حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: نَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ الْكُوفِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ قَادِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ:
إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ اطَّلَعَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ، فَوَجَدَ قَلْبَ مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرَ قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ، ثُمَّ اطَّلَعَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ بَعْدَ قَلْبِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَوَجَدَ قُلُوبَ أَصْحَابِهِ خَيْرَ قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ، فَاخْتَارَهُمْ لِدِينِهِ، يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى دِينِهِ، فَمَا رَآهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ حَسَنًا فَهُوَ عِنْدَ اللهِ حَسَنٌ، وَمَا رَأَوْهُ سَيِّئًا فَهُوَ عِنْدَ اللهِ سَيِّئٌ ".

✧ Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, looked into the hearts of His servants and found the heart of Muhammad to be the best of the hearts of His servants. Then He looked into the hearts of His servants after the heart of Muhammad and found the hearts of his Companions to be the best of the hearts of His servants. So He chose them for His religion; they fight for His religion. Whatever the Muslims see as good is good in the sight of Allah, and whatever they see as evil is evil in the sight of Allah."

Al-Masʿūdī and Ḥamzah al-Zayyāt differed from them and narrated it from ʿĀṣim, from Abū Wāʾil, from ʿAbdullāh. Naṣīr b. Abī al-Ashʿath differed from them, narrating it from ʿĀṣim, from al-Musayyab b. Rāfiʿ and Muslim b. Ṣubayḥ, from ʿAbdullāh. Al-Aʿmash also narrated it, and there is disagreement about him: ʿAbd al-Salām b. Ḥarb said, from al-Aʿmash, from Shaqīq, from ʿAbdullāh, and Ibn ʿUyaynah said, from al-Aʿmash, from Mālik b. al-Ḥārith, from ʿAbdullāh.
