عَنْ حِبَّانَ أَبِي النَّضْرِ قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ مَعَ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ عَلَى أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الْجُرَشِيِّ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا وَجَلَسَ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ يَمِينَ وَاثِلَةَ فَمَسَحَ بِهَا عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ وَوَجْهِهِ لِبَيْعَتِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : فَقَالَ وَاثِلَةُ : وَاحِدَةٌ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهَا قَالَ : وَمَا هِيَ ؟ قَالَ : كَيْفَ ظَنُّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ وَأَشَارَ بِرَأْسِهِ أَيْ حَسَنٌ فَقَالَ وَاثِلَةُ : أَبْشِرْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : قَالَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - : " أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي فَلْيَظُنَّ بِي مَا شَاءَ " .

Hibban Abu al-Nadr narrates: I went with Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) to visit Abu al-Aswad al-Jurashi. This was during his illness in which he passed away. He greeted us with salam and sat down. Abu al-Aswad took hold of Sayyiduna Wathilah's hand and passed that hand over his eyes and his face. The reason for this was that Sayyiduna Wathilah had pledged allegiance at the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator says: Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There is one thing I want to ask about." He said: "What is that thing?" Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "What is your opinion (expectation) of your Lord?" Abu al-Aswad gestured with his head in reply, meaning that it (his expectation) was good. Then Sayyiduna Wathilah said: "Receive the glad tidings, for I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Allah Almighty says: I am as My servant expects of Me, so let him think of Me whatever he wishes.'"
Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat recorded it. The narrators of Ahmad are thiqat (trustworthy).

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " يَقُولُ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - : أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي إِنْ ظَنَّ خَيْرًا فَلَهُ ، وَإِنْ ظَنَّ شَرًّا فَلَهُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَفِيهِ ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ وَفِيهِ كَلَامٌ .
قُلْتُ : وَتَأْتِي أَحَادِيثُ فِي حُسْنِ الظَّنِّ فِي الْأَدْعِيَةِ وَغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ .

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty says: 'I am as My servant expects of Me. If he expects good, he will have it, and if he expects evil, he will have it.'"
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains Ibn Lahi'ah, and he has been criticised.
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Hadiths about having a good opinion (of Allah) will come later in the chapter on supplications and in other chapters, if Allah wills.
