حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِى طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِى مُرَّةَ مَوْلَى عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ عَنْ أَبِى وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِىِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ فِى الْمَسْجِدِ وَالنَّاسُ مَعَهُ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ ثَلاَثَةُ نَفَرٍ فَأَقْبَلَ اثْنَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَذَهَبَ وَاحِدٌ فَلَمَّا وَقَفَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَلَّمَا فَأَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَرَأَى فُرْجَةً فِى الْحَلْقَةِ فَجَلَسَ فِيهَا وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَجَلَسَ خَلْفَهُمْ وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَأَدْبَرَ ذَاهِبًا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنِ النَّفَرِ الثَّلاَثَةِ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمْ فَأَوَى إِلَى اللَّهِ فَآوَاهُ اللَّهُ وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَاسْتَحْيَا فَاسْتَحْيَا اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَأَعْرَضَ فَأَعْرَضَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَأَبُو وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِىُّ اسْمُهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَأَبُو مُرَّةَ مَوْلَى أُمِّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ وَاسْمُهُ يَزِيدُ وَيُقَالُ مَوْلَى عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ .
While the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, was sitting in the mosque with a company, three people approached. Two of them went towards the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, while the third went on his way. When they reached the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, they greeted [those present]. One of them saw a gap in the circle and sat there, while the other one sat behind. The third had turned away. When the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, was done, he said, "Shall I tell you about the three people? As for the first, he came to God, so God welcomed him; the second showed modesty, so God repaid him (1); and the third turned away from God, so God turned away from him." Footnotes: (1) i.e. God had mercy on him because he had mercy on others by not wanting to disturb them and sitting at the back. Click on ḥadīth to read more
