حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ وَدَاعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
« إِنَّ لِلهِ تَعَالَى خَوَاصَّ يُسْكِنُهُمُ الرَّفِيعَ مِنَ الْجِنَانِ كَانُوا أَعْقَلَ النَّاسِ ». قَالَ: هُمُ الَّذِينَ تَهُمُّهُمُ الْمُسَابَقَةُ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ وَالْمُسَارَعَةُ إِلَى مَا يُرْضِيهِ، زَهِدُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَفُضُولِهَا وَرِئَاسَتِهَا وَهَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَصَبَرُوا قَلِيلًا وَاسْتَرَاحُوا طَوِيلًا

✧ “Indeed, Allah, the Exalted, has special servants whom He will lodge in the highest gardens; they were the most intelligent of people.” He said: “They are those whose concern is to race to their Lord and hasten to what pleases Him. They renounce the world, its excesses, and its leadership, and it becomes insignificant to them. So they endure a little and rest for a long time.”
