عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَلْتَمِسُ مَرْضَاةَ اللَّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - فَلَا يَزَالُ كَذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُ : يَا جِبْرِيلُ ، إِنَّ عَبْدِي فُلَانًا يَلْتَمِسُ أَنْ يُرْضِيَنِي بِرِضَائِي عَلَيْهِ " . قَالَ : " فَيَقُولُ جِبْرِيلُ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى فُلَانٍ ، وَتَقُولُ حَمَلَةُ الْعَرْشِ ، وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ ، ثُمَّ يَهْبِطُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " وَهِيَ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي كِتَابِهِ : " إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ وُدًّا " . وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَلْتَمِسُ سُخْطَ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - : يَا جِبْرِيلُ ، إِنَّ فُلَانًا يَسْتَسْخِطُنِي ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِ ، فَيَقُولُ جِبْرِيلُ : غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ ، وَتَقُولُ حَمَلَةُ الْعَرْشِ ، وَيَقُولُ مَنْ دُونَهُمْ حَتَّى يَقُولَهُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ ، ثُمَّ يَهْبِطُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The servant seeks the pleasure of Allah Almighty and keeps on doing so, until Allah Almighty says: O Jibril! My servant so-and-so is striving to please Me, so I am pleased with him. Then Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) says: May the mercy of Allah Almighty be upon so-and-so. The angels who carry the Throne say it, the angels next to them say it, until the inhabitants of the seven heavens say it, and then this is sent down to the earth." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the verse which Allah Almighty has revealed to you in His Book: "Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds, the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sometimes a servant keeps doing deeds that incur the displeasure of Allah Almighty, so Allah Almighty says: O Jibril! So-and-so seeks My displeasure; beware, My wrath will descend upon him. So Sayyiduna Jibril says: The wrath of Allah Almighty will descend upon so-and-so. Then the bearers of the Throne say it, and those near them say it, until the inhabitants of the seven heavens say it, and then this is sent down to the earth."

وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكٍ الرُّؤَاسِيِّ قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، ارْضَ عَنِّي ، قَالَ : فَأَعَرَضَ عَنِّي ثَلَاثًا قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَيَتَرَضَّى فَيَرْضَى ، قَالَ : " فَرَضِيَ عَنِّي " . رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ .
Sayyiduna Amr bin Malik al-Ru'asi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Be pleased with me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away from me; this happened three times. The narrator says: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! When one strives to please the Lord, He becomes pleased." The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became pleased with me.
