اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ مَوْلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّادِقَ الْمَصْدُوقَ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”لَا تُنْزَعُ الرَّحْمَةُ إِلا مِنْ شَقِيٍّ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the truthful and trusted Prophet, Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), saying: "Mercy is only removed from the heart of the wretched."
