2453. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed for everything there is a zeal, and for every zeal there is a slackening. So if its practitioner behaves properly, and is moderate, then hope for him (for his success). But if the fingers are pointed at him,[1] then do not count him (among the worthy).” (Hasan) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb from this route. It has been related from Anas bin Mālik that the Prophet ﷺ said: “It is sufficient evil for a man that fingers be raised against him, regarding religion or worldly matters, except for one whom Allāh has protected.”

٢٤٥٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ أَبُو عُمَرَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنِ ‌الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ شِرَّةً»، وَلِكُلِّ شِرَّةٍ فَتْرَةً، فَإِنْ كَانَ صَاحِبُهَا سَدَّدَ وَقَارَبَ فَأَرْجُوهُ، وَإِنْ أُشِيرَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ فَلَا تَعُدُّوهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: بِحَسْبِ امْرِئٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَنْ يُشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ فِي دِينٍ أَوْ دُنْيَا إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَهُ اللهُ.
