1. Book of Faith (2/6)
١۔ كِتَابُ الْإِيمَانِ ص ٢
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah will elevate the rank of a servant through his good character, just as He elevates him through fasting and prayer." This is according to the condition of being a Muslim.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لِيُبَلِّغُ الْعَبْدَ بِحُسْنِ خَلْقِهِ دَرَجَةَ الصَّوْمِ وَالصَّلَاةِ» على شرط مسلم
[Machine] O Abu Abdur Rahman, indeed, we are descendants of Al-Mughira, a people who possess arrogance. Have you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say anything about this? Abdullah ibn Umar said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No man who has arrogance in himself and walks arrogantly will meet Allah while Allah is angry with him.'"
لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّا بَنُو الْمُغِيرَةِ قَوْمٌ فِينَا نَخْوَةٌ فَهَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَعَاظَمُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَيَخْتَالُ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ إِلَّا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I not inform you about the people of Paradise? They are the meek and weak. And the people of Hellfire are every haughty, arrogant, and contemptuous person."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ الْمَغْلُوبُونَ الضُّعَفَاءُ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ كُلُّ جَعْظَرِيٍّ جَوَّاظٍ مُسْتَكْبِرٍ»
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ in what he narrated from his Lord, the Almighty, he said, "Pride is My cloak, so anyone who competes with Me over My cloak, I will break it."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا يَحْكِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ قَالَ «الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي رِدَائِي قَصَمْتُهُ»
[Machine] The translation of the sentence into English is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to ride a donkey, wear woolen clothing, tend to sheep, and visit the welcoming of guests."
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْكَبُ الْحِمَارَ وَيَلْبَسُ الصُّوفَ وَيَعْتَقِلُ الشَّاةَ وَيَأْتِي مُرَاعَاةَ الضَّيْفِ» على شرطهما
[Machine] The translation in English is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to ride a donkey, wear wool clothes, free sheep, and visit guests."
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْكَبُ الْحِمَارَ وَيَلْبَسُ الصُّوفَ وَيَعْتَقِلُ الشَّاةَ وَيَأْتِي مُرَاعَاةَ الضَّيْفِ»
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "Whoever gives up wearing clothes, while being able to do so, out of humility for Allah, Allah will call him to the heads of creation until he is given a choice in the garments of faith, and he can wear whichever he wishes." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ تَرَكَ اللِّبَاسَ وَهُوَقَادِرٌ عَلَيْهِ تَوَاضُعًا لِلَّهِ دَعَاهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ حَتَّى يُخَيَّرَ فِي حُلَلِ الْإِيمَانِ يَلْبَسُ أَيَّهَا شَاءَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
[Machine] He took off his shoes, put them on his shoulder, and took hold of the reins of his camel. He then led her through the crowd. Abu Ubaydah said, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, you are doing this? You are taking off your shoes and putting them on your shoulder, and taking hold of the reins of your camel and leading her through the crowd? It pleases me that the people of the city are honoring you." 'Umar said, "Oh, it isn't that anyone other than you said this, Abu Ubaydah. I only did it so that I could be an example for the nation of Muhammad ﷺ . Verily, we were the most humiliated people and Allah honored us with Islam. So, whatever we seek honor in, other than what Allah has honored us with, Allah will humiliate us."
عَنْهَا وَخَلَعَ خُفَّيْهِ فَوَضَعَهُمَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ وَأَخَذَ بِزِمَامِ نَاقَتِهِ فَخَاضَ بِهَا الْمَخَاضَةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْتَ تَفْعَلُ هَذَا تَخْلَعُ خُفَّيْكَ وَتَضَعُهُمَا عَلَى عَاتِقِكَ وَتَأْخُذُ بِزِمَامِ نَاقَتِكَ وَتَخُوضُ بِهَا الْمَخَاضَةَ؟ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْبَلَدِ اسْتَشْرَفُوكَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «أَوَّهْ لَمْ يَقُلْ ذَا غَيْرُكَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ جَعَلْتُهُ نَكَالًا لَأُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ إِنَّا كُنَّا أَذَلَّ قَوْمٍ فَأَعَزَّنَا اللَّهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ فَمَهْمَا نَطْلُبُ الْعِزَّةَ بِغَيْرِ مَا أَعَزَّنَا اللَّهُ بِهِ أَذَلَّنَا اللَّهُ»
[Machine] When Umar arrived in Sham, the soldiers met him while he was wearing a garment and sandals and had a turban on his head. He was holding the reins of his camel as he crossed the water. Someone said to him, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, the soldiers and the elite of Sham meet you while you are in this state?" Umar replied, "Verily, we are a nation whom Allah has honored with Islam, and we will not seek honor through anything else." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this in the summary translation.
لَمَّا قَدِمَ عُمَرُ الشَّامَ لَقِيَهُ الْجُنُودُ وَعَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ وَخُفَّانِ وَعِمَامَةٌ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِرَأْسِ بَعِيرِهِ يَخُوضُ الْمَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَعْنِي قَائِلٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تَلْقَاكَ الْجُنُودُ وَبَطَارِقَةُ الشَّامِ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى حَالِكَ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «إِنَّا قَوْمٌ أَعَزَّنَا اللَّهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ فَلَنْ نَبْتَغِيَ الْعِزَّةَ بِغَيْرِهِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
The Prophet ﷺ said: Those who do not show mercy to our young ones and do not realise the right of our elders are not from us. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4943)
النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَرْحَمْ صَغِيرَنَا وَيَعْرِفْ حَقَّ كَبِيرِنَا»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Blessings are with your elders."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْبَرَكَةُ مَعَ أَكَابِرِكُمْ»
"O Allah, bear witness that I have issued a warning concerning (failure to fulfill) the rights of the two weak ones: Orphans and women.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3678)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أُحَرِّجُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقَّ الضَّعِيفَيْنِ الْيَتِيمِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ»
[Machine] "He gathered a group of people and met Aba Dhar while he was near the middle pillar and the people were around him. So, I sat with him until my knees touched his knees. I forgot the mentioned conversation and everything I wanted to ask him slipped away from me. So, I raised my head towards the sky and tried to remember. I said, 'O Aba Dhar, guide me towards an action that, if a servant performs it, they would enter Paradise.' He said, 'The Prophet ﷺ said: "Believe in Allah."' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is there an action that accompanies faith?' He said, 'He should be content with whatever Allah has provided for him.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what if he has nothing?' He said, 'He should speak kindly.' I said, 'What if he is unable to speak?' He said, 'Then, let him help a person in need.' I said, 'What if he is weak and powerless?' He said, 'Then, let him do good to others by joining their good actions.' I said, 'What if he is crippled?' Then, he turned towards me and said, 'What do you want for your companion?' I said, 'Let him refrain from hurting others.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, indeed all of this seems easy.' He said, 'By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, there is no characteristic that a servant acts upon seeking the face of Allah, except that it will hold his hand on the Day of Resurrection and not leave him until it enters him into Paradise.'"
فَجَمَعَ حَدِيثًا فَلَقِيَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ الْجَمْرَةِ الْوُسْطَى وَحَوْلَهُ النَّاسُ قَالَ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَسَّتْ رُكْبَتِي رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَنَسِيتُ ذَلِكَ الْحَدِيثَ وَتَفَلَّتَ مِنِّي كُلُّ شَيْءٍ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَذْكُرُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلَ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مَعَ الْإِيمَانِ عَمَلًا؟ قَالَ «يَرْضَخُ مِمَّا رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ مُعْدَمًا لَا شَيْءَ لَهُ؟ قَالَ «يَقُولُ مَعْرُوفًا بِلِسَانِهِ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ عَيِيًّا لَا يَبْلُغُ عَنْهُ لِسَانُهُ؟ قَالَ «فَلْيُعِنْ مَغْلُوبًا» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ؟ قَالَ «فَلْيَصْنَعْ لِأَخْرَقَ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَخْرَقَ؟ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَدَعَ فِي صَاحِبِكَ خَيْرًا؟» قَالَ «يَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ أَذَاهُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا لَيَسِيرٌ كُلُّهُ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا مِنْهُنَّ خَصْلَةٌ يَعْمَلُ بِهَا عَبْدٌ يَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أَخَذَتْ بِيَدِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَمْ تُفَارِقْهُ حَتَّى تُدْخِلَهُ االْجَنَّةَ»
The Prophet ﷺ said: There is hesitation in everything except in the actions of the next world. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4810)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «التُّؤَدَةُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَيْرٌ إِلَّا فِي عَمَلِ الْآخِرَةِ»
“When Allah created Adam, He breathed the soul into him, then he sneezed and said: ‘All praise is due to Allah.’ So he praised Allah by His permission. Then His Lord said to him: ‘May Allah have mercy upon you O Adam. Go to those angels – to that gathering of them sitting – so say: 'As-Salamu alaikum.' They said 'Wa Alaikas-Salamu Wa Rahmatullah’. Then he returned to his Lord, He said: ‘This is your greeting and the greeting of your children among each other.’ Then Allah said to him – while His Two Hands were closed – ‘Choose which of them you wish.’ He said: ‘I chose the right My Lord and both of the Hands of my Lord are right, blessed.’ Then He extended it, and there was Adam and his offspring in it.’ So he said: ‘What are these O my Lord?’ He said: ‘These are your offspring?’ Each one of them had his age written between his eyes. But among them there was a man who was the most illuminating of them – or among the most illuminated of them. He said: ‘O Lord! Who is this?’ He said: ‘This is your son Dawud, I wrote forty years for him.’ He said: ‘O Lord! Add to his age.’ He said: ‘That is what I have written for him.’ He said: ‘O Lord! Give him sixty of my years.’ He said: ‘So you shall have it.’” He said: “Then, he resided in Paradise as long as Allah willed, then he was cast from it, so Adam was counting for himself.” He said: “So the Angel of death came to him, and Adam said to him: ‘You are hasty, one-thousand years were written for me.’ He said: ‘Of course! But you gave sixty years to your son Dawud.’ So he rejected, and his offspring rejected, and he forgot, and his offspring forgot.” He said: “So ever since that day, what is written and witnessed has been decreed.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3367)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ الرُّوحَ عَطَسَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّكَ يَا آدَمُ وَقَالَ لَهُ يَا آدَمُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُولَئِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِلَى مَلَأٍ مِنْهُمْ جُلُوسٍ فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَذَهَبَ فَقَالُوا وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ بَنِيكَ وَبَنِيهِمْ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَيَدَاهُ مَقْبُوضَتَانِ اخْتَرْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ فَقَالَ اخْتَرْتُ يَمِينَ رَبِّي وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْ رَبِّي يَمِينٌ مُبَارَكَةٌ ثُمَّ بَسَطَهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا آدَمُ وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ فَقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالَ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ فَإِذَا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مَكْتُوبٌ عُمْرُهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَإِذَا فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَضْوَؤُهُمْ أَوْ قَالَ مِنْ أَضْوَئِهِمْ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ لَهُ إِلَّا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ يَا رَبِّ زِدْ فِي عُمْرِهِ قَالَ ذَاكَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ لَهُ قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَهُ مِنْ عُمْرِي سِتِّينَ سَنَةً قَالَ أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أُسْكِنَ الْجَنَّةَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أُهْبِطَ مِنْهَا آدَمُ يَعُدُّ لِنَفْسِهِ فَأَتَاهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُ آدَمُ قَدْ عَجِلْتَ قَدْ كُتِبَ لِي أَلْفُ سَنَةٍ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنَّكَ جَعَلْتَ لِابْنِكَ دَاوُدَ مِنْهَا سِتِّينَ سَنَةً فَجَحَدَ فَجَحَدَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ وَنَسِيَ فَنَسِيَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ أُمْرِنَا بِالْكِتَابِ وَالشُّهُودِ «»
This tradition has also been narrated on the authority of ‘A’ishah through a different chain. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 99)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُصحيح
[Machine] "To be solitude for Ibrahim, words for Musa, and visions for Muhammad ﷺ ."
أَنْ يَكُونَ الْخُلَّةُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَالْكَلَامُ لِمُوسَى وَالرُّؤْيَةُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ»
[Machine] Mohammed ﷺ saw his Lord, and he had a third witness with a reliable chain of narrators.
رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ رَبَّهُ «» وَلَهُ شَاهِدٌ ثَالِثٌ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ
«قَدْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ رَبَّهُ»
[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic text into English is: "That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saw Gabriel (Jibril), peace be upon him, and these news that I mentioned are all authentic, and Allah knows best."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى جَبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ «وَهَذِهِ الْأَخْبَارُ الَّتِي ذَكَرْتُهَا صَحِيحَةٌ كُلُّهَا وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "To the prophets belong golden pulpits." He said, "They sit and my pulpit remains empty. I do not sit or recline on it, standing before my Lord, fearing that He may raise me up to Paradise and leave my nation behind. So I say, 'O Lord, my nation, my nation.' And Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, says, 'O Muhammad, what do you want me to do with your nation?' So I say, 'O Lord, hasten their reckoning.' So they are called and held accountable. Among them are those who enter Paradise by the mercy of Allah, and among them are those who enter Paradise by my intercession. And I will continue to intercede until I am given a parchment with the names of men who have been sent to the Fire, and I will present it to Malik, the guardian of the Fire. He will say, 'O Muhammad, have you left anything in the Fire due to the anger of your Lord against your nation?' Then I will give him the remaining portion."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لِلْأَنْبِيَاءِ مَنَابِرُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ» قَالَ فَيَجْلِسُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَبْقَى مِنْبَرِي لَا أَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ لَا أَقْعُدُ عَلَيْهِ قَائِمًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَبِّي مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ بِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَيُبْقِي أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ بِأُمَّتِكَ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ عَجِّلْ حِسَابَهُمْ فَيُدْعَى بِهِمْ فَيُحَاسَبُونَ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَتِي فَمَا أَزَالُ أُشَفَّعُ حَتَّى أُعْطَى صِكَاكًا بِرِجَالٍ قَدْ بُعِثَ بِهِمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَآتِي مَالِكًا خَازِنَ النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا تَرَكْتَ لِلنَّارِ لِغَضَبِ رَبِّكَ فِي أُمَّتِكَ مِنْ بَقِيَّةٍ «»
[Machine] I heard Awf ibn Malik Al-Ashja'i say: "We stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a place for the night. I woke up during the night, and found that there was something longer than the back of my saddle that had stuck to the ground, due to every person and his camel being stuck to the ground. So I walked through the people until I came to the sleeping place of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , but he was not there. I placed my hand on his bed and found that it was cold. I went through the people and said, 'Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.' The news of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spread until I left the whole camp and saw a darkness. I threw a stone and moved towards the darkness. Then I saw Mu'adh ibn Jabal and Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah in front of me, and there was a sound between us like the clapping of sandals or the sound of pebbles when they are hit by the wind. Some of us said to others, 'O people, remain steady until the morning comes or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ comes to you.' So we remained as long as Allah willed, then he called out, 'Did Mu'adh ibn Jabal, Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah, and Awf ibn Malik come?' So we said, 'Yes.' He came towards us and we came out to him. We did not ask him anything, nor did he inform us anything, until he sat on his bed and said, 'Do you know what my Lord has chosen for me tonight?' We said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Indeed, He has chosen to give me a choice between having half of my Ummah enter Paradise or intercession, and I have chosen intercession.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah to make us among its people.' He said, 'It is for every Muslim.'"
سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيَّ يَقُولُ نَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلًا فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا لَا أَرَى شَيْئًا أَطْوَلَ مِنْ مُؤْخِرَةِ رَحْلِي قَدْ لَصَقَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ وَبَعِيرُهُ بِالْأَرْضِ فَقُمْتُ أَتَخَلَّلُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى وَقَعْتُ إِلَى مَضْجَعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا هُوَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بَارِدٌ فَخَرَجْتُ أَتَخَلَّلُ النَّاسَ وَأَقُولُ {إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ} [البقرة 156] ذُهِبَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْعَسْكَرِ كُلِّهِ فَنَظَرْتُ سَوَادًا فَرَمَيْتُ بِحَجَرٍ فَمَضَيْتُ إِلَى السَّوَادِ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَإِذَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا صَوْتٌ كَدَوِيِّ الرَّحَا أَوْ كَصَوْتِ الْهَضْبَاءِ حِينَ يُصِيبُهَا الرِّيحُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ يَا قَوْمِ اثْبُتُوا حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا أَوْ يَأْتِيَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَبِثْنَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ نَادَى «أَثَمَّ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَعَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ؟» فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَخَرَجْنَا لَا نَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَلَا يُخْبِرُنَا حَتَّى قَعَدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَقَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا خَيَّرَنِي بِهِ رَبِّي اللَّيْلَةَ؟» فَقُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّهُ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ نِصْفَ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ «هِيَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ»
[Machine] "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during some of his journeys. He mentioned the hadith" and as for the hadith of Hisham Al-Dastuway."
«كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ» فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ «وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ»
[Machine] "We were with the Prophet ﷺ ," then he mentioned the hadith at length, "the hadith of Qatadah."
«كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ» فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ «حَدِيثُ قَتَادَةَ
[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in some of his expeditions, and one night we ended up not finding the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his place. Suddenly, the camels were tied up, and then I saw Mu'adh ibn Jabal. He called out to me and I responded to him, asking, "Where is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "Behind me." This Hadith is authentic from the narration of Abu Qilabah with the condition of the two Sheikhs. And this Hadith has been narrated from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari from Awf ibn Malik with a valid chain of narrators upon the condition of the two Sheikhs, and they did not compile it. According to Muslim.
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَانْتَهَيْنَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَلَمْ نَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَكَانَهُ وَإِذَا الْإِبِلُ قَدْ وَضَعَتْ جِرَانَهَا فَإِذَا أَنَا بِحِبَالٍ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فَتَصَدَّى لِي وَتَصَدَّيْتُ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ وَرَائِي وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ «وَهَذَا صَحِيحٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ» وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ «بِإِسْنَادٍ صَحِيحٍ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» مر متنه قال وهذا على شرط مسلم
[Machine] On the authority of Awf ibn Malik, he said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ in some of his expeditions. Awf said, "I heard a rustling sound behind me like the sound of a millstone. I turned around and there was the Prophet ﷺ ." So I said: "Indeed, when the Prophet ﷺ is in the enemy's land, he is guarded." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is a messenger from my Lord, coming to me and giving me the choice between allowing half of my Ummah to enter Paradise or intercede for them." So I chose intercession." Muadh ibn Jabal said: "O Messenger of Allah, you have certainly recognized your followers, so make me one of them." He ﷺ said, "You are one of them." Awf ibn Malik said: "O Messenger of Allah, you have indeed recognized that we left our people and our wealth with a desire for Allah and His Messenger, so make us one of them." He ﷺ said, "You are one of them." So we came back to the people and they were in uproar. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Sit down," and they all sat down as if none of them had stood up. He ﷺ said, "A messenger from my Lord came to me and gave me the choice between allowing half of my Ummah to enter Paradise or intercede for them. So I chose intercession." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, make us one of them." He ﷺ said, "It is for those who die without associating anything with Allah."
عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَسَمِعْتُ خَلْفِي هَزِيزًا كَهَزِيزِ الرَّحَى فَإِذَا أَنَا بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ فِي أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ الْحُرَّاسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي يُخَيِّرُنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ شَطْرُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ قِوَائِي فَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ أَنَّا تَرَكْنَا قَوْمَنَا وَأَمْوَالَنَا رَاغِبًا لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَاجْعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ» فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ وَقَدْ ثَارُوا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اقْعُدُوا» فَقَعَدُوا كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ شَطْرُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ «هِيَ لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا»
[Machine] I visited the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a delegation from Thaqif, and we set up a camp along one of the routes of Madinah until we reached the gate. There was no person among the people more disliked by us than a man who entered and we entered, greeted and pledged our allegiance. We did not leave his presence until there was no person among the people more beloved to us than the one who left his presence. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you not ask your Lord for a kingdom like that of Sulaiman?" He laughed and said, "Perhaps your companion with Allah is better than the kingdom of Sulaiman. Indeed, Allah has not sent a prophet except that He has given him a supplication. And among them are those who took it for the rewards of this world and some of them invoked it against their people until they were destroyed by it. And indeed, Allah has given me a supplication and I have kept it with my Lord as intercession for my Ummah on the Day of Judgment."
And indeed, Muslim has mentioned the authority of Ali ibn Hashim and Abdur Rahman ibn Abi Aqil Al-Thaqafi, who are companions known for their narrations. Our imams have relied on them in their collections. As for Abd al-Jabbar ibn al-Abbas, he is the one who collected and organized his narrations among the people of Kufa. However, this narration is not confirmed.
قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفٍ فَعَلَقْنَا طَرِيقًا مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى أَنَخْنَا بِالْبَابِ وَمَا فِي النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ أَبْغَضُ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ نَلِجُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ فَدَخَلْنَا وَسَلَّمْنَا وَبَايَعْنَا فَمَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ حَتَّى مَا فِي النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا سَأَلْتَ رَبَّكَ مُلْكًا كَمُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ؟ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ «لَعَلَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَبْعَثْ نَبِيًّا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ دَعْوَةً فَمِنْهُمْ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ بِهَا دُنْيَا فَأُعْطِيَهَا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ دَعَا بِهَا عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِهَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعْطَانِي دَعْوَةً فَاخْتَبَأْتُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» «وَقَدِ احْتَجَّ مُسْلِمٌ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَقِيلٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ صَحَابِيٌّ قَدْ تَحْتَجُّ بِهِ أَئِمَّتُنَا فِي مَسَانِيدِهِمْ فَأَمَّا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَجْمَعُ حَدِيثَهُ وَيُعِدُّ مَسَانِيدَهُ فِي الْكُوفِيِّينَ» ليس بثابت
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "I have been shown what will happen to my Ummah after me; some of them will shed the blood of others, and this will be preceded by Allah as it happened in the nations before them. So I asked Allah to grant me intercession on the Day of Resurrection for them, and He granted it to me."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «أُرِيتُ مَا يَلْقَى أُمَّتِي بَعْدِي وَسَفْكَ بَعْضِهِمْ دِمَاءَ بَعْضٍ وَسَبَقَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ كَمَا سَبَقَ فِي الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَهُمْ فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يُولِيَنِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَفَاعَةً فِيهِمْ فَفَعَلَ»
The Prophet ﷺ said: My intercession will be for those of my people who have committed major sins. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4739)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «شَفَاعَتِي لِأَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي»
