أَنَسُ بْنُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ، عَنِ ابْنَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

[Machine] Abu said that his father narrated to him that he mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ regarding his contemplation on His statement: "We are equal, whether we are patient or if we show fear, there is for us no escape." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The people of the Fire will say, 'Come let us be patient!' So they will be patient for five hundred years, but when they see that there is no benefit in it, they will say, 'Come let us show fear!' So they will show fear for five hundred years, but when they see that there is no benefit in it, they will say, 'We are equal, whether we are patient or if we show fear, there is for us no escape.'"

عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا أَحْسَبُ فِي قَوْلِهِ {سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَحِيصٍ} قَالَ يَقُولُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ هَلُمُّوا فَلْنَصْبِرْ قَالَ فَصَبَرُوا خَمْسَ مِائَةِ عَامٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ لَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ قَالُوا هَلُمُّوا فَلْنَجْزَعْ قَالَ فَيَبْكُونَ خَمْسَمِائَةِ عَامٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَنْفَعُهُمْ قَالُوا {سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَحِيصٍ}
