حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي السَّائِبِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حَيَّانُ أَبُو النَّضْرِ قَالَ
دَخَلْتُ مَعَ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ عَلَى أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الْجُرَشِيِّ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَلَسَ. قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ يَمِينَ وَاثِلَةَ فَمَسَحَ بِهَا عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ وَوَجْهِهِ لِبَيْعَتِهِ بِهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ. فَقَالَ لَهُ وَاثِلَةُ: وَاحِدَةٌ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهَا، قَالَ: وَمَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ: كَيْفَ ظَنُّكَ بِرَبِّكَ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ: وَأَشَارَ بِرَأْسِهِ أَيْ حَسَنٌ، قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ: أَبْشِرْ؛ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي، فَلْيَظُنَّ بِي مَا شَاءَ

✧ I entered with Wathila b. al-Asqaʿ upon Abu al-Aswad al-Jurashi during the illness in which he died. He greeted him and sat down. He said: Abu al-Aswad took Wathila's right hand and wiped it over his eyes and face because of the oath of allegiance he had sworn to the Messenger of God ﷺ with it. Wathila said to him, 'One thing I ask you about.' He said, 'What is it?' He said, 'What is your expectation of your Lord?' He said: Abu al-Aswad said, and gestured with his head, meaning 'good.' Wathila said, 'Rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: God, Mighty and Majestic, said: I am as My servant expects Me to be, so let him expect of Me whatever he wishes.'
