حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رِبْعِيَّ بْنَ حِرَاشٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ، يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " ثَلاَثَةٌ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ وَثَلاَثَةٌ يَبْغَضُهُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ فَرَجُلٌ أَتَى قَوْمًا فَسَأَلَهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُمْ بِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَمَنَعُوهُ فَتَخَلَّفَ رَجُلٌ بِأَعْقَابِهِمْ فَأَعْطَاهُ سِرًّا لاَ يَعْلَمُ بِعَطِيَّتِهِ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَالَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ وَقَوْمٌ سَارُوا لَيْلَتَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ النَّوْمُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِمَّا يُعْدَلُ بِهِ نَزَلُوا فَوَضَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ فَقَامَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَتَمَلَّقُنِي وَيَتْلُو آيَاتِي وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَلَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَهُزِمُوا وَأَقْبَلَ بِصَدْرِهِ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ أَوْ يُفْتَحَ لَهُ . وَالثَّلاَثَةُ الَّذِينَ يَبْغَضُهُمُ اللَّهُ الشَّيْخُ الزَّانِي وَالْفَقِيرُ الْمُخْتَالُ وَالْغَنِيُّ الظَّلُومُ " . حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، نَحْوَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَهَكَذَا رَوَى شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، نَحْوَ هَذَا وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ .

Abu Dharr reported that the Prophet said: ‘There are three whom Allah loves and three whom Allah hates. As for those whom Allah loves: a man came to a people and asked them by Allah, without appealing to any kinship between him and them. They refused him, but one man stayed behind after them and secretly gave to him; no one knew of this gift except Allah and the one who gave it. And a people traveled through the night until sleep became dearer to them than anything it could be compared with. They stopped and laid their heads down, but one of them rose, humbly beseeching Me and reciting My verses. And a man who was with a detachment met the enemy when his companions were routed; he faced them, continuing until he was killed or granted victory. The three whom Allah hates are an old man who commits adultery, a poor man who is arrogant, and a rich man who is unjust.’
A second chain, through al-Nadr ibn Shumayl from Shu‘bah, reports the same meaning. Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is sahih. Shayban also narrated something similar from Mansur, and this is sounder than the hadith of Abu Bakr ibn ‘Ayyash.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The prior entry cited the Abu Bakr ibn ‘Ayyash route as not preserved; this entry gives the sounder Abu Dharr route and explicitly compares it favorably with that variant. The Arabic says the companions were routed, not killed, and preserves the endpoint as either death or victory.
