ahmad-zuhd:966ʿAbdullāh > Hārūn b. ʿAbdullāh > Sayyār b. Jaʿfar > Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] "And Allah says to him, 'Do you know, O My servant?' So he says, 'Yes, O Lord, I know.' He says, 'Have you acknowledged it?' He says, 'Yes, indeed, O Lord, I have acknowledged it.' So Allah says to him, 'Verily, I have accepted it from you.' So he falls down prostrate before Allah. Then Allah says to him, 'Raise your head, O son of Adam, and count it in your book.' So he passes by the sin and his face turns black, and his heart fears from it. So Allah says to him, 'Do you know, O My servant?' He says, 'Yes, O Lord, I know.' He says, 'Indeed, I have forgiven it for you.' So his good deeds continue to be accepted and he prostrates for his sins to be forgiven, and the creation does not see from him except prostration. It is said to the creation, 'Congratulations to this servant who has never disobeyed Allah.' He says, 'And they do not know what he has encountered between him and Allah of what he has been through.'"  

الزهد لأحمد:٩٦٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ يُدْنِي اللَّهُ الْعَبْدَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ فَيَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ الْخَلَائِقِ كُلِّهَا وَيَدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ كِتَابَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ السِّتْرِ فَيَقُولُ اقْرَأْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ كِتَابَكَ قَالَ فَيَمُرُّ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَيَبْيَضُّ وَجْهُهُ وَيُسَرُّ بِهَا قَلْبُهُ قَالَ

فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ لَهُ تَعْرِفُ يَا عَبْدِي فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ أَيْ رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ فَإِنِّي تَقَبَّلْتُهَا مِنْكَ قَالَ فَيَخِرُّ لِلَّهِ سَاجِدًا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ وَعُدْ فِي كِتَابِكَ قَالَ فَيَمُرُّ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَيَسْوَدُّ وَجْهُهُ وَيَوْجَلُ مِنْهَا قَلْبُهُ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ أَتَعْرِفُ يَا عَبْدِي؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ يَا رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُهَا لَكَ قَالَ فَلَا يَزَالُ حَسَنَةٌ تُقْبَلُ فَيَسْجُدُ وَسَيِّئَةٌ تُغْفَرُ فَيَسْجُدُ وَلَا يَرَى الْخَلَائِقُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا السُّجُودَ قَالَ حَتَّى يُنَادِيَ الْخَلَائِقُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا طُوبَى لِهَذَا الْعَبْدِ لَمْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ قَطُّ قَالَ وَلَا يَدْرُونَ مَا قَدْ لَقِيَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ مِمَّا قَدْ وَقَفَهُ عَلَيْهِ
