[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted permission regarding a certain matter, but some men showed disinterest in it. He asked, "What is the matter with the men whom I have given the command? They seem to be uninterested. By Allah, I know them best among you and also fear Allah the most."  

أحمد:٢٥٤٨٢ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ الْأَمْرِ فَرَغِبَ عَنْهُ رِجَالٌ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ آمُرُهُمُ الْأَمْرَ يَرْغَبُونَ عَنْهُ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِاللهِ ﷻ وَأَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ خَشْيَةً
