bayhaqi:5906 – Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad al-Dūrī > ʿUbaydullāh b. Mūsá > Abān al-ʿAṭṭār > Yaḥyá b. Abū Kathīr > Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalḥah > Abū Murrah > Abū Wāqid al-Laythī

[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."  

البيهقي:٥٩٠٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا أَبَانُ الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ قَالَ

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  

أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبَانَ الْعَطَّارِ وَرَوَاهُ حَرْبُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ فَقَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَلْقَةٍ

[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."
