Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:8512 حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ «مَنْ يُرَائِي يُرَائِي اللهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ يُسَمِّعْ يُسَمِّعِ اللهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ تَطَاوَلَ تَعَظُّمًا يَخْفِضْهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ تَوَاضَعَ تَخَشُّعًا يَرْفَعْهُ اللهُ وَالنَّاسُ مُوَسَّعٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَقْتُورٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَمَقْتُورٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا مُوَسَّعٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَمَقْتُورٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَمُوَسَّعٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَمُسْتَرِيحٌ وَمُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهُ» قُلْنَا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا الْمُسْتَرِيحُ وَالْمُسْتَرَاحُ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ «أَمَا الْمُسْتَرِيحُ فَالْمُؤْمِنُ إِذَا مَاتَ اسْتَرَاحَ وَأَمَّا الْمُسْتَرَاحُ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ الَّذِي يَظْلِمُ النَّاسَ وَيَغْتَابُهُمْ»
English Translation
'Abdullah said: "Whoever shows off, Allah will expose him. Whoever seeks praise, Allah will publicize his (true state). Whoever exalts himself arrogantly, Allah will humble him. Whoever humbles himself in reverence, Allah will elevate him. People are either given abundance in this world and restriction in the Hereafter, or restriction in this world and abundance in the Hereafter, or restriction in both, or abundance in both. And there is one who rests and one from whom others find rest." We asked: "O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, what is the one who rests and the one from whom others find rest?" He said: "As for the one who rests, it is the believer — when he dies, he finds rest. As for the one from whom others find rest, it is the one who wrongs people and backbites them."
