٧۔ كِتَابُ الرَّقَائِقِ
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ حُسْنَ الظَّنِّ لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْعِبَادَةِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Having good thoughts about others is part of worshipping well."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «حُسْنُ الظَّنِّ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْعِبَادَةِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ حُسْنَ الظَّنِّ بِالْمَعْبُودِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَدْ يَنْفَعُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، لِمَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَيْرَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Two men will come out of the Fire, and they will be presented to Allah. Then, they will be commanded to enter the Fire, but one of them will turn and say, 'O Lord, what is this to me? It was my hope that You would not return me to it.' Allah will say, 'What was your hope?' The man will say, 'My hope was that when You took me out of it, You would not return me to it.' So Allah will have mercy on him and admit him into Paradise."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَخْرُجُ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ النَّارِ فَيُعْرَضَانِ عَلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُؤْمَرُ بِهِمَا إِلَى النَّارِ فَيَلْتَفِتُ أَحَدُهُمَا فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا كَانَ هَذَا رَجَائِي قَالَ وَمَا كَانَ رَجَاؤُكَ؟ قَالَ كَانَ رَجَائِي إِذْ أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنْهَا أَنْ لَا تُعِيدَنِي فَيَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنَ الثِّقَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا بِحُسْنِ الظَّنِّ فِي أَحْوَالِهِ بِهِ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Allah the Exalted said, 'I am as My servant thinks I am. So let him think of Me as he wishes.'"
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي فَلْيَظُنَّ بِي مَا شَاءَ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ مُجَانَبَةِ سُوءِ الظَّنِّ بِاللَّهِ ﷻ، وَإِنْ كَثُرَتْ حَيَاتُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ talking about Allah Almighty, saying, "I am as My servant thinks I am, so let him think of Me as he wishes."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي فَلْيَظُنَّ بِي مَا شَاءَ»
ذِكْرُ إِعْطَاءِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْعَبْدَ الْمُسْلِمَ مَا أَمَّلَ وَرَجَا مِنَ اللَّهِ ﷻ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying about Allah, the Majestic and Exalted, "I am as My servant thinks of Me, so let him think of Me however he wishes."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي فَلْيَظُنَّ بِي مَا شَاءَ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمُسْلِمِ بِحُسْنِ الظَّنِّ بِمَعْبُودِهِ مَعَ قِلَّةِ التَّقْصِيرِ فِي الطَّاعَاتِ
I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying three days before his death: None of you should court death but only hoping good from Allah (Using translation from Muslim 2877a)
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِثَلَاثٍ «لَا يَمُوتَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُحْسِنُ بِاللَّهِ الظَّنَّ»
ذِكْرُ الْحَثِّ عَلَى حُسْنِ الظَّنِّ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ
[Machine] "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying three things before his death: 'Whoever among you can, should die with the belief that Allah is good, let him do so.'"
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِثَلَاثٍ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ لَا يَمُوتَ إِلَّا وَظَنُّهُ بِاللَّهِ حَسَنٌ فَلْيَفْعَلْ»
ذِكْرُ حَثِّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ عَلَى حُسْنِ الظَّنِّ بِمَعْبُودِهِمْ جَلَّ وَعَلَا
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say three days before his death: No one of you dies but he had good faith in Allah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3113)
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِثَلَاثٍ «لَا يَمُوتَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُحْسِنُ الظَّنَّ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يُعْطِي مَنْ ظَنَّ مَا ظَنَّ إِنْ خَيْرًا فَخَيْرٌ، وَإِنْ شَرًّا فَشَرٌّ
[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "Indeed, Allah, the Exalted and Sublime, says, 'I am as My servant thinks of Me. If he thinks good of Me, he will have it. And if he thinks evil of Me, he will have it.'"
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يَقُولُ أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي إِنْ ظَنَّ خَيْرًا فَلَهُ وَإِنْ ظَنَّ شَرًّا فَلَهُ»
One who fears his Lord, He instills security in him on Judgement Day
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ حُسْنَ الظَّنِّ الَّذِي وَصَفْنَاهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَقْرُونًا بِالْخَوْفِ مِنْهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا
from the Prophet ﷺ narrating from his Lord ﷻ who said, "By My Might, I neither combine two fears within My servant nor two securities. If he is fearful of Me in this world, I secure him on the Day of Judgement, and if he feels secure from Me in this world, I instill fear in him on the Day of Judgement.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْوِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «وَعِزَّتِي لَا أَجْمَعُ عَلَى عَبْدِي خَوْفَيْنِ وَأَمْنَيْنِ: إِذَا خَافَنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا أَمَّنْتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَإِذَا أَمِنَنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا أَخَفْتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ۔»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ بِالْمَعْبُودِ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ ظَنِّهِ، وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ بِهِ الظَّنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Allah, the Most High, says: 'I am as my servant thinks of Me. If he thinks good of Me, he will have it, and if he thinks ill of Me, he will have it'."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي إِنْ ظَنَّ خَيْرًا وَإِنْ ظَنَّ شَرًّا»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ تَفَضُّلِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا بِأَنْوَاعِ النِّعَمِ عَلَى مَنْ يَسْتَوْجِبُ مِنْهُ أَنْوَاعَ النِّقَمِ
Abdullah b. Qais reported from Messenger of Allah ﷺ that none is more forbearing in listening to the most irksome things than Allah, the Exalted. They associate rivals with him, attribute sonhood to Him, but in spite of this He provides them sustenance, grants them safety, confers upon them so many things. (Using translation from Muslim 2804c)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَحَدٌ أَصْبَرَ عَلَى أَذًى يَسْمَعُهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ يَجْعَلُونَ لَهُ نِدًّا وَيَجْعَلُونَ لَهُ وَلَدًا وَهُوَ فِي ذَلِكَ يَرْزُقُهُمْ وَيُعَافِيهِمْ وَيُعْطِيهِمْ»
