وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " أَوْحَى اللَّهُ ﷿ إِلى جبريلَ ﵇: أَنِ اقْلِبْ مَدِينَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا بِأَهْلِهَا قَالَ: يارب إِنَّ فِيهِمْ عَبْدَكَ فُلَانًا لَمْ يَعْصِكَ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ ". قَالَ: " فَقَالَ: اقْلِبْهَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمْ فَإِنَّ وَجهه لم يتمعر فِي سَاعَة قطّ "
Jabir Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "Allah, Mighty and Glorious, commanded Jibril عليه السلام that he should turn such and such a city upside down with its inhabitants (for, they deserved this punishment). But, he submitted, 'O Lord, there is among them your certain slave who has never disobeyed you even for a moment. He said, "Turn it upside down on him and on them, for, his face never changed colour for My sake (on seeing their sins) even for a while." [1]
