English translation

[5681] 26 - (2176) It was narrated from Abû Wâqid Al-Laithî that while the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was sitting in the Masjid, and the people were with him, three people came in. Two of them went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and one went away. They stood beside the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. One of them saw a space in the circle and sat down, and the other sat behind them, but the third turned and left. When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had finished, he said: "Shall I not tell you about these three people? One of them sought refuge with Allâh and Allâh granted him refuge, the other felt shy so Allâh was merciful to him, and the third turned away, so Allâh turned away from him."

Arabic text

26 - (2176) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُرَّةَ، مَوْلَى عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَالنَّاسُ مَعَهُ، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ نَفَرٌ ثَلَاثَةٌ، فَأَقْبَلَ اثْنَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَذَهَبَ وَاحِدٌ، قَالَ فَوَقَفَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَرَأَى فُرْجَةً فِي الْحَلْقَةِ فَجَلَسَ فِيهَا، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَجَلَسَ خَلْفَهُمْ، وَأَمَّا الثَّالِثُ فَأَدْبَرَ ذَاهِبًا، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنِ النَّفَرِ الثَّلَاثَةِ؟ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمْ فَأَوَى إِلَى اللهِ، فَآوَاهُ اللهُ، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَاسْتَحْيَا، فَاسْتَحْيَا اللهُ مِنْهُ، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَأَعْرَضَ، فَأَعْرَضَ اللهُ عَنْهُ»
