حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ جَائَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَجِدُ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا الشَّيْئَ نُعْظِمُ أَنْ نَتَکَلَّمَ بِهِ أَوْ الْکَلَامَ بِهِ مَا نُحِبُّ أَنَّ لَنَا وَأَنَّا تَکَلَّمْنَا بِهِ قَالَ أَوَقَدْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ ذَاکَ صَرِيحُ الْإِيمَانِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5111
Abu Hurairah said; His companion came to him and said; Messenger of Allah! We have thoughts which we cannot dare talk about and we do not like that we have them or talk about them. He said: Have you experienced that? They replied: yes. He said: that is clear faith.
