ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ تَرْكَ صَلَاةِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ عَلَى مَنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي أَوْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the Hour (Day of Judgment), his cheeks would turn red, his anger would intensify, and his voice would rise as if he were warning of an approaching army. He would say, 'You have experienced both morning and evening.' He would also say, 'I am more deserving of the believers than themselves. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it belongs to their family, and whoever leaves behind a debt or dependents, it is my responsibility and mine alone. I am more deserving of the believers.'"  

ابن حبّان:٣٠٦٢أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِصَامِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ احْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ قَالَ صُبِّحْتُمْ مُسِّيتُمْ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ «أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَعَلَيَّ وَإِلَيَّ فَأَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ»

muslim:867aMuḥammad b. al-Muthanná > ʿAbd al-Wahhāb b. ʿAbd al-Majīd > Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad from his father > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

When Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) delivered the sermon, his eyes became red, his voice rose, and his anger increased so that he was like one giving a warning against the enemy and saying: "The enemy has made a morning attack on you and in the evening too." He would also say: "The Last Hour and I have been sent like these two." And he would join his forefinger and middle finger; and would further say: "The best of the speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best of the guidance is the guidance given by Muhammad. And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every innovation is error." He would further say:, I am more dear to a Muslim even than his self; and he who left behind property that is for his family; and he who dies under debt or leaves children (in helplessness), the responsibility (of paying his debt and bringing up his children) lies on me."  

مسلم:٨٦٧aوَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَطَبَ احْمَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَعَلاَ صَوْتُهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ يَقُولُ صَبَّحَكُمْ وَمَسَّاكُمْ وَيَقُولُ بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةَ كَهَاتَيْنِ وَيَقْرُنُ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى وَيَقُولُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَخَيْرُ الْهُدَى هُدَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَشَرُّ الأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلُّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلاَلَةٌ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَإِلَىَّ وَعَلَىَّ  

ahmad:14630ʿAbdullāh b. al-Walīd > Sufyān > Jaʿfar from his father > Jābir

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , would redden and his cheeks would flush when he mentioned the Hour (the Day of Judgment). His anger would intensify, and his voice would rise as if he were a warner of an approaching army, saying, "I am the closest to the believers than their own selves. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it belongs to his family, and whoever leaves behind a debt or dependents, then it is upon me." And I am the closest to the believers.  

أحمد:١٤٦٣٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ احْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ صُبِّحْتُمْ مُسِّيتُمْ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَإِلَيَّ وَعَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to become flushed, his cheeks would redden, his anger would intensify, and his voice would become elevated when he mentioned the Hour, as if he were warning of an approaching army saying, "Morning may befall you, evening may befall you."
