1647 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Muhammad ibn ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from a man, from al-Hasan, who said:

“Indeed, the believer harbors good expectations (of his Lord) and thereby performs righteous deeds, whereas the hypocrite holds evil expectations and thus behaves badly. ⦗232⦘ He also said: ‘Allah never expands worldly prosperity for anyone without his becoming deluded by it, nor does He withhold it from him without his taking heed.’”
