حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْأَحْوَصِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«لَا يَزَالُ اللَّهُ مُقْبِلًا عَلَى الْعَبْدِ مَا لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ فَإِذَا صَرَفَ وَجْهَهُ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ»

أبو الأحوص هذا لا يعرف اسمه وهو مولى بني ليث وقيل مولى بنى غفار لم يرو عنه غير الزهري قال يحيى بن معين ليس بشيء وقال الكرابيسي ليس بالمتين عندهم قال النووي في الخلاصة هو فيه جهالة لكن الحديث لم يضعفه أبو داود فهو حسن عنده
