عَن أبي هُرَيْرَة رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: أَنا ثَالِث الشَّرِيكَيْنِ مَا لم يخن صَاحِبَهُ فَإِذَا خَانَهُ خَرَجْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمَا ". رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَزَاد رزين: «وَجَاء الشَّيْطَان»

Abu Hurayrah attributed this report to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace): ‘Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: “I am the third of two partners so long as one of them does not betray his companion. When he betrays him, I depart from between them.”’ Abu Dawud transmitted it. Razin adds: ‘And the devil comes.’ Its listed grading has not been studied (al-Albani).
