ahmad:23492Ismāʿīl > al-Jurayrī > Abū Ṣakhr al-ʿUqaylī > a man from al-Aʿrāb

[Machine] "I brought a cloak to the city during the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I finished with my business, I said, 'I will go and meet this man and hear from him.' He met me with Abu Bakr and Umar walking, so I followed them behind until they came upon a man from the Jews who was spreading the Torah, reciting it and comforting himself with it over the death of his son, saying that he was the most handsome and best of boys. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'I ask you by the One who revealed the Torah, do you find in your book my description and mention of me?' He replied with his head, saying 'No.' Then his son said, 'Yes, by the One who revealed the Torah, we find your description and mention of you in our book. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Keep the Jews away from your brother, then shroud and bury him, and pray upon him.'"  

أحمد:٢٣٤٩٢حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي صَخْرٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ قَالَ

جَلَبْتُ جَلُوبَةً إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْ بَيْعَتِي قُلْتُ لَأَلْقَيَنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَلَأَسْمَعَنَّ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَتَلَقَّانِي بَيْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ يَمْشُونَ فَتَبِعْتُهُمْ فِي أَقْفَائِهِمْ حَتَّى أَتَوْا عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ نَاشِرًا التَّوْرَاةَ يَقْرَؤُهَا يُعَزِّي بِهَا نَفْسَهُ عَلَى ابْنٍ لَهُ فِي الْمَوْتِ كَأَحْسَنِ الْفِتْيَانِ وَأَجْمَلِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْشُدُكَ بِالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ هَلْ تَجِدُ فِي كِتَابِكَ ذَا صِفَتِي وَمَخْرَجِي؟ فَقَالَ بِرَأْسِهِهَكَذَا أَيْ لَا فَقَالَ ابْنُهُ إِي وَالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ فِي كِتَابِنَا صِفَتَكَ وَمَخْرَجَكَ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَقِيمُوا الْيَهُودَ عَنْ أَخِيكُمْ ثُمَّ وَلِيَ كَفَنَهُ وَجَنَنَهُ وَالصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ
