Abu Waqid al-Laythi reported: While Allah’s Messenger was sitting in the mosque with people around him, three men arrived. Two approached the Messenger of Allah and one went away. When the two stood before him, they greeted him. One saw an open space in the circle and sat there; the other sat behind them; the third turned and left. When Allah’s Messenger had finished, he said, ‘Shall I tell you about the three? One turned to Allah, so Allah received him. Another felt shy, so Allah showed him mercy. The third turned away, so Allah turned away from him.’
Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Abu Waqid al-Laythi’s name was al-Harith ibn ‘Awf. Abu Murrah was the freedman of ‘Aqil ibn Abi Talib—or, it is said, of Umm Hani’ bint Abi Talib—and his name was Yazid.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source gives variant affiliations for Abu Murrah (to ‘Aqil or Umm Hani’) and identifies his name as Yazid. ‘Allah received him’ renders the repeated root in the Arabic; the witness adds ‘had mercy’ as an interpretation.
