[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited this verse to me, "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out" [Quran 65:2], until he completed the verse. Then he said, "O Abu Dharr, if the people were to take hold of this verse, it would be sufficient for them." He continued reciting it and repeating it to me until I fell asleep. Then he said, "O Abu Dharr, what would you do if you were expelled from the city?" I said, "I would go to the vastness and call for help until I become like a dove from the pigeons of Makkah." He asked, "And what would you do if you were expelled from Makkah?" I said, "I would go to the vastness and call for help until I reach Sham and the holy land." He asked, "And what would you do if you were expelled from Sham?" I said, "Then, by the One who sent you with the truth, I would place my sword on my shoulder." He asked, "Would there be anything better than that?" I said, "Is there anything better than that?" He said, "You would listen and obey, even if the ruler was an Abyssinian slave."
جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتْلُو عَلَيَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا} [الطلاق 2] حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ أَخَذُوا بِهَا لَكَفَتْهُمْ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَتْلُوهَا وَيُرَدِّدُهَا عَلَيَّ حَتَّى نَعَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِنْ أُخْرِجْتَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِلَى السَّعَةِ وَالدَّعَةِ أَنْطَلِقُ حَتَّى أَكُونَ حَمَامَةً مِنْ حَمَامِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِنْ أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِلَى السَّعَةِ وَالدَّعَةِ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ قَالَ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِنْ أُخْرِجْتَ مِنَ الشَّامِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِذَنْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ أَضَعَ سَيْفِي عَلَى عَاتِقِي قَالَ أَوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَوَخَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَبْدًا حَبَشِيًّا
