أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، أَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ نَبِيطٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ كَعْبٍ:
" إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَدَارًا مِنْ دُرَّةٍ أَوْ لُؤْلُؤَةٍ، فَوْقَهَا لُؤْلُؤَةٌ، فِيهَا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ قَصْرٍ، فِي كُلِّ قَصْرٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ دَارٍ، فِي كُلِّ دَارٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ بَيْتٍ، لَا يَنْزِلُهَا إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ، أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ، أَوْ شَهِيدٌ، أَوْ إِمَامٌ عَادِلٌ، أَوْ رَجُلٌ مُحَكَّمٌ فِي نَفْسِهِ " قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَقُلْتُ لِعُبَيْدٍ: وَمَا الرَّجُلُ الْمُحَكَّمُ فِي نَفْسِهِ؟ قَالَ: الرَّجُلُ يَطْلُبُ الْحَرَامَ مِنَ الْمَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ، فَيعْرِضُ لَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ تَقَدَّمَ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَأَخَّرَ، فَيَتْرُكُهُ مَخَافَةَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُحَكَّمُ نَفْسَهُ

"Indeed Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has a abode made of a pearl or a gem, above which is another gem. In it are seventy thousand palaces, in every palace are seventy thousand houses, and in every house are seventy thousand rooms. None will dwell in it except a prophet, or a truthful one (ṣiddīq), or a martyr, or a just ruler, or a man who has made himself the judge over his own soul." Salamah said: I said to ʿUbayd: Who is the man who has made himself the judge over his own soul? He said: He is the man who seeks the unlawful, in wealth and in women, and it is presented to him; if he wished he could go forward, and if he wished he could hold back, but he leaves it out of fear of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. That is the man who has made himself the judge over his own soul.
