[Machine] I heard Hudhaifa say that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , narrated to us parables in the amounts of one, three, five, seven, nine, and eleven. He said, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , gave us a parable of one of them and left the rest." He said, "There were people who were weak and oppressed, and they were fought and harmed by people who were strong and aggressive. So Allah revealed the people of weakness to them, and they sought help from their enemies, and they became dominant over them, which made Allah angry with them until the day they face Him."  

أحمد:٢٣٤٦٢حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَجْلَحُ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ حُذَيْفَةَ يَقُولُ ضَرَبَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْثَالًا وَاحِدًا وَثَلَاثَةً وَخَمْسَةً وَسَبْعَةً وَتِسْعَةً وَأَحَدَ عَشَرَ قَالَ فَضَرَبَلَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْهَا مَثَلًا وَتَرَكَ سَائِرَهَا قَالَ إِنَّ قَوْمًا كَانُوا أَهْلَ ضَعْفٍ وَمَسْكَنَةٍ قَاتَلَهُمْ أَهْلُ تَجَبُّرٍ وَعِدَاءٍ فَأَظْهَرَ اللهُ أَهْلَ الضَّعْفِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَعَمَدُوا إِلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَاسْتَعْمَلُوهُمْ وَسَلَّطُوهُمْ فَأَسْخَطُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ

"عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: ضَرَبَ لَنَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ مِثالًا وَاحِدًا، وَثَلَاثَةً، وَخَمْسَةً، وَسَبْعَةً، وَتِسْعَةً، وَأَحَدَ عَشَرَ، وَفَسَّرَ لَنَا مِنْهَا وَاحِدًا وَسَكَتَ عَنْ سَائِرهَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ قَوْمًا كانُوا أَهْلَ ضَعْفٍ وَمَسْكَنَةٍ، فَقاتَلُوا قَوْمًا أَهْلَ حِلْيَةٍ وَعدَاءٍ فَظَهَرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ وَاسْتَعْلَوْهُمْ وَسَلَّطُوهُمْ فَأَسْخَطُوا رَبَّهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ".

"إِنَّ قَوْمًا كانوا أهْلَ ضَعْفٍ وَمَسكنَةٍ قَاتَلَهُم أَهْلُ تَجَبُّر وعداوة، فَأَظهَرَهُمْ اللَّهُ عليهم، يعنى أهلَ الضَّعْفِ فَعَمَدُوا إِلى أَهْلِ التَّجَبُرِ، وَهُمْ عَدُوُّهُمْ، فاسْتَعْمَلوهُمْ وسلَّطُوهُمْ، فَأَسْخَطُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلى يَوْمِ القِيَامَةِ".
