قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : عَبْدِي أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّكَ بِي
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: My servant, I am as you think of Me
Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 1849
اُردوEn
حدثنا أبو عبد الله محمد بن يعقوب الحافظ، حدثنا إبراهيم بن عبد الله السَّعْدي، حدثنا محمد بن القاسم الأَسَدي، حدثنا الرَّبيع بن صَبِيح، عن الحسن، عن أنس بن مالك قال: قال رسولُ الله ﷺ: "قال الله ﷿: عبدي أنا عند ظَنِّك بي، وأنا معك إذا ذَكَرْتَني" (1). ذِكْرُ الظن مخرَّج في "الصحيح" (2)، وذِكْرُ الدعاء غريبٌ صحيح (3)؛ فإنَّ محمد بن القاسم ثقة (4)! وفي هذا الإسناد يقول صالح جَزَرة: حدثنا ابن عركان (5).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: O My servant, I am as you think of Me, and I am with you when you remember Me." (Imam al-Hakim says:) The mention of thinking is recorded in the "Sahih" (Bukhari and Muslim), while the mention of supplication, though gharib (singular), is sahih, because Muhammad bin al-Qasim is a reliable (thiqah) narrator.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Adil Murshid et al.
(1) إسناده واهٍ، محمد بن القاسم الأسدي متهم بالكذب، لكن متن الحديث صحيح. وهذا الحديث لم نجد من أخرجه بهذا الإسناد غير المصنِّف، لكن روي من وجه آخر صحيح عن أنس بن مالك، فقد أخرجه أحمد 20/ (13192) و 21/ (13939) عن أبي داود الطيالسي، عن شعبة، عن قتادة، عن أنس، أنَّ النبي ﷺ قال: "يقول الله: أنا عند ظن عبدي بي، وأنا معه إذا دعاني".
Grading: Its chain is "wahin" (very weak): Muhammad bin al-Qasim al-Asadi is accused of lying, but the text of the hadith is sahih.
Technical note: We found no one other than the author (al-Hakim) who narrated it with this chain, but it is narrated by another, sahih route from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) in Musnad Ahmad (20/13192, 21/13939), from Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi, from Shu'bah, from Qatadah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah says: I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him when he calls upon Me."
وفي الباب عن واثلة بن الأسقع، وسيأتي برقم (7795).
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: On this topic the hadith of Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) will come later under number (7795).
وعن أبي هريرة عند أحمد في "المسند" 12/ (7422)، وذكرنا هناك بقية أحاديث الباب.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) in Musnad Ahmad (12/7422), and there we have mentioned the other hadiths on this topic.
(2) أخرجه من حديث أبي هريرة البخاري (7405) و (5705)، ومسلم (2675) (2) و (2686) (19).
Reference / Source: This hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was narrated by Imam al-Bukhari (7405, 5705) and Imam Muslim (2675 (2), 2686 (19)).
(3) إن كان يقصد قوله: "وأنا معك إذا ذكرتني، وفي بعض الروايات: "وأنا معه إذا دعاني"، فهذا أيضًا مخرَّج في "الصحيحين" بل وفي إحدى روايات مسلم: "وأنا معه إذا دعاني".
Important point / Summary: If al-Hakim means the phrase "I am with you when you remember Me" (in some narrations "I am with him when he calls upon Me"), this too is narrated in al-Bukhari and Muslim; indeed, one of Muslim's narrations has exactly the words "I am with him when he calls upon Me".
(4) بل مجمع على ضعفه إلّا ما روي عن يحيى بن معين في توثيقه، وقد رماه بالكذب أحمد وأبو داود والدارقطني.
Criticism of a narrator: Rather, there is consensus on the weakness of Muhammad bin al-Qasim al-Asadi, except for what is reported from Yahya bin Ma'in declaring him reliable; Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud and al-Daraqutni accused him of lying.
(5) كذا في نسخنا الخطية، ولم نتبينها، لكن ورد في ترجمة محمد بن القاسم الأسدي أنه كان ¤ ¤ يلقب بـ "كاو"، فلعلَّ هناك تحريفًا من هذا القبيل، والله أعلم.
Technical note: A word in our manuscripts could not be identified, but in the biography of Muhammad bin al-Qasim al-Asadi his title is given as "Kaw", so perhaps there is a corruption of this kind here. Allah knows best.
