حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ قَالَ: نَا زَافِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ:
جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: " يَا مُحَمَّدُ، عِشْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ، وَاعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مَجْزِيٌّ بِهِ، وَأَحْبِبْ مَنْ شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مُفَارِقُهُ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ شَرَفَ الْمُؤْمِنِ قِيَامُ اللَّيْلِ، وَعِزَّهُ اسْتِغْنَاؤُهُ عَنِ النَّاسِ

✧ Gabriel came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Muhammad, live as you wish, for you will die; do as you wish, for you will be recompensed for it; love whomever you wish, for you will part from him; and know that the honor of the believer is standing in night prayer, and his might is being self-sufficient from people."
