Question
What is reference of the following narration?
خاب عبد وخسر لم يجعل الله في قلبه رحمة للبشر
Answer
Imam Abu Nu’aym Al Asbahani (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) in Ma’rifatus Sahabah. The narrators of this chain are suitable. Imam Dulabi (rahimahullah) has also recorded this narration in Al Kuna Wal Asma.
(Ma’rifatus Sahabah: 5125, Al Kuna Wal Asma, 971. Also see: Faydul Qadir, 3873)

The person whom Allah has not placed mercy in his heart for fellow humans, is certainly at a loss.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
