أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْغَلَابِيُّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ، حدثنا الْأَصْمَعِيُّ
قَالَ: قَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ وَرَآهُ عَلَى مَعْصِيَةٍ قَالَ: " وَيْلكَ مَا تُحِبُّ اللهَ؟ " قَالَ: بَلَى، قَالَ: وَهَلْ رَأَيْتَ مُحِبًّا إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَتَوَخَّى سُرُورَ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ، إِنَّ مَنْ خَافَ أَنْ يُسْأَلَ عَنِ الشُّكْرِ طَابَ نَفْسًا عَنِ النِّعَمِ "

He said: A Bedouin said, having seen him in disobedience: "Woe to you, do you not love God?" He said: "Indeed I do." He said: "And have you ever seen a lover except that he seeks the pleasure of the one he loves? Whoever fears being asked about gratitude becomes content to let go of blessings."
