ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الصُّحْبَةِ كَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ، ثُمَّ أَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ

[Machine] I heard Abu Ruhum Al-Ghifari, one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ who pledged allegiance under the tree, saying: I joined the Prophet ﷺ in the Tabuk expedition. When we stopped for the night, I went near him and suddenly I felt drowsy and fell asleep. I woke up to find that my camel was close to his camel, and I was afraid that its hooves might hurt his feet due to the intensity of the darkness. So, I reprimanded my camel until my eyes became heavy during the night. Then, my camel collided with his camel and his legs stuck in my camel's stirrup, and his leg got injured. I woke up only when he said, "Hass." I raised my head and said, "O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me." He said, "Keep it secret." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up and asked me about those who were left behind from Banu Ghifar. I informed him, and he said, "What did the red horses do, the valiant ones?" I told him about their lagging behind, and he said, "What did the black horses, the swift ones or the short-legged ones with snub tails do?" Then, I remembered them among Banu Ghifar, and I did not mention them until I mentioned a few individuals who embraced Islam. So, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, those people are related to some individuals who embraced Islam, but they lagged behind." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What prevents them, when one of them lags behind, from carrying a load on his energetic camel for the sake of Allah? What hurts me the most is to see that the immigrants, the ansar, and the Muslims in general lag behind me."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رُهْمٍ الْغِفَارِيَّ يَقُولُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَبُوكَ فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ سِرْنَا لَيْلَةً فَسِرْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ وَأُلْقِيَ عَلَيَّ النُّعَاسُ فَطَفِقْتُ أَسْتَيْقِظُ وَقَدْ دَنَتْ رَاحِلَتِي مِنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَيُفْزِعُنِي دُنُوُّهَا خَشْيَةَ أَنْ أُصِيبَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ فَأَزْجُرُ رَاحِلَتِي حَتَّى غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَزَحَمَتْ رَاحِلَتِي رَاحِلَتَهُ وَرِجْلُهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ فَأَصَبْتُ رِجْلَهُ فَلَمْ أَسْتَيْقِظْ إِلَّا بِقَوْلِهِ «حَسَّ» فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «سِرْ» فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُنِي عَمَّنْ تَخَلَّفَ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَالَ «مَا فَعَلَ النَّفَرُ الْحُمْرُ الثِّطَاطُ» فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِتَخَلُّفِهِمْ قَالَ «مَا فَعَلَ النَّفَرُ السُّودُ الْجِعَادُ الْقِطَاطُ أَوِ الْقِصَارُ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ نَعَمٌ بِشَبَكَةِ شَرْخٍ؟ » فَتَذَكَّرْتُهُمْ فِي بَنِي غِفَارَ فَلَمْ أَذْكُرْهُمْ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ رَهْطًا مِنْ أَسْلَمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُولَئِكَ رَهْطٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ وَقَدْ تَخَلَّفُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَمَا يَمْنَعُ أُولَئِكَ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ عَلَى بَعْضِ إِبِلِهِ امْرَأً نَشِيطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَعَزَّ أَهْلِي عَلَيَّ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفَ عَنِّي الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارُ  

[Machine] He heard Abu Ruhm Al-Ghifari, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ who pledged allegiance under the tree, saying, "I accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Tabuk expedition. When we were traveling at night, I walked near him, and then I felt drowsy and accidentally got close to his camel, fearing that I might injure his leg with a thorn. So I delayed my camel until I overcame drowsiness during a part of the night. Then his camel nudged my camel's leg with a thorn, causing it to get injured. I didn't wake up until he said, 'Has.' So I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to seek forgiveness for me, and he said, 'Be silent.' Then the Prophet ﷺ woke up and asked me about those who lagged behind from the Banu Ghifari. So I informed him about their delay, then he asked me, 'What did the red camels with a streak of gray do?' So I told him about their delay, and he said, 'What did the black group do? Or the small dark-gray ones, who have blessings in their network of shade?' Then I mentioned the Banu Ghifari, but I didn't mention them until I mentioned a group of Muslims. So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, those are a group of Muslims who have lagged behind.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'So what prevents any of those who lagged behind from carrying a mounted man on a camel from his camels, who is active in the way of Allah? For it is more honorable for my family that the Muhajirun of Quraysh, the Ansar, and the Ghifar tribe lag behind rather than me.'"

[Machine] He heard Abu Ruham, who was one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, those who pledged allegiance under the tree, saying, "I participated in the Battle of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he set up camp in the Akhdar Valley, I secretly followed him and drowsiness overwhelmed me. I woke up and my camel was close to his. I was afraid that my foot would get caught in the reins, so I delayed my camel until I fell asleep again. My camel collided with the Messenger of Allah's camel and his foot was injured. I only woke up when he said 'Hass'. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' He said, 'Remain silent.' Then the Prophet ﷺ asked me about those who stayed behind from the Banu Ghifar tribe. I informed him, and he asked me, 'What did the red camels, tall and thin, do?' So I informed him of their delay. He asked me, 'What did the black camels, short and small, who have blessings tied to their saddles, do?' I remembered the Banu Ghifar tribe and did not mention them until I remembered that they are a clan from the Muslims who has also stayed behind. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'What prevented any of those people from carrying a man who is active on a camel from his own camels in the way of Allah? Because it would have been more beloved to me for the Muhajirun from the Quraysh, the Ansar, and the Ghifar to stay behind than my own family.' This narration was reported by Muhammad ibn Ishaq from Az-Zuhri, and it was transmitted by the nephew of Abu Ruham ibn Uqaymah's brother.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا رُهْمٍ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ يَقُولُ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكٍ فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ سَرَى لَيْلَةً بِالْأَخْضَرِ فَسِرْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ وَأُلْقِيَ عَلَيْنَا النُّعَاسُ فَطَفِقْتُ أَسْتَيْقِظُ وَقَدْ دَنَتْ رَاحِلَتِي مِنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَيُفْزِعُنِي دُنُوُّهَا حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ أُصِيبَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ فَأُؤَخِّرُ رَاحِلَتِي حَتَّى غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَزَاحَمَتْ رَاحِلَتِي رَاحِلَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْغَرْزِ فَأَصَابَتْ رِجْلَهُ فَلَمْ أَسْتَيْقِظْ إِلَّا بِقَوْلِهِ «حَسِّ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي فَقَالَ «سِرْ» فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَسْأَلُنِي عَمَّنْ تَخَلَّفَ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ وَهُوَ يَسْأَلُنِي «مَا فَعَلَ النَّفَرُ الْحُمُرُ الطِّوَالُ الثَّطَاطُ؟» فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِتَخَلُّفِهِمْ فَقَالَ «مَا فَعَلَ النَّفَرُ السُّودُ الْجَرَادُ الْقِصَارُ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ نِعَمٌ بِشَبَكَةٍ سُرُحٌ؟» قَالَ فَتَذَكَّرْتُ فِي بَنِي غِفَارٍ فَلَمْ أَذْكُرْهُمْ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّهُمْ رَهْطٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ وَقَدْ تَخَلَّفُوا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا مَنَعَ أَحَدَ أُولَئِكَ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ مِنْ إِبِلِهِ امْرَأً نَشِيطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ فَإِنَّ أَعَزَّ أَهْلِي عَلِيَّ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفَ عَنِّي الْمُهَاجِرُونَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَالْأَنْصَارُ وَأَسْلَمُ وَغِفَارٌ» «فَرَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَبَيْنَ ابْنِ أَخِي أَبِي رُهْمٍ ابْنُ أُكَيْمَةَ»  

[Machine] He (Abu Ruhamah) heard Kalthoom bin Huthayn, one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who pledged allegiance under the Tree, saying: I participated in the battle of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One night, I walked with him while we were in the Al-Akhdir area, close to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We became overcome with drowsiness, and I fell asleep with my camel close to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. As my camel approached his, I became startled out of fear that it may hit the leg of his camel. So, I pulled my camel away from his until my eyes closed for a while. It was late in the night, and my camel caught up with the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and its leg hit the saddle. I did not wake up until he said, 'Hass!'. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me', and he replied, 'Go on'. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me about those who had been left behind from the Banu Ghifar tribe. I informed him about them, and then he asked me, 'What did the red-footed brown camels do?' I explained their absence, and then he asked, 'What did the black-footed white camels do?' I said, 'By Allah, I do not know who they are among us'. He said, 'Rather, it is those who have abundant wealth tied to their saddles'. I then remembered them among the Banu Ghifar tribe, but I did not mention them until I remembered that they were allies of ours. So, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, they are allies of ours from the Muslims'. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What prevented any of those (wealthy people) when they were left behind from carrying a camel loaded with his mixed luggage for the sake of Allah's cause? Truly, I consider my Muhajirin from the Quraysh, Ansar, Ghifar, and Aslam to be above my own family''.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا رُهْمٍ كُلْثُومَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكٍ فَسِرْتُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَهُ وَنَحْنُ بِالْأَخْضَرِ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأُلْقِيَ عَلَيْنَا النُّعَاسُ وَجَعَلْتُ أَسْتَيْقِظُ وَقَدْ دَنَتْ رَاحِلَتِي مِنْ رَاحِلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيُفْزِعُنِي دُنُوُّهَا مِنْهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أُصِيبَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ فَطَفِقْتُ أَحُوزُ رَاحِلَتِي عَنْهُ حَتَّى غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ وَنَحْنُ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَزَاحَمَتْ رَاحِلَتِي رَاحِلَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ فَمَا اسْتَيْقَظْتُ إِلَّا بِقَوْلِهِ «حَسِّ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي فَقَالَ «سِرْ» فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُنِي عَمَّنْ تَخَلَّفَ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ فَأُخْبِرُهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ وَهُوَ يَسْأَلُنِي «مَا فَعَلَ النَّفَرُ الْحُمُرُ الطِّوَالُ الثَّطَاطُ؟» فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِتَخَلُّفِهِمْ قَالَ «فَمَا فَعَلَ السُّودُ الْجِعَادُ الْقِصَارُ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ وَاللهِ مَا أَعْرِفُ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنَّا قَالَ «بَلَى الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ نِعَمٌ بِشَبَكَةٍ شُدُخٌ؟» فَتَذَكَّرْتُهُمْ فِي بَنِي غِفَارٍ وَلَمْ أَذْكُرْهُمْ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّهُمْ رَهْطٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ كَانُوا حُلَفَاءَ فِينَا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُولَئِكَ رَهْطٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ كَانُوا حُلَفَاءَ فِينَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مَنَعَ أَحَدَ أُولَئِكَ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ مِنْ إِبِلِهِ امْرَأً نَشِيطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ إِنَّ أَعَزَّ أَهْلِي عَلِيَّ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفَ عَنِّي الْمُهَاجِرُونَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَالْأَنْصَارُ وَغِفَارٌ وَأَسْلَمُ»
