١٦۔١١ من حديث خباب بن الأرت

ahmad:27214ʿAbdullāh b. Idrīs > al-Aʿmash Yarwī > Shaqīq > Khabbāb

"We emigrated with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, seeking the Face of Allah. So our reward is with Allah. Among us were those who died and did not consume any of the rewards (in this life), and among us were those who lived to see its fruits and tend to them. Verily, Musab bin 'Umair died without leaving anything behind but a garment. When they covered his head with it, his feet would become exposed, and when they covered his feet with it, his head will become exposed. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Cover his head and place Al-Idhkir over his feet." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3853)   

أحمد:٢٧٢١٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْأَعْمَشَ يَرْوِي عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ خَبَّابٍ قَالَ

هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ إِلَّا نَمِرَةً إِذَا غَطَّوْا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَطُّوا رَأْسَهُ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ إِذْخِرًا قَالَ وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَ الثِّمَارَ فَهُوَ يَهْدِبُهَا

We asked Khabbab: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recit (the Quran) in the noon and afternoon prayers? He replied: Yes. We then asked: How did you know this? He said: By the shaking of his beard, may peace be upon him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 801)   

أحمد:٢٧٢١٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ

قُلْنَا لِخَبَّابٍ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كُنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ بِاضْطِرَابِ لِحْيَتِهِ  

ahmad:27216Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Ismāʿīl > Qays

I came to Khabbab who had been branded with seven brands over his ʿAbdomen, and I heard him saying, "If the Prophet: had not forbidden us to invoke (Allah) for death, I would have invoked Allah for it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6350)  

أحمد:٢٧٢١٦حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا أَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ  

ahmad:27217Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Ismāʿīl > Qays > Khabbāb

Khabbab said “We came to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ while he was reclining on an outer garment in the shade of the Ka’bah. Complaining to him we said “Do you not ask Allaah for help for us? And do you not pray to Allaah for us? He sat aright turning red in his face and said “A man before you (i.e., in ancient times) was caught and a pit was dug for him in the earth and then a saw was brought placed on his head and it was broken into two pieces but that did not turn him away from his religion. They were combed in iron combs in flesh and sinews above the bones. Even that did not turn them away from their religion. I swear by Allaah, Allaah will accomplish this affair until a rider will travel between San’a and Hadramaut and he will not fear anyone except Allaah, Most High(nor will he fear the attack of) a wolf on his sheep, but you are making haste. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2649)   

أحمد:٢٧٢١٧حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ عَنْ خَبَّابٍ قَالَ

شَكَوْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ بُرْدَةً فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقُلْنَا أَلَا تَسْتَنْصِرُ لَنَا اللهَ ﷻ أَوْ أَلَا يَعْنِي تَسْتَنْصِرُ لَنَا ؟ فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ يُؤْخَذُ فَيُحْفَرُ لَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيُجَاءُ بِالْمِنْشَارِ فَيُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَيُجْعَلُ بِنِصْفَيْنِ فَمَا يَصُدُّهُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَيُمْشَطُ بِأَمْشَاطِ الْحَدِيدِ مَا دُونَ عَظْمِهِ مِنْ لَحْمٍ أَوْ عَصَبٍ فَمَا يَصُدُّهُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَاللهِ لَيُتِمَّنَّ اللهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ حَتَّى يَسِيرَ الرَّاكِبُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى حَضْرَمَوْتَ لَا يَخَافُ إِلَّا اللهَ ﷻ وَالذِّئْبَ عَلَى غَنَمِهِ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

[Machine] "We used to sit at the door of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , waiting for him to come out for the Dhuhr prayer. When he came out to us, he said, 'Listen,' and we replied, 'We have listened.' Then he said, 'Listen,' and we replied, 'We have listened.' Then he said, 'There will be leaders over you who will not be fair, so do not help them in their injustice and do not believe them in their lies. For whoever supports them in their injustice and believes them in their lies, he will not be granted access to the Pond (of Al-Kawthar).' "  

أحمد:٢٧٢١٨حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يُونُسَ الْقُشَيْرِيُّ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الْأَرَتِّ قَالَحَدَّثَنِي أَبِي خَبَّابُ بْنُ الْأَرَتِّ قَالَ

إِنَّا لَقُعُودٌ عَلَى بَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ لِصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ اسْمَعُوا فَقُلْنَا سَمِعْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْمَعُوا فَقُلْنَا سَمِعْنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ فَلَا تُعِينُوهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ وَلَا تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ وَصَدَّقَهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ فَلَنْ يَرِدَ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ

[Machine] I entered upon Khabbab and he was suffering from seven diseases. He said, "If it were not for the fact that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that no one of you should wish for death, I would have wished for it. And indeed, I have seen myself with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I did not possess a single dirham. Yet, now in my house I have forty thousand dirhams." Khabbab then instructed for his shroud to be brought, and when he saw it, he cried and said, "But Hamzah did not have anything for his shroud except a Burdah (thick woolen garment) that would cover his head and leave his feet exposed. And when it was placed on his feet, it would uncover his head, until it could be stretched over his head, and then it would leave his feet uncovered. And on his feet was a piece of cloth called Al-Idhkir."
