[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "Indeed, one of you may speak about something he dislikes about himself, while he possesses what is on the earth. That is purely faith."  

أحمد:٩٨٧٦ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ابْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا يُحَدِّثُ نَفْسَهُ بِالشَّيْءِ مَا يُحِبُّ أَنَّهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ وَإِنَّ لَهُ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قَالَ ذَاكَ مَحْضُ الْإِيمَانِ

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān

ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ أَوْهَمَ مَنْ لَمْ يَتَفَقَّهْ فِي صَحِيحِ الْآثَارِ، وَلَا أَمْعَنَ فِي مَعَانِي الْأَخْبَارِ أَنَّ وُجُودَ مَا ذَكَرْنَا هُوَ مَحْضُ الْإِيمَانِ

ibnhibban:146 – Abū ʿArūbah Biḥarrān > Muḥammad b. Bashhār > Ibn Abū ʿAdī > Shuʿbah > ʿĀṣim Ibn Bahdalah > Abū Ṣāliḥ

[Machine] On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, he said: "They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we find within ourselves something that it is more beloved to us than speaking about it.' He said, 'That is the pure essence of faith.'"  

ابن حبّان:١٤٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَرُوبَةَ بِحَرَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ ابْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا شَيْئًا لَأَنْ يَكُونَ أَحَدُنَا حُمَمَةً أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ قَالَ «ذَاكَ مَحْضُ الْإِيمَانِ»
