ahmad-zuhd:1882ʿAbdullāh from my father > Sayyār > Jaʿfar > Mālik > And Didt

[Machine] That Allah has granted me permission on the Day of Resurrection, when I stand before Him, to prostrate. And I know that he is pleased with me. Then He says, "O Malik bin Dinar, be dust!" He said, "And I heard Malik say, 'If anyone could wish for something, I would wish to have on the Day of Resurrection a handspan of land that I would be saved from the Fire and be given water to drink.'"  

الزهد لأحمد:١٨٨٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ وَدِدْتُ

أَنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ أَذِنَ لِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِذَا وَقَفْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ أَنْ أَسْجُدَ سَجْدَةً فَأَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ رَضِيَ عَنِّي ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا مَالِكُ بْنَ دِينَارٍ كُنْ تُرَابًا

قالَ: وسَمِعْتُ مالِكًا يَقُولُ: «لَوْ كانَ لِأحَدٍ أنْ يَتَمَنّى لَتَمَنَّيْتُ أنْ يَكُونَ لِي يَوْمَ القِيامَةِ خُصٌّ مِن قَصَبٍ وأنْجُوَ مِنَ النّارِ وأُرْوى مِنَ الماءِ»
