[Machine] Bashir, the messenger of Allah ﷺ, narrated to me, and his name in the pre-Islamic era was Zahm bin Ma'bad. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What is your name?" He responded, "Zahm bin Ma'bad." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You are Bashir (meaning bearer of glad tidings)." So his name became Bashir. He said, "While I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said to me, 'O son of a noble! Why seek revenge against Allah? You have become someone who walks with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' So I said, 'I do not seek revenge against Allah for anything. Every good has been done by the Prophet of Allah.' Then he went to the graves of the polytheists and said, 'These people were preceded by many good deeds.' He repeated this statement three times. Then he went to the graves of the Muslims and said, 'These people have attained much good.' He repeated this statement three times. While he was walking, he cast a glance and saw a man walking among the graves wearing sandals. He said, 'O wearer of the two sandals! Woe to you! Throw away your sandals.' So the man looked, and when he recognized the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he took off his sandals and threw them away.
حَدَّثَنِي بَشِيرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ اسْمُهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ زَحْمُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ وَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» قَالَ زَحْمُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ فَقَالَ «أَنْتَ بَشِيرٌ» فَكَانَ اسْمَهُ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا أُمَاشِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَةِ مَا تَنْقِمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَصْبَحْتَ تُمَاشِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنْقِمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ شَيْئًا كُلُّ خَيْرٍ فَعَلَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ فَأَتَى عَلَى قُبُورٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِخَيْرٍ كَثِيرٍ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَتَى عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ هَؤُلَاءِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَمْشِي إِذْ حَانَتْ مِنْهُ نَظْرَةٌ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ عَلَيْهِ نَعْلَانِ فَقَالَ «يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّتَيْنِ وَيْحَكَ أَلْقِ سِبْتِيَّتَيْكَ» فَنَظَرَ فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَرَمَى بِهِمَا
