Sayyiduna Amr bin Malik al-Ru'asi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he turned away from me. So I said: When one strives to please the Lord, He becomes pleased; so may you too be pleased with me. The narrator says: So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became pleased with me.
Al-Bazzar recorded it as a narration of Tariq from Amr bin Malik. Tariq is mentioned by Ibn Abi Hatim, who neither declared him trustworthy nor criticised him, and the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
