ahmad:23816Hāshim b. al-Qāsim > al-Faraj > Sulaymān b. Sulaym

[Machine] Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad said, "I do not judge a person as good or bad until I see what results from their actions, meaning after observing their behavior. Someone asked, "And what have you observed?" He replied, "I have heard the Prophet ﷺ saying that the heart of the son of Adam changes more swiftly than the boiling of a pot when anger is present."  

أحمد:٢٣٨١٦حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَرَجُ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ

قَالَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ لَا أَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ خَيْرًا وَلَا شَرًّا حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَا يُخْتَمُ لَهُ يَعْنِي بَعَدَ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قِيلَ وَمَا سَمِعْتَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَقَلْبُ ابْنِ آدَمَ أَشَدُّ انْقِلَابًا مِنَ الْقِدْرِ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَتْ غَلْيًا

[Machine] I do not speak of anyone as good or evil until I see the outcome of their actions after hearing what I have heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He asked, "And what have you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He replied, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The heart of the son of Adam is more inclined to fluctuation than anything else when it becomes heated.'"
