۞
1. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Tha’laba bin Maimoun, from Abdul-Rahman bin Maslama al-Jareeri, that he said
I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, about the saying of Him, Exalted and Glorious is He: «He knows that which deceives the eyes» (40:19) so he said: Do you not see a man; he looks at a thing, and yet, it is as if he does not look at it? That is what deceives the eyes.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن ثعلبة بن ميمون، عن عبد الرحمن بن مسلمة الجريري قال
سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن قوله عز وجل: " يعلم خائنة الأعين " فقال: ألم تر إلى الرجل ينظر إلى الشئ وكأنه لا ينظر إليه فذلك خائنة الأعين.
