35. Wills and Testimony
٣٥۔ كِتَابُ الْوَصَايَا
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Farewell Pilgrimage, he ordered the people to prepare themselves with him. So we prepared ourselves and I was afflicted with this illness, which was measles or smallpox. I said, "Whatever Allah wills has happened to us." I and Abu Ma'qil were both affected by this illness. As for Abu Ma'qil, he died from it. We had a camel that was filled with dates for us. It was the one we intended to perform Hajj on. Abu Ma'qil donated it in the cause of Allah. We were occupied with what had afflicted us and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left. When he finished his Hajj, I went to him when my pain subsided. He asked me, "O Umm Ma'qil, what prevented you from going out with us in this expedition?" I said, "By Allah, we had prepared for it, but this illness afflicted us. Abu Ma'qil died from it and I was also affected by it. When I recovered, we had a camel that we wanted to perform Hajj on. Abu Ma'qil advised me concerning it in the cause of Allah." He said, "Why didn't you go with it? Verily, Hajj is part of the cause of Allah. But since you missed this Hajj with us, perform Umrah in Ramadan as it is as a Hajj." She said, "From then on, whenever I used to say 'Hajj,' it meant Hajj and 'Umrah' meant Umrah. Because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said about it, 'I do not know if it is specific to me for the Hajj I missed or for the people in general.'" Yusuf said, "So I narrated this Hadith to Marwan ibn Al-Hakam, who was the governor of Medina during the time of Mu'awiyah. He asked me, 'Who heard this Hadith with you?' I said, 'Ma'qil ibn Abi Ma'qil, who was a Bedouin man.' He sent for him and narrated to him what I had narrated to him. I said, 'O Marwan, she is still alive in her house. By Allah, he was not satisfied with our narration until he traveled to her among the people and entered upon her so that she narrated this Hadith to him.'"
لَمَّا حَجَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَتَهَيَّأُوا مَعَهُ فَتَجَهَّزْنَا فَأَصَابَتْنِي هَذِهِ الْقُرْحَةُ؛ الْحَصْبَةُ أَوِ الْجُدَرِيُّ قَالَتْ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ فَأَصَابَنِي مَرَضٌ وَأَصَابَ أَبَا مَعْقِلٍ فَأَمَّا أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ فَهَلَكَ فِيهَا قَالَتْ وَكَانَ لَنَا جَمَلٌ يَنْضَحُ عَلَيْهِ نَخَلَاتٍ لَنَا هُوَ وَكَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَحُجَّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ فَجَعَلَهُ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ وَشُغِلْنَا بِمَا أَصَابَنَا وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ حِجَّتِهِ جِئْتُ حِينَ تَمَاثَلْتُ مِنْ وَجَعِي فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ مَعْقِلٍ مَا مَنَعَكِ أَنْ تَخْرُجِي مَعَنَا فِي وَجْهِنَا هَذَا؟ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ تَهَيَّأْنَا لِذَلِكَ فَأَصَابَتْنَا هَذِهِ الْقُرْحَةُ فَهَلَكَ فِيهَا أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ وَأَصَابَنِي مِنْهَا مَرَضٌ فَهَذَا حِينَ صَحِحْتُ مِنْهَا وَكَانَ لَنَا جَمَلٌ هُوَ الَّذِي نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَخْرُجَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَوْصَى بِهِ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ فَهَلَّا خَرَجْتِ عَلَيْهِ؛ فَإِنَّ الْحَجَّ مِنْ سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَمَا إِذْ فَاتَتْكِ هَذِهِ الْحِجَّةُ مَعَنَا فَاعْتَمِرِي عُمْرَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ فَإِنَّهَا كَحِجَّةٍ قَالَ فَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ الْحَجُّ حَجٌّ وَالْعُمْرَةُ عُمْرَةٌ وَقَدْ قَالَ فِي هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَدْرِي أَخَاصَّةً لِي لِمَا فَاتَنِي مِنَ الْحَجِّ أَمْ هِيَ لِلنَّاسِ عَامَّةً قَالَ يُوسُفُ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ وَهُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي زَمَنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ مَنْ سَمِعَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مَعَكَ مِنْهَا؟ فَقُلْتُ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ أَبِي مَعْقِلٍ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ بَدَوِيٌّ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَرْوَانُ فَحَدَّثَهُ بِمِثْلِ مَا حَدَّثْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا مَرْوَانُ إِنَّهَا حَيَّةٌ فِي دَارِهَا بَعْدُ فَوَاللهِ مَا اطْمَأَنَّ إِلَى حَدِيثِنَا حَتَّى رَكِبَ إِلَيْهَا فِي النَّاسِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَحَدَّثَتْهُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ
[Machine] And he said, "Woe to you! Is this not the way of Allah? This is the belief of Ibn Umar, and it has been narrated from Abu Darda that she appears in battles."
وَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ أَوَلَيْسَ بِسَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ هَذَا مَذْهَبٌ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ أَنَّهَا تَخْرُجُ فِي الْغَزْوِ
[Machine] Indeed, Hajj is one of the ways of Allah, so make it a part of it.
إِنَّ الْحَجَّ مِنْ سَبِيلِ اللهِ؛ فَاجْعَلْهُ فِيهِ
