كلام (عمران) بن حصين ﵁Sayings of Imran ibn Husayn رضي الله عنه
Hadith 37420
٣٧٤٢٠ - حدثنا وكيع عن أبي الأشهب عن الحسن قال: ابتلي عمران بن الحصين ببلاء كان (يوله) (١) منه قال: فقال له بعض من يأتيه: إنه ليمنعني (من إتيانك) (٢) ما نرى منك؟ قال: فلا تفعل فواللَّه إن أحبه إلي أحبه إلى اللَّه (٣).
It is narrated from Hasan, he says that Hazrat Imran bin Husain was afflicted with such an illness due to which he would lose consciousness. The narrator says that some of those who used to visit him said: The condition in which we see you prevents me from coming to you. He replied: Do not do so. By God! Surely, whatever is beloved to God is beloved to me.
