Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37299 — The words of Ibn Masud
٣٧٢٩٩ - حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن زبيد عن مرة عن عبد اللَّه قال: إن اللَّه يعطي الدنيا من يحب ومن لا يحب، ولا يعطي الإيمان إلا من يحب، فإذا أحب اللَّه عبدا أعطاه الإيمان، (فمن) (١) جبن منكم عن الليل أن يكابده، والعدو أن يجاهده، وضن بالمال أن ينفقه، فليكثر من سبحان اللَّه والحمد للَّه، ولا إله إلا اللَّه، واللَّه أكبر (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty gives this world to those He loves and those He does not love, but He grants faith only to those He loves. When Allah Almighty loves a servant, He grants him faith. So whoever among you fears enduring hardship at night, is too cowardly to fight the enemy in jihad, and is too miserly to spend wealth, let him say abundantly: 'Subhan Allah, wal-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu akbar' (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no deity but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)."
