حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ عَفَّانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ عَنِ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
عَجِبَ رَبُّنَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ: رَجُلٍ ثَارَ عَنْ وِطَائِهِ وَلِحَافِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَهْلِهِ وَحَيِّهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ، فَيَقُولُ رَبُّنَا: أَيَا مَلَائِكَتِي انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي ثَارَ مِنْ فِرَاشِهِ وَوِطَائِهِ، وَمِنْ بَيْنِ حَيِّهِ وَأَهْلِهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي. وَرَجُلٌ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَانْهَزَمُوا فَعَلِمَ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْفِرَارِ وَمَا لَهُ فِي الرُّجُوعِ، فَرَجَعَ حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي. فَيَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي رَجَعَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي، وَرَهْبَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ.

✧ Our Lord, Mighty and Majestic, marvels at two men: a man who rises from his bed and blanket, leaving his family and clan, to go to his prayer. Then our Lord says: 'O My angels, look at My servant: he rose from his bed and blanket, leaving his clan and family, to go to his prayer, out of desire for what is with Me and out of fear of what is with Me.' And a man who fights in the way of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, then they flee, and he knows what is upon him for fleeing and what is his in returning, so he returns until his blood is shed, out of desire for what is with Me and out of fear of what is with Me. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says to His angels: 'Look at My servant: he returned out of desire for what is with Me and out of fear of what is with Me, until his blood was shed.'
