وروي أنه كان يفتخر ويقول: أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فأنشدته: بلغنا السماء مجدنا وجدودنا وإنا لنرجو فوق ذلك مظهرا فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: أين المظهر يا أبا ليلى؟ فقلت: الجنة يا رسول الله. فقال: أجل إن شاء الله تعالى. ثم أنشدته: ولا خير في حلم إذا لم يكن له بوادر تحمي صفوه أن يكدرا ولا خير في جهل إذا لم يكن له حليم إذا ما أورد الأمر أصدرا فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: لا يفضض الله فاك.
He proudly says: I recited the following verses to the Messenger of Allah (s): Our greatness and nobility has reached to the skies and we hope that it will go beyond them. The Messenger of Allah (s) asked: “Till where, O Abu Laila?” I replied: “In Paradise, O Messenger of Allah (s).” The Holy Prophet (s) remarked: “All right, if Allah so wills.” After that I presented the following couplets to the Messenger of Allah (s): There is no goodness in forbearance and magnanimity, when they are not accompanied with evil and anger, till purity does not stain the period of forbearance or period of anger. And there is no goodness in ignorance also, when it is not accompanied with forbearance and severity does not make amends for it with kindness and tolerance. At that moment the Holy Prophet (s) said: May Allah bless you.
