Hadith 9694

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، وَيَزِيدُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا نَجِدُ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا مَا يَسُرُّنَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ ، وَإِنَّ لَنَا مَا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ ، قَالَ : " أَوَجَدْتُمْ ذَلِكَ " ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : " ذَاكَ صَرِيحُ الْإِيمَانِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that once the companions, may Allah be pleased with them, said, "O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sometimes such thoughts come into our hearts that we do not like to utter them, even if we were to be given the whole world in exchange." The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Does this really happen?" The companions, may Allah be pleased with them, replied, "Yes." The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "This is pure faith."
