ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يُثْنِي عَلَى مَنْ يُحِبُّهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِأَضْعَافِ عَمَلِهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, when Allah loves a servant, He praises him to the angels, saying: 'Look at my servant, how virtuous he is, even though he has not performed the good deeds that I will multiply for him seven times.' And when Allah is displeased with a servant, He criticizes him to the angels, saying: 'Look at my servant, how evil he is, even though he has not committed the sins that I will multiply against him seven times.'"  

ابن حبّان:٣٦٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَشِيطٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُقْرِئُ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا السَّمْحِ عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ عَبْدًا أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِسَبْعَةِ أَضْعَافٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا وَإِذَا سَخِطَ عَلَى عَبْدٍ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِسَبْعَةِ أَضْعَافٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا»
