أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ حَيَّانَ أَبِي النَّضْرِ قَالَ

خَرَجْتُ عَائِدًا لِيَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ فَلَقِيتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ عِيَادَتَهُ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى وَاثِلَةَ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ وَجَعَلَ يُشِيرُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَ وَاثِلَةُ حَتَّى جَلَسَ فَأَخَذَ يَزِيدُ بِكَفَّيْ وَاثِلَةَ فَجَعَلَهُمَا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فقَالَ لَهُ وَاثِلَةُ كَيْفَ ظَنُّكَ بِاللَّهِ؟ قَالَ ظَنِّي بِاللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ حَسَنٌ قَالَ فَأَبْشِرْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي إِنْ ظَنَّ خَيْرًا وَإِنْ ظَنَّ شَرًّا»

✧ I went out to visit Yazid b. al-Aswad, and I met Wathilah b. al-Asqaʿ who also wanted to visit him. We entered upon him, and when he saw Wathilah, he stretched out his hand and gestured toward him. Wathilah came forward until he sat down. Yazid took Wathilah’s palms and placed them on his face. Wathilah said to him: “How do you think of Allah?” He said: “By Allah, my thought of Allah is good.” He said: “Then rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: I am as My servant thinks of Me, whether he thinks good or thinks evil.’”
