Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ يَعُودُونَهُ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي فَقَالُوا لَهُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّ
هُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُذْ مِنْ شَارِبِكَ ثُمَّ أَقِرَّهُ حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَبَضَ بِيَمِينِهِ قَبْضَةً وَأُخْرَى بِالْيَدِ الْأُخْرَى وَقَالَ هَذِهِ لِهَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ لِهَذِهِ وَلَا أُبَالِي فَلَا أَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ الْقَبْضَتَيْنِ أَنَا

English Translation
ʿAbd al-Ṣamad narrated to us, Ḥammād — meaning Ibn Salamah — narrated to us, al-Jurayrī narrated to us, from Abū Naḍrah, that a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ called Abū ʿAbdullāh — his companions entered upon him visiting him while he was weeping. They said to him: "What makes you weep? Did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to you: 'Trim your mustache, then keep it so until you meet me?'" He said: "Yes, but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Indeed, Allah عز وجل took a handful with His right hand and another with His other hand and said: This is for this, and this is for this, and I do not care.' So I do not know in which of the two handfuls I am."
