52. Midday Naps
٥٢۔ كتاب الْقَائِلَةِ
'Say farewell to Salma if you prepare to go in the morning, White hair and Islam is enough prohibition for a man' 'Umar said, 'Enough! You have spoken the truth. You have spoken the truth.'"
عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ رُبَّمَا قَعَدَ عَلَى بَابِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَإِذَا فَاءَ الْفَيْءُ قَالَ قُومُوا فَمَا بَقِيَ فَهُوَ لِلشَّيْطَانِ ثُمَّ لاَ يَمُرُّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ أَقَامَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ بَيْنَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ قِيلَ هَذَا مَوْلَى بَنِي الْحَسْحَاسِ يَقُولُ الشِّعْرَ فَدَعَاهُ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟ فَقَالَ وَدِّعْ سُلَيْمَى إِنْ تَجَهَّزْتَ غَازِيَا كَفَى الشَّيْبُ وَالإِسْلاَمُ لِلْمَرْءِ نَاهِيَا فَقَالَ حَسْبُكَ صَدَقْتَ صَدَقْتَ
As-Sa'ib ibn Yazid said, "'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, used to pass by us in the middle of the day - or near to it - and say, 'Get up and take a midday nap. Any time spent here after this is for shaytan.'"
عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ كَانَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَمُرُّ بِنَا نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ فَيَقُولُ قُومُوا فَقِيلُوا فَمَا بَقِيَ فَلِلشَّيْطَانِ
Anas said, "They used to gather and then take a midday nap."
عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ كَانُوا يَجْمَعُونَ ثُمَّ يَقِيلُونَ
Anas said, "At the time that wine was made unlawful, there was no drink that the people of Madina liked better than that made from dried dates and unripe dates. I used to give the drink to the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. They were in the home of Abu Talha when a man passed by and announced, 'Wine has been forbidden.' They did not say, 'When?' or 'Wait until we see.' They said, 'Anas, break them!' Then they said in the presence of Umm Sulaym, 'Wait until it becomes cool and we have washed ourselves.' Then Umm Sulaym put perfume on them. Then they went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the news was as the man had said."
قَالَ أَنَسٌ مَا كَانَ لأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ شَرَابٌ حَيْثُ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَالْبُسْرِ فَإِنِّي لَأَسْقِي أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُمْ عِنْدَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ فَمَا قَالُوا مَتَى؟ أَوْ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ قَالُوا يَا أَنَسُ أَهْرِقْهَا ثُمَّ قَالُوا عِنْدَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ حَتَّى أَبْرَدُوا وَاغْتَسَلُوا ثُمَّ طَيَّبَتْهُمْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ ثُمَّ رَاحُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَإِذَا الْخَبَرُ كَمَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَمَا طَعِمُوهَا بَعْدُ
