أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْحَرْمَلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ، - أَظُنُّ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ -، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ،
قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَلَغَهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ شِدَّةُ عِبَادَةٍ سَأَلَ كَيْفَ عَقْلُهُ؟، فَإِذَا قَالُوا: حَسَنٌ قَالَ: " أَرْجُوهُ ". وَإِذَا قَالُوا غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: " لَنْ يَبْلُغُ صَاحِبُكُمْ حَيْثُ تَظُنُّونَ ". قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: " تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ الْجزريُّ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ "

He said: When news reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of a man's intense devotion, he would ask, "How is his intellect?" If they said, "Good," he would say: "I have hope for him." And if they said otherwise, he would say: "Your companion will not reach where you think." The Shaykh said: "Marwān b. Sālim al-Jazarī was alone in transmitting it, and he is weak (ḍaʿīf)."
