حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْضَمُ بْنُ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثُ خِلَالٍ غَيَّبْتُهُنَّ عَنْ عِبَادِي لَوْ رَآهُنَّ مَا عَمِلَ سُوءًا أَبَدًا لَوْ كَشَفْتُ غِطَائي فَرَآنِي حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِنَ وَيَعْلَمَ كَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ بِخَلْقِي إِذَا أَمَتُّهُمْ وَقَبَضْتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِيَدِي ثُمَّ قَبَضْتُ الْأَرْضَ وَالْأَرَضِينَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي لَهُ الْمُلْكُ دُونِي؟ ثُمَّ أُرِيهِمُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهُمْ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ فَيَسْتَيْقِنُونَهَا وأُرِيهِمُ النَّارَ وَمَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ فَيَسْتَيْقِنُونَهَا وَلَكِنْ عَمْدًا غَيَّبْتُ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ؛ لِأَعْلَمَ كَيْفَ يَعْمَلُونَ وَقَدْ بَيَّنْتُهُ لَهُمْ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Three traits I have hidden from My servants; if they saw them, they would never do evil at all: if I removed My veil and they saw Me, so that they would be certain and know how I deal with My creation when I cause them to die, and I grasp the heavens with My hand, then I grasp the earth and the earths, then I say, ‘I am the King; who is there that has dominion besides Me?’ Then I show them Paradise and what I have prepared for them in it of every good, and they would be certain of it. And I show them the Fire and what I have prepared for them of every evil, and they would be certain of it. But deliberately I have hidden that from them, so that I may know how they act, and I have made it clear to them.”
