حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُبَارَكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَفْضَلُ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ، وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ، احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ، وَلَا تَعْجِزْ، فَإِنْ غَلَبَكَ أَمْرٌ فَقُلْ قَدَّرَ اللهُ وَمَا شَاءَ صَنَعَ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَاللَّوَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّوْ يَفْتَحُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ

✧ The strong believer is better, more virtuous, and more beloved to Allah [mighty and sublime be He] than the weak believer, though there is good in each. Strive for what benefits you, and do not be helpless. If something overwhelms you, then say: “Allah has decreed, and what He wills He does.” Beware of “if only,” for “if only” opens the way for Satan.

هذه الطريقعبد الله بن إدريس عن ربيعة بن عثمان فقال عن محمد بن يحيى بن حبان عن الأعرج أصح طرق هذا الحديث
machine translationThis route—ʿAbdullāh b. Idrīs, from Rabīʿah b. ʿUthmān, who said: from Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā b. Ḥabbān, from al-Aʿraj—is the soundest of the routes of this hadith.

يرويه محمد بن عجلان واختلف عنه فرواه ابن عيينة عن ابن عجلان عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة قال ذلك نعيم بن يعقوب عنه وخالفه الحميدي فرواه عنه عن ابن عجلان عن رجل من آل أبي ربيعة عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة ورواه ابن المبارك عن ابن عجلان عن ربيعة عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة وهو ربيعة بن عثمان ورواه عبد الله بن إدريس فضبط إسناده وجوده رواه عن ربيعة بن عثمان عن محمد بن يحيى بن حبان عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة وهو الصحيح
machine translationMuḥammad b. ʿAjlān narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated it from Ibn ʿAjlān, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah; Naʿīm b. Yaʿqūb said that from him. Al-Ḥumaydī disagreed with him and narrated it from him, from Ibn ʿAjlān, from a man of the family of Abū Rabīʿah, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah. Ibn al-Mubārak narrated it from Ibn ʿAjlān, from Rabīʿah, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah, and he is Rabīʿah b. ʿUthmān. ʿAbdullāh b. Idrīs narrated it, preserving its chain precisely and excellently: from Rabīʿah b. ʿUthmān, from Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā b. Ḥabbān, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah, and this is the correct one.
