أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمُزَكِّي إِمْلَاءً ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ كَرَامَةَ ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ أَخْبَرَنِي شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَالَ مَنْ عَادَى لِي وَلِيًّا فَقَدْ بَارَزَنِي بِالْحَرْبِ وَمَا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ عَبْدٌ بِشَيْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَمَا زَالَ يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتُ سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي عَلَيْهَا وَلَئِنْ سَأَلَنِي عَبْدِي أَعْطَيْتُهُ وَلَئِنْ اسْتَعَاذَنِي لَأُعِيذَنَّهُ وَذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ قَدْ أَخْرَجْتُهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْأَسْمَاءِ وَالصِّفَاتِ مَعَ تَأْوِيلِهِ
English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz narrated to us... from Abu Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'Allah the Almighty said: Whoever takes a friend of Mine as an enemy, he has declared war against Me. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him. My servant continues to draw near to Me with voluntary acts until I love him. When I love him, I become his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. If he asks Me, I will give him. If he seeks My protection, I will surely protect him.' He mentioned the rest of the hadith, saying: 'I have included it in the Book of Names and Attributes with its interpretation.'
