ahmad-zuhd:417ʿAbdullāh > Bī > ʿAbd al-Ṣamad > Abū Hilāl > ʿAbdullāh > Shaybān > Abū Hilāl > Bakr

[Machine] When Ibrahim ﷺ was thrown into the fire, the whole creation turned to their Lord and said, "O Lord, your close friend is being thrown into the fire, so allow us to extinguish it for him." He replied, "He is my close friend, and there is no close friend for me on the earth other than him, and I am his Lord, and he has no Lord other than me. If he calls upon you for help, then help him, otherwise leave him." Then the angel of rain came and said, "O Lord, your close friend is being thrown into the fire, so allow me to extinguish it for him with rain." He replied, "He is my close friend; there is no close friend for me on the earth other than him, and I am his Lord, and he has no Lord other than me. If he calls upon you for help, then help him, otherwise leave him." So when he was thrown into the fire, he supplicated to his Lord with a supplication that Abu Hilaal forgot. Allah (glorified and exalted be He) said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Ibrahim" [Surah Al-Anbiya, 69]. He said, "So on that day, it became cool and peaceful for the people of the east and the west, and no part of it was touched."  

الزهد لأحمد:٤١٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أبِي حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو هِلَالٍ وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو هِلَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ قَالَ

لَمَّا أُلْقِيَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﷺ فِي النَّارِ جَأَرَتْ عَامَّةُ الْخَلِيقَةِ إِلَى رَبِّهَا؛ فَقَالُوا يَا رَبِّ خَلِيلُكَ يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ فَأْذَنْ لَنَا نُطْفِئْ عَنْهُ قَالَ هُوَ خَلِيلِي لَيْسَ لِي فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيلٌ غَيْرُهُ وَأَنَا رَبُّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ رَبٌّ غَيْرِي فَإِنِ اسْتَغَاثَ بِكُمْ فَأَغِيثُوهُ وَإِلَّا فَدَعُوهُ قَالَ فَجَاءَ مَلَكُ الْقَطْرِ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ خَلِيلُكَ يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ فَأْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أُطْفِئَ عَنْهُ بِالْقَطْرِ فَقَالَ هُوَ خَلِيلِي؛ لَيْسَ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيلٌ غَيْرُهُ وَأَنَا رَبُّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ رَبٌّ غَيْرِي فَإِنِ اسْتَغَاثَكَ فَأَغِثْهُ وَإِلَا فَدَعْهُ فَلَمَّا أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ دَعَا رَبَّهُ بِدُعَاءٍ نَسِيَهُ أَبُو هِلَالٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ} [الأنبياء 69] قَالَ «فَبَرَدَتْ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ فَلَمْ يُنْضَجْ مِنْهَا كُرَاعٌ»
