Hadith 37419
٣٧٤١٩ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن الجريري عن يزيد عن أخيه (١) مطرف قال: قال لي عمران بن حصين: إني أحدثك حديثا لعل اللَّه أن ينفعك به بعد اليوم، اعلم أن خيار العباد عند اللَّه الحمادون (٢).
It is narrated from Hazrat Mutarrif that he says Hazrat Imran bin Husain said to me, "Shall I narrate to you a hadith? Perhaps Allah Almighty will benefit you through it after today. Know that the best of Allah's servants are those who praise Him the most."
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.
