حَدِیثَ وَاثِلَةَ بنِ الاَسقَعِ
Hadith of Wathilah ibn al-Asqa'
Musnad Ahmad 16979 — Hadith of Wathilah ibn al-Asqa'
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ الْغَازِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، قَالَ : دَعَانِي وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا حَيَّان ، قُدْنِي إِلَى يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ الْجُرَشِيِّ ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، فَقَالَ : أَبْشِرْ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : " أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي ، فَلْيَظُنَّ بِي مَا شَاءَ "
Hayyan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) called me and said: O Hayyan! Take me to Abu al-Aswad Jurashi... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith, and he said: Then rejoice, for I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: I am as My servant thinks of Me, so let him think of Me as he wishes.
