[Machine] So we heard the roar of the lion, so we ran away while he was standing praying, he did not leave. So we said to him, "Aren't you afraid of the lion?" He said, "I am shy of my Lord, blessed and exalted, to fear anyone other than Him."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٠٥٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَنْبَأَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْمَلِيحِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلًى لِعَمْرِو بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَالَ اسْتَيْقَظْنَا يَوْمًا فِي سَاعَةٍ حَارَّةٍ فَطَلَبْنَا عَمْرَو بْنَ عُتْبَةَ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ فِي جَبَلٍ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ وَغَمَامَةٌ تُظِلُّهُ وَكُنَّا نَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْغَزْوِ فَلَا نَتَحَارَسُ لِكَثْرَةِ صَلَاتِهِ وَرَأَيْتُهُ لَيْلَةً يُصَلِّي

فَسَمِعْنَا زَئِيرَ الْأَسَدِ فَهَرَبْنَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي لَمْ يَنْصَرِفْ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ أَمَا خِفْتَ الْأَسَدَ؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَسْتَحِي مِنْ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنْ أَخَافَ أَحَدًا سِوَاهُ»
