16 – Ismaʿil ibn Zakariyya al-Kufi narrated to us; Mansur ibn al-Hajjaj narrated to us; he said: ʿUmar ibn Dharr—may Allah have mercy on him—said, “I cherish two hopes concerning my Lord, Majestic and Exalted: first, that He will not punish me with the Fire; and second, that if He does punish me, He will not leave me there forever alongside those who associated partners with Him.”
