1147 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ آلِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَي اللَّهِ تَعَالَي مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ، وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ، احْرِصْ عَلَي مَا يَنْفَعُكَ، وَلَا تَعْجَزْ، فَإِنْ غَلَبَكَ أَمْرٌ فَقُلْ: قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ وَمَا شَاءَ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَاللَّوْ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يَفْتَحُ عَمَلَ الشَّيْطَانِ "
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, though there is goodness in both. Desire that which benefits you, and do not become helpless. If any matter overcomes you, then say: Allah has decreed this, and whatever He willed has happened. And avoid saying ‘if’, for ‘if’ opens the door to the work of Satan.”
