عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ قَالَ: مَرِضَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ يَعُودُونَهُ فَبَكَى، فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ؟ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ ثُمَّ أَقِرَّهُ حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي)) قَالَ: بَلَى، وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَبَضَ قَبْضَةً بِيَمِينِهِ فَقَالَ: هَذِهِ لِهَذِهِ وَلَا أُبَالِي وَقَبَضَ قَبْضَةً أُخْرَى يَعْنِي بِيَدِهِ الْأُخْرَى فَقَالَ: هَذِهِ لِهَذِهِ وَلَا أُبَالِي)) فَلَا أَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ الْقَبْضَتَيْنِ أَنَا
Abu Nazrah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: A companion became ill, and when his companions went to visit him, he began to weep. Someone said to him: "O servant of Allah! Why are you weeping? Did not the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say to you: Trim your mustache, then remain in that state until you meet me?" He said: "Yes, indeed, that is what happened, but I also heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Verily, Allah the Exalted took a handful with His right hand and said: These are for Paradise, and I do not care. Then He took a handful with the other hand and said: These are for Hell, and I do not care. Now I do not know in which handful I was."
