Assakamu 'aleykum,
I'm looking for this particular poem which is supposed to be in the Manaaqib of Imam Ahmad by Imam ibn al-Jawzi, I'm looking for the Arabic itself, so if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated
One of the students of Imam Ahmad asked him 'O Abu Abdullah, what is your view about these odes which mention Paradise and Hell?' He asked, 'Like what?' He said, 'They say:
When my Lord asks me:
Are you not ashamed to disobey Me?
You hide your sins from My creation,
Yet with sins come you to Me!'
Ahmad said, 'Read it to me again,' so he did. Then Ahmad stood up and went into his house and closed the door behind him. The student said, 'I could hear him from inside the house weeping, as he recited:
When my Lord asks me:
Are you not ashamed to disobey Me?
You hide your sins from My creation,
Yet with sins come you to Me.'
