[Machine] Yes, when I heard that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had left, I disliked his departure intensely. I left until I reached the vicinity of Rome and he (the Messenger) said (referring to me): "Yazid is in Baghdad until I visited Qaisar (Caesar). I disliked my position more than my dislike for his departure." He said (to me): "So I said, "By Allah, if I did not come to this man, if he is lying, he would not harm me, and if he is truthful, I would know." He said (to me): "So I came and visited him. When I approached, people said, "Adi ibn Hatim!" Adi ibn Hatim!" I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me: "O Adi ibn Hatim, accept Islam and you will be saved." I said, "Indeed, I am upon a religion." He said, "I know better about your religion than you." So I said, "Do you know more about my religion than me?" He said, "Yes, are you not from the Rukusiyah (Christian sect) while your people eat carrion?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Indeed, this is not lawful for you in your religion." He said (Adi ibn Hatim): "I did not return any statement to this." He said (the Prophet, ﷺ ): "Indeed, I know what is preventing you from Islam. You say, 'I only follow the weak among the people and those who have no power.' And the Arabs have forsaken them. Do you recognize 'Hayrah' (indecision)?" I said, "I have not seen it, but I have heard about it." He said, "By the One in whose Hand is my soul! Allah will bring this matter to completion until the 'Tha'irah' (confusion) leaves 'Hayrah' (indecision). So that she will circumambulate the Ka'bah without anyone's proximity. And Khosrau ibn Hormoz's treasures will be opened and spent until no one accepts them." Adi ibn Hatim said, "Khosrau ibn Hormoz?" He (the Prophet, ﷺ ) said, "Yes, Khosrau ibn Hormoz. And wealth will be so abundant that no one will accept it." Adi ibn Hatim said, "So, this 'Tha'irah' (confusion) will leave 'Hayrah' (indecision) so that she will circumambulate the Ka'bah without anyone's proximity. Verily, I was among those who opened Khosrau ibn Hormoz's treasures. By the One in whose hand is my soul! You will be the third, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said this."  

نَعَمْ لَمَّا بَلَغَنِي خُرُوجُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَرِهْتُ خُرُوجَهُ كَرَاهَةً شَدِيدَةً خَرَجْتُ حَتَّى وَقَعْتُ نَاحِيَةَ الرُّومِ وَقَالَ يَعْنِي يَزِيدَ بِبَغْدَادَ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ عَلَى قَيْصَرَ قَالَ فَكَرِهْتُ مَكَانِي ذَلِكَ أَشَدَّ مِنْ كَرَاهِيَتِي لِخُرُوجِهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَتَيْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَإِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا لَمْ يَضُرَّنِي وَإِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا عَلِمْتُ قَالَ فَقَدِمْتُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ قَالَ النَّاسُ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَدِيُّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي عَلَى دِينٍ قَالَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِدِينِكَ مِنْكَ فَقُلْتُ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِدِينِي مِنِّي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَلَسْتَ مِنَ الرَّكُوسِيَّةِ وَأَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ مِرْبَاعَ قَوْمِكَ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّ هَذَا لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ فِيدِينِكَ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَعْدُ أَنْ قَالَهَا فَتَوَاضَعْتُ لَهَا فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا الَّذِي يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ تَقُولُ إِنَّمَا اتَّبَعَهُ ضَعَفَةُ النَّاسِ وَمَنْ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ وَقَدْ رَمَتْهُمْ الْعَرَبُ أَتَعْرِفُ الْحِيرَةَ؟ قُلْتُ لَمْ أَرَهَا وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ بِهَا قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيُتِمَّنَّ اللهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ الظَّعِينَةُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ فِي غَيْرِ جِوَارِ أَحَدٍ وَلَيَفْتَحَنَّ كُنُوزَ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ قَالَ قُلْتُ كِسْرَى بْنُ هُرْمُزَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ كِسْرَى بْنُ هُرْمُزَ وَلَيُبْذَلَنَّ الْمَالُ حَتَّى لَا يَقْبَلَهُ أَحَدٌ قَالَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ فَهَذِهِ الظَّعِينَةُ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ فَتَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ فِي غَيْرِ جِوَارٍ وَلَقَدْ كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ فَتَحَ كُنُوزَ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَكُونَنَّ الثَّالِثَةُ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ قَالَهَا  

[Machine] I was narrated to by 'Adi ibn Hatim, while he was by my side in Kufa. So I approached him and said, "I heard a narrative about you, so tell me about it." He said, "When the Prophet ﷺ was sent, I detested him more than anything I ever detested. Then I traveled to the farthest lands of the Arabs, and I detested him even more. Then I traveled to the land of the Romans, and I despised him even more. So I said to myself, 'I will go to this man and if he is truthful, I will listen to him. But if he is a liar, then it won't harm me.' So I went to him and asked him. He said, 'You are asking about a matter that is not permissible for you in your religion.'"

Then it was as if I perceived hesitation from him, so he said, "O 'Adi ibn Hatim, embrace Islam, you will be safe." He repeated this twice. Then he said, "It seems to me, or maybe I suspect, or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Perhaps what prevents you from accepting Islam is that you see the people around us, who are high-ranking individuals.' Then he said, 'Have you seen al-Hirah?' I said, 'No, but I am aware of its location.' He said, 'It is likely that al-Zuayna will move from al-Hirah to another place without being besieged, and it will encompass the Kaaba. And the treasures of Kisra will be opened for us. I said, 'Kisra, the son of Hurmuz?' He said, 'Yes, Kisra, the son of Hurmuz. And soon, a person will not find anything of his own wealth to give as charity.'" He also said, "I saw al-Zuayna move, and I swear that the second promise will be fulfilled, as stated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and it is the truth."  

عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ وَهُوَ إِلَى جَنْبِي بِالْكُوفَةِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ حَدِيثٌ حَدَّثَتْهُ عَنْكَ فَحَدِّثْنِي بِهِ قَالَ لَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَرِهْتُهُ أَشَدَّ مَا كَرِهْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ فَأَتَيْتُ أَقْصَى أَرْضِ الْعَرَبِ فَكَرِهْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ أَرْضَ الرُّومِ وَكُنْتُ أَكْرَهُهُ مِنْ كَرَاهَتِي لِمَا قَبْلُ أَوْ أَشَدَّ فَقُلْتُ لَآتِيَنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَإِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا فَلَأَسْمَعَنَّ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا فَمَا هُوَ بِضَارِّيِّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّكَ لَتَسْأَلُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ فِي دِينِكَ» فَكَأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ لَهُ عَلَى غَضَاضَةٍ فَقَالَ «يَا عَدِيُّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ» مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ قَدْ أُرَانِي أَوْ قَدْ أَظُنُّ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَلَعَلَّكَ إِنَّمَا يَمْنَعُكَ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ أَنَّكَ تَرَى مِنْ حَوْلِي خَصَاصَةً إِنَّكَ تَرَى النَّاسَ عَلَيْنَا أَلَبًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ رَأَيْتَ الْحِيرَةَ؟» قُلْتُ لَمْ أَرَهَا وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ مَكَانَهَا قَالَ «فَلَيُوشِكَنَّ أَنَّ الظَّعِينَةَ تَرْحَلُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ بِغَيْرِ جِوَارٍ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَلَيُفْتَحَنَّ عَلَيْنَا كُنُوزُ كِسْرَى» قُلْتُ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ قَالَ «كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ وَيُوشِكُ أَنْ لَا يَجِدَ الرَّجُلُ مَالَهُ صَدَقَةً» وَقَالَ «فَرَأَيْتُ الظَّعِينَةَ تَرْحَلُ وَأَحْلِفُ لَيُفْتَحَنَّ الثَّانِيَةَ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ»  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the marketplace of Dhi Al-Majaz wearing a red robe, and he was saying, "O people, say there is no deity but Allah, and you will be successful." A man was following him, throwing stones at him, causing his back and heels to bleed, while saying, "O people, do not obey him, for he is a liar." I asked, "Who is this?" It was said, "He is the son of Abd Al-Muttalib." I then asked, "Who is the one who follows him and throws stones at him?" It was said, "He is Abd Al-Uzza, the father of Lahab." When Islam emerged, we left until we reached a place near Madinah, and we had with us a container of dates. While we were sitting, a man approached us wearing two white garments and greeted us, asking, "Where are the people coming from?" We said, "From Rabdah." He asked, "Do you sell this camel?" We said, "Yes." He asked, "For how much?" We replied, "For such and such amount of dates." He said, "I will take it." He took the camel and did not haggle with us. Then, he disappeared within the walls of Madinah, and we whispered to each other, wondering if he knew the value of our camel. The man with the container said, "Do not whisper among yourselves, for I saw the face of a man whom none of you could belittle. I have never seen anything resembling the moon on the night of a full moon as his face." Later that evening, a man approached us and greeted us, saying, "I am the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah, and he says, 'You may eat until you are satiated, and trade until you are content.'" We ate until we were full and traded until we were content. The next morning, we arrived at Madinah, and there stood the Messenger of Allah, delivering a sermon from the pulpit, saying, "The hand that gives is higher than the one that receives, and start with those you are responsible for, your mother and father, then your sister and brother, and then the closest ones." A man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Tha'laba ibn Yarbua who killed so and so in the age of ignorance. Take our revenge from him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands up, and I saw the whiteness of his armpits as he said, "No, a mother cannot seek revenge for her child, no, a mother cannot seek revenge for her child."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تُفْلِحُوا» وَرَجُلٌ يَتْبَعُهُ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَقَدْ أَدْمَى عُرْقُوبَيْهِ وَكَعْبَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تُطِيعُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قِيلَ هَذَا غُلَامُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قُلْتُ فَمَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يَتْبَعُهُ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ؟ قَالَ هَذَا عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى أَبُو لَهَبٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَ الْإِسْلَامُ خَرَجْنَا فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَعَنَا ظَعِينَةٌ لَنَا فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ قُعُودٌ إِذْ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَبْيَضَانِ فَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ؟ قُلْنَا مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ قَالَ وَمَعَنَا جَمَلٌ قَالَ أَتَبِيعُونَ هَذَا الْجَمَلَ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ بِكَمْ؟ قُلْنَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ قَالَ فَأَخَذَهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَنْقِصْنَا قَالَ قَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ ثُمَّ تَوَارَى بِحِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَتَلَاوَمْنَا فِيمَا بَيْنَنَا فَقُلْنَا أَعْطَيْتُمْ جَمَلَكُمْ رَجُلًا لَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَتِ الظَّعِينَةُ لَا تَلَاوَمُوا فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَحْقِرَكُمْ * مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِالْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَشِيِّ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا وَقَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا حَتَّى تَشْبَعُوا وَتَكْتَالُوا حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفُوا» قَالَ فَأَكَلْنَا حَتَّى شَبِعْنَا وَاكْتَلْنَا حَتَّى اسْتَوْفَيْنَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «يَدُ الْمُعْطِي يَدُ الْعُلْيَا وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ أُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ ثُمَّ أَدْنَاكَ أَدْنَاكَ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ قَتَلُوا فُلَانًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَخُذْ لَنَا بِثَأْرِنَا مِنْهُ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ وَقَالَ «أَلَا لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ أَلَا لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ»  

[Machine] From the narration of Adi bin Hatim, who was next to me and I asked him about it. He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sent to the place where he was sent, and I hated him more than I ever hated anything before. So I set off until I was in the farthest part of the earth from Rome. I said to myself, 'If I see this man and he is lying, he will not be able to deceive me, and if he is truthful, I will follow him.' So I approached, and when I reached the city, the people looked at me and said, 'Adi bin Hatim has come, Adi bin Hatim has come.' The Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'O Adi bin Hatim, embrace Islam, you will be safe.' I said, 'I have a religion.' He said, 'I know more about your religion than you do. Haven’t you been a leader of your people?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Do you eat from the Sadaqah (charity)?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'That is not permissible for you in your religion.' I was shaken by this, and then he said, 'O Adi bin Hatim, embrace Islam and you will be safe. I see, or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, there is no reason for you not to embrace Islam when you see the signs around me. You are soon to leave the state of doubt without living in a state of confusion, to go around the Kaaba, and treasures from Kisra ibn Hurmuz will be opened for us." Adi bin Hatim said, "I saw the state of doubt leaving me, without living in a state of confusion, until I went around the Kaaba. I was among the first riders who rushed to the cities for the treasures of Kisra ibn Hurmuz. I swear by Allah, the third thing that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me will come true."
