Abu Musa reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "No one - nothing - is more patient in enduring
an injury which he hears than Allah Almighty. They claim that He has a
son, and yet He still cures them and provides for them."
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ، وَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ، خَيْرٌ مِنَ الَّذِي لاَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ، وَلاَ يَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ.
Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "The believer who mixes with people and endures their
injury is better than the person who does not mix with people nor endure
their injury."
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ شَقِيقًا يَقُولُ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: قَسَمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قِسْمَةً، كَبَعْضِ مَا كَانَ يَقْسِمُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ: وَاللَّهِ، إِنَّهَا لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، قُلْتُ أَنَا: لَأَقُولَنَّ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأَتَيْتُهُ، وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ، فَسَارَرْتُهُ، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ، وَغَضِبَ، حَتَّى وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَخْبَرَتْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قَدْ أُوذِيَ مُوسَى بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَصَبَرَ.
'Abdullah said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, swore an oath like one of the oaths that people swear and a man
of the Ansar said, 'By Allah, it is not an oath by which the Face of Allah
Almighty is desired." I said, 'I will tell the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace. I went to him while he was with his Companions
and I spoke to him in confidence. It clearly affected him greatly, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his face changed colour so that
I wished that I had not told him. Then he said, 'Musa was injured with
greater than that and he endured it.'"
'Abdullah said, "Lying is not correct, neither
in seriousness nor in jest. None of you should promise his child something
and then not give it to him."
