Hadith Qudsy? ‘I am among those whose hearts are broken for me’

Is this a saying of Allah Ta’ala?

“I am among those whose hearts are broken for me”

Answer:

These exact words have been cited by Imam Ghazali (rahimahullah) to have appeared in ‘some narrations.’

‘Allamah Zabidi (rahimahullah) has written that the Hadith Masters have not recognised this as a narration from Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) and that it is probably a historical (israely) narration.

(Ithafus Sadatil Muttaqin, vol.6 pg.290)

Similar words have indeed been recorded in two separate historical (israely) narrations by Imam Abu Nu’aym (rahimahullah) in Hilyatul Awliya, number: 2777 & 8255.
The narration can be quoted as a Historical narration and not as a Hadith Qudsy transmitted by Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best
