وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ، ثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، ثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ تَمْنَعُ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَا لَمْ يُؤْثِرُوا دُنْيَاهُمْ عَلَى دِينِهِمْ، فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: كَذَبْتُمْ

✧ "There is no god but Allah" protects from the wrath of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, as long as they do not prefer their worldly life over their religion. But if they do that and then say, "There is no god but Allah," Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will say: "You lie."
