عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَغَنِيٌّ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar hadith, except that in it is: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, Allah Almighty is free of need from this person punishing himself.
