There are three whom Allah loves, and three whom Allah
hates.As for those whom Allah
loves, the first is a man who comes to a people and asks them in the name of Allah
, not asking on the basis of any kinship between him and them, and they refuse him. Then one man stays behind after them and gives to him secretly, so that none knows of his gift except Allah
and the one he gave it to.The second is a people who travel through the night until, when sleep becomes more beloved to them than anything that could be weighed against it, they dismount and lay down their heads, but one man rises and devotes himself to Me in supplication and recites My verses.The third is a man who is in a military expedition and they meet the enemy and are defeated, but he turns his chest forward and presses on until he is killed or Allah grants him victory.As for the three whom Allah
hates, they are the elderly fornicator, the arrogant pauper, and the oppressive rich man.
أخبرنا محمد بن المثنى قال حدثنا محمد قال حدثنا شعبة عن منصور قال سمعت ربعيا يحدث عن زيد بن ظبيان رفعه إلى
ثلاثة يحبهم الله عز وجل وثلاثة يبغضهم الله عز وجل أما الذين يحبهم الله عز وجل فرجل أتى قوما فسألهم بالله عز وجل ولم يسألهم بقرابة بينه وبينهم فمنعوه فتخلفه رجل بأعقابهم فأعطاه سرا لا يعلم بعطيته إلا الله عز وجل والذي أعطاه وقوم ساروا ليلتهم حتى إذا كان النوم أحب إليهم مما يعدل به نزلوا فوضعوا رءوسهم فقام يتملقني ويتلو آياتي ورجل كان في سرية فلقوا العدو فهزموا فأقبل بصدره حتى يقتل أو يفتح الله له والثلاثة الذين يبغضهم الله عز وجل الشيخ الزاني والفقير المختال والغني الظلوم
