Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38249 — Sayings of Ikrimah
٣٨٢٤٩ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن نمير قال: حدثنا مالك بن مغول عن طلحة قال: قيل: من الذي يسمن في الخصب والجدب؟ ومن الذي يهزل في الخصب والجدب؟ ومن الذي هو أحلى من العسل ولا ينقطع؟ قال: أما الذي يسمن في الخصب ⦗٤٨⦘ والجدب فالمؤمن الذي إن أعطي شكر، وإن ابتلي صبر، وأما الذي يهزل في الخصب والجدب فالكافر أو الفاجر إن أعطي لم يشكر، وإن ابتلي لم يصبر، وأما الذي هو أحلى من العسل ولا ينقطع (فهي) (١) ألفة اللَّه التي ألف بين قلوب المؤمنين.
Talhah was asked: What is it that flourishes in both drought and abundance? And what is it that withers in both drought and abundance? And what is it that is sweeter even than honey and never comes to an end? He answered: As for that which flourishes in both drought and abundance, it is the believer who, if he receives, gives thanks, and if he falls into trial, is patient. And that which withers in both drought and abundance is the disbeliever or the sinful person who, when he is given, does not give thanks, and if he falls into trial, is not patient. And that which is sweeter than honey and never comes to an end is the affection of Allah Almighty, who has placed love in the hearts of all the believers.
