussing the narrations that indicate that a Shia who is loyal to our master Ali (peace be upon him) is safe from the Fire at the hands of the Most Merciful.
Therefore, we hope you will review the answer, as it clarifies the matter and removes any confusion.
May you remain under the protection of Allah.
