- ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Ahmad ibn Ibrahim told me; Wakiʿ narrated to us; al-Dahhak ibn Yasar narrated to us, from Abu al-ʿAlaʾ, from his brother—meaning Mutarrif—who said: “When a servant’s private self is in harmony with his public self, Allah—exalted is He—says, ‘This is truly My servant.’”
١٣٢٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ، يَعْنِي مُطَرِّفًا قَالَ: إِذَا اسْتَوَتْ سَرِيرَةُ الْعَبْدِ وَعَلَانِيَتُهُ، قَالَ اللَّهُ – Exalté soit-Il –: «هَذَا عَبْدِي حَقًّا»
