قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ:
إِنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ حُرَيْثٍ عَادَ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: أَتَعُودُ الْحَسَنَ وَفِي نَفْسِكَ مَا فِيهَا ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمْرٌو: لَسْتَ بِرَبِّي تَصْرِفُ قَلْبِي حَيْثُ شِئْتَ، قَالَ: أَمَّا ذَاكَ فَلَا يَمْنَعُنَا أَنْ نُؤَدِّيَ إِلَيْكَ النَّصِيحَةَ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ ﷺ يَقُولُ: « مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ عَادَ أَخَاهُ إِلَّا ابْتَعَثَ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ

✧ 'Amr b. Hurayth visited al-Hasan b. 'Ali ؓ. 'Ali ؓ said to him: “Do you visit al-Hasan while your heart holds what it holds?” 'Amr said: “You are not my Lord to turn my heart wherever you wish.” He said: “That does not prevent us from giving you sincere advice. I heard the Messenger ﷺ say: ‘No Muslim visits his brother but God Most High sends seventy thousand angels for him.’”
