Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha from Abu Murra, the mawla of Aqil ibn Abi Talib from Abu Waqid al-Laythi that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the mosque with some people when three people came in. Two came toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and one went away. When the two stopped at the assembly of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ they gave the greeting. One of them saw a gap in the circle and sat in it. The other sat down behind the circle. The third turned away and left. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, he said, "Shall I tell you about three people? One of them sought shelter with Allah, so Allah gave him shelter. The other was shy, so Allah was shy to him. The other turned away, so Allah turned away from him."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَالنَّاسُ مَعَهُ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ نَفَرٌ ثَلاَثَةٌ فَأَقْبَلَ اثْنَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَذَهَبَ وَاحِدٌ فَلَمَّا وَقَفَا عَلَى مَجْلِسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَلَّمَا فَأَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَرَأَى فُرْجَةً فِي الْحَلْقَةِ فَجَلَسَ فِيهَا وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَجَلَسَ خَلْفَهُمْ وَأَمَّا الثَّالِثُ فَأَدْبَرَ ذَاهِبًا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنِ النَّفَرِ الثَّلاَثَةِ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمْ فَأَوَى إِلَى اللَّهِ فَآوَاهُ اللَّهُ وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَاسْتَحْيَا فَاسْتَحْيَا اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَأَعْرَضَ فَأَعْرَضَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ  

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a gathering, three people came. As for one man, he found a space in the gathering and sat in it. As for the second man, he sat behind the gathering. As for the third man, he left. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Shall I inform you about these three? As for the one who sat in the gathering, he is a man who sought refuge and Allah provided him with refuge. As for the one who sat behind the gathering, he is a man who felt shy and Allah felt shy from him. As for the one who turned away, Allah turned away from him."  

بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَلْقَةٍ إِذْ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ فأَمَّا رَجُلٌ فَوَجَدَ فُرْجَةً فِي الْحَلْقَةِ فَقَعَدَ فِيهَا وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَقَعَدَ خَلْفَ الْحَلْقَةِ وَأَمَّا رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَمَضَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنِ الثَّلَاثَةِ؟ أَمَّا الَّذِي جَلَسَ فِي الْحَلْقَةِ فَرَجُلٌ أَوَى فَآوَاهُ اللهُ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي جَلَسَ خَلْفَ الْحَلْقَةِ فَرَجُلٌ اسْتَحْيَى فَاسْتَحْيَى اللهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي أَعْرَضَ فَأَعْرَضَ اللهُ عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , three individuals passed by him. One of them found an opening in the circle and sat down, and the other came and sat behind them. The third person left. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I inform you about these individuals?" They replied, "Yes." He said, "As for the one who came and sat down, he is a man who sought refuge, so Allah provided him refuge. And as for the one who sat behind you, he felt ashamed, so Allah felt ashamed of him. And as for the one who left, he turned away, so Allah turned away from him."  

قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ فَجَاءَ أَحَدُهُمْ فَوَجَدَ فُرْجَةً فِي حَلْقَةٍ فَجَلَسَ وَجَاءَ الْآخَرُ فَجَلَسَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ وَانْطَلَقَ الثَّالِثُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَبَرِ هَؤُلَاءِ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ «أَمَّا الَّذِي جَاءَ فَجَلَسَ فَعَبْدٌ أَوَى فَآوَاهُ اللهُ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي جَلَسَ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ فَاسْتَحْيَا فَاسْتَحْيَا اللهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي انْطَلَقَ فَرَجُلٌ أَعْرَضَ فَأَعْرَضَ اللهُ عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting with his companions, three people came. One of them found an empty space in the circle, so he sat down. Another person sat behind the circle, and the third person walked away. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Shall I inform you about these three individuals? As for the person who sat in the circle, he is a man who sought refuge and Allah sheltered him. As for the person who sat behind the circle, he was shy and Allah was shy from him. And as for the person who walked away, he turned away and Allah turned away from him."  

بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ إِذْ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ فَأَمَّا رَجُلٌ فَوَجَدَ فُرْجَةً فِي الْحَلْقَةِ فَجَلَسَ وَأَمَّا رَجُلٌ فَجَلَسَ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ خَلْفَ الْحَلْقَةِ وَأَمَّا رَجُلٌ فَانْطَلَقَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرِ أَمَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي جَلَسَ فِي الْحَلْقَةِ فَرَجُلٌ أَوَى فَآوَاهُ اللهُ وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي جَلَسَ خَلْفَ الْحَلْقَةِ فَاسْتَحْيَى فَاسْتَحْيَى اللهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي انْطَلَقَ فَرَجُلٌ أَعْرَضَ فَأَعْرَضَ اللهُ عَنْهُ
