ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا وَضَعَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْحَرَجِ عَنِ الْوَاجِدِ فِي نَفْسِهِ مَا لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَنْطِقَ بِهِ

[Machine] "A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we find within ourselves things that we do not like to speak about, and we have thoughts that the sun rises upon.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Have you really found that?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'That is clear faith.'"  

ابن حبّان:١٤٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا أَشْيَاءَ مَا نُحِبُّ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَا وَإِنَّ لَنَا مَا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «قَدْ وَجَدْتُمْ ذَلِكَ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «ذَاكَ صَرِيحُ الْإِيمَانِ»
