حَدَّثَنا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثنا خالد بن يزيد صاحب اللؤلؤ حَدَّثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيُّ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَن أَنَس أَنَّ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لا يُعْطِي عَلَى العنف اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لا يُعْطِي عَلَى العنف
English Translation
Nasr ibn 'Ali narrated to us: Abu Ahmad narrated to us: al-Rabi' ibn Sabih narrated to us from Yazid ibn Aban from Anas ibn Malik from the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) who stated: «Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times, Paradise says: O Allah, admit him to Paradise. And whoever seeks refuge from the Fire three times, the Fire says: O Allah, grant him refuge from the Fire.» This hadith, we do not know of anyone who narrated it from al-Rabi' ibn Sabih except Abu Ahmad.
