حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ قَالَ مَرِضَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ يَعُودُونَهُ فَبَكَى فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ ثُمَّ اقْرِرْهُ حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَبَضَ قَبْضَةً بِيَمِينِهِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ لِهَذِهِ وَلَا أُبَالِ وَقَبْضَةً أُخْرَى يَعْنِي بِيَدِهِ الْأُخْرَى فَقَالَ هَذِهِ لِهَذِهِ وَلَا أُبَالِ فَلَا أَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ الْقَبْضَتَيْنِ أَنَا.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Abu Nadrah said: A man from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) fell ill, and his companions entered upon him to visit him, and he wept. It was said to him: 'What makes you weep, O Abdullah? Did not the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say to you: Trim your mustache and keep it trimmed until you meet me?' He said: 'Yes, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: Allah, Blessed and Most High, seized a handful with His Right Hand and said: This is for this, and I do not care; and another handful, meaning with His other Hand, and said: This is for this, and I do not care. So I do not know in which of the two handfuls I am.'
