حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ: ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ: ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ الْأَزْرَقُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الْبَصْرِيِّ قَالَ: ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، وَصَدَّقَهُ عَطَاءٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا بُنَيَّ، احْفَظِ اللهَ يَحْفَظْكَ، وَاحْفَظِ اللهَ تَجِدْهُ تُجَاهَكَ، إِذَا سَأَلْتَ فَاسْأَلِ اللهَ، وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللهِ، جَفَّتِ الصُّحُفُ، وَرُفِعَتِ الْأَقْلَامُ، فَلَوْ جَهَدَتِ الْأُمَّةُ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يُقَدِّرْهُ اللهُ لَكَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَلَوْ جَهَدَتِ الْأُمَّةُ عَلَى أَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يُقَدِّرْهُ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ مَا قَدَرَتْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

✧ I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: "O my dear son, preserve Allah and He will preserve you. Preserve Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek help, seek help from Allah. The scrolls have dried, and the pens have been lifted. If the community strove to benefit you with something that Allah has not decreed for you, they would not be able to do so. And if the community strove to harm you with something that Allah has not decreed against you, they would not be able to do so."
