حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلاَنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْجَنْبِيِّ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ يُسْأَلُ عَنْهُمْ: رَجُلٌ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ وَعَصَى إِمَامَهُ فَمَاتَ عَاصِيًا، فَلاَ تَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ، وَأَمَةٌ أَوْ عَبْدٌ أَبِقَ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ، وَامْرَأَةٌ غَابَ زَوْجُهَا، وَكَفَاهَا مَؤُونَةَ الدُّنْيَا فَتَبَرَّجَتْ وَتَمَرَّجَتْ بَعْدَهُ. وَثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ يُسْأَلُ عَنْهُمْ: رَجُلٌ نَازَعَ اللَّهَ رِدَاءَهُ، فَإِنَّ رِدَاءَهُ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ، وَإِزَارَهُ عِزَّهُ، وَرَجُلٌ شَكَّ فِي أَمْرِ اللهِ، وَالْقُنُوطُ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ.

Fadala ibn 'Ubayd reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, said, "Do not ask about three:
a man who parts companywith the community, rebels the ruler and dies while he is a still a rebel.Do not ask about him. Or a slave or slavegirl who runs away from his master.Or a woman whose husband is absent and who has sufficient provision andthen displays her adornments to strangers and mixes freely. Do not askabout three: a man who contends with Allah regarding His cloak. His cloakis pride and His wrapper is His might. Also a man who doubts the commandof Allah. and someone who despairs of Allah's mercy."
