حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا سَلَّامٌ أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَابَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ:

أَثْنَى قَوْمٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا فِي الثَّنَاءِ فِي خِلَالِ الْخَيْرِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: كَيْفَ عَقْلُ الرَّجُلِ ؟، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، نُخْبِرُكَ عَنِ اجْتِهَادِهِ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ، وَأَصْنَافِ الْخَيْرِ، وَتَسْأَلُنَا عَنْ عَقْلِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ الْأَحْمَقَ يُصِيبُ بِحُمْقِهِ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ فُجُورِ الْفَاجِرِ، وَإِنَّمَا يُرْفَعُ الْعِبَادُ غَدًا فِي الدَّرَجَاتِ، وَيَنَالُونَ الزُّلْفَى مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ عَلَى قَدْرِ عُقُولِهِمْ

✧ A people praised a man in the presence of the Messenger of God ﷺ until they went far in praising him for the attributes of good. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: How is the man's intellect? They said: O Messenger of God, we tell you about his diligence in worship and the kinds of good, and you ask us about his intellect! The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Indeed the fool, by his foolishness, hits upon something greater than the immorality of the immoral. Servants will be raised tomorrow in ranks and attain nearness to their Lord according to the measure of their intellects.
