8. Shāmīs
٨۔ مسند الشاميين
Allah gives opportunities to do righteous acts for the ones he wills good
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If Allah wills goodness for a servant, He sweetens him.” It was said, “What would be his sweetness?” The Prophet said, “Allah opens the door of righteous deeds for him before his death and then receives his soul in that state.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا، عَسَلَهُ۔» قِيلَ: وَمَا عَسَلُهُ؟ قَالَ: «يَفْتَحُ اللهُ لَهُ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُهُ عَلَيْهِ۔»
[Machine] I saw seven companions who had accompanied the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , and two of them had consumed blood during the pre-Islamic period, but they did not accompany the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . The two who did not accompany the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ are Abu 'Inabah al-Khawlani and Abu Falij al-Anmari.
رَأَيْتُ سَبْعَةَ نَفَرٍ خَمْسَةً قَدْ صَحِبُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَاثْنَيْنِ قَدْ أَكَلَا الدَّمَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَلَمْ يَصْحَبَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَّا اللَّذَانِ لَمْ يَصْحَبَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَبُو عِنَبَةَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ وَأَبُو فَالِجٍ الْأَنْمَارِيُّ
[Machine] It was mentioned in the presence of Abi 'Anabah al-Khawlani that the martyrs were mentioned, so they mentioned the mutilated, the poisoned, and the drowned. Abu 'Anabah became angry and said, "Our companions narrated to us from our Prophet ﷺ that he said, 'The martyrs of Allah are the most trustworthy of His creation on the earth, they are either killed or die.'"
ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ أَبِي عِنَبَةَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ الشُّهَدَاءُ فَذَكَرُوا الْمَبْطُونَ وَالْمَطْعُونَ وَالنُّفَسَاءَ فَغَضِبَ أَبُو عِنَبَةَ وَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُ نَبِيِّنَا عَنْ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ اللهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ أُمَنَاءُ اللهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ من خَلْقِهِ قُتِلُوا أَوْ مَاتُوا
[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Allah will continue to establish in this religion a group of people who will implement it in their obedience to Him."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَزَالُ اللهُ ﷻ يَغْرِسُ فِي هَذَا الدِّينِ بِغَرْسٍ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُمْ فِي طَاعَتِهِ
