abudawud:4942 – [Chain 1] Ḥafṣ b. ʿUmar [Chain 2] Ibn Kathīr > Shuʿbah > Katab Ila Manṣūr

I heard AbulQasim ﷺ who spoke the truth and whose word was verified say: Mercy is taken away only from him who is miserable.  

أبو داود:٤٩٤٢ – حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَىَّ مَنْصُورٌ قَالَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَقَرَأْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَقُلْتُ أَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ فَقَالَ

إِذَا قَرَأْتَهُ عَلَىَّ فَقَدْ حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهِ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ مَوْلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ الصَّادِقَ الْمَصْدُوقَ ﷺ صَاحِبَ هَذِهِ الْحُجْرَةِ يَقُولُ لاَ تُنْزَعُ الرَّحْمَةُ إِلاَّ مِنْ شَقِيٍّ

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān

ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الرَّحْمَةَ لَا تَكُونُ إِلَّا فِي السُّعَدَاءِ

ibnhibban:462 – Abū Khalīfah > Muḥammad b. Kathīr > Shuʿbah > Katab Ilay Manṣūr And Qaraʾtuh ʿAlayh > Lah Aqūl > Fqāl Alays Idhā Qaraʾtuh ʿAlay Faqad Ḥaddathtuk Bih > Abū ʿUthmān > Abū Hurayrah > Abū al-Qāsim ﷺ Wahū al-Ṣādiq al-Maṣdūq

[Machine] Manṣūr wrote to me and I read it to him, so I said to him, "Tell me." He said, "Isn't it when I read it to you, I have already told you?" I said, "I heard Abū 'Uthmān narrating from Abū Hurayrah, saying, 'I heard Abū al-Qāsim ﷺ , who is the truthful and trustworthy, saying, 'Indeed, mercy is not removed from anyone except for the miserable.'"  

ابن حبّان:٤٦٢ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ

كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ مَنْصُورٌ وَقَرَأْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي فقَالَ أَلَيْسَ إِذَا قَرَأْتُهُ عَلَيَّ فَقَدْ حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهِ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الرَّحْمَةَ لَا تُنْزَعُ إِلَّا مِنْ شَقِيٍّ»
