أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ تَمِيمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ
يَضْحَكُ اللهُ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ رَجُلٍ لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ مِنْ أَمْثَلِ خَيْلِ أَصْحَابِهِ فَانْهَزَمُوا وَثَبَتَ فَإِنَّ قُتِلَ اسْتُشْهِدَ وَإِنْ بَقِيَ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَضْحَكُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ وَرَجُلٍ قَامَ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ لَا يَعْلَمُ بِهِ أَحَدٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَأَسْبَغَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ حَمِدَ اللهَ وَمَجَّدَهُ وَصَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَاسْتَفْتَحَ الْقُرْآنَ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَضْحَكُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ يَقُولُ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي قَائِمًا لَا يَرَاهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي

✧ Allah laughs at two men: a man who meets the enemy while mounted on one of the best horses of his companions, and they flee while he stands firm. If he is killed, he is a martyr, and if he remains, that is the one at whom Allah laughs. And a man who stands in the middle of the night, no one knowing of him, performs ablution and does it thoroughly, then praises Allah, glorifies Him, sends blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ, and begins reciting the Qur'an. That is the one at whom Allah laughs, saying: 'Look at My servant, standing while no one sees him except Me.'
