قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ، وَالْمُلَائِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ ؓ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ، فَقَرَأَ: لَيْسَ الْبِرَّ أَنْ تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: لَيْسَ عَنِ الْبِرِّ سَأَلْتُكَ، قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ ؓ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الَّذِي سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْهُ، فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَمَا قَرَأْتُ عَلَيْكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الَّذِي قُلْتَ لِي، فَلَمَّا أَبَى أَنْ يَرْضَى، قَالَ لَهُ: ادْنُ، فَدَنَا، قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا عَمِلَ الْحَسَنَةَ سَرَّتْهُ، وَرَجَا ثَوَابَهَا، وَإِذَا عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً سَاءَتْهُ، وَخَافَ عِقَابَهَا

✧ A man came to Abu Dharr ؓ and asked him about faith. He recited: 'It is not righteousness that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah' until His saying, Exalted is He: 'Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.' The man said: 'I did not ask you about righteousness.' Abu Dharr ؓ said: 'A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about what you asked me. The Prophet ﷺ recited to him what I recited to you, and he said to him what you said to me. When he refused to be satisfied, he said to him: 'Come closer.' He came closer. He said: 'Indeed, when a believer does a good deed, it pleases him and he hopes for its reward; and when he does an evil deed, it grieves him and he fears its punishment.'
