ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الدَّاعِي الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ قَالَ ﷺ «وَلَوْ لَبِثْتُ فِي السِّجْنِ مَا لَبِثَ يُوسُفُ لَأَجَبْتُ الدَّاعِيَ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If the supplicant who came to Joseph had come to me, I would have answered him. And he said to him, 'Go back to your Lord and ask Him about the condition of the women who cut their hands.' And the mercy of Allah be upon Lot, if He had a strong refuge, when he said to his people, 'If only I had power over you or could take refuge in a strong support, then Allah would not have sent after him any prophet except in a township from his people.'"  

ابن حبّان:٦٢٠٧أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ جَاءَنِي الدَّاعِي الَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَى يُوسُفَ لَأَجَبْتُهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ ارْجِعْ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَاسْأَلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ اللَّاتِي قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى لُوطٍ إِنْ كَانَ لَيَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ لِيَ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ فَمَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ بَعْدَهُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا فِي ثَرْوَةٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ»

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ regarding the saying of Lut, "If only I had strength, or I could rely on a strong support." [Hud 80] The Prophet ﷺ said, he used to rely on a strong support, which is his Lord. The Prophet ﷺ said, Allah did not send a prophet after him except among his people.  

أحمد:٨٩٨٧حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي قَوْلِ لُوطٍ {لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ} [هود 80] قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ إِلَى رَبِّهِ ﷻ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَمَا بَعَثَ اللهُ بَعْدَهُ نَبِيٌّا إِلَّا فِي ثَرْوَةٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ  

ahmad:8392

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I stayed in prison as long as Joseph stayed and then the messenger came, I would respond to his call (to go out of the prison) ." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6992)  

أحمد:٨٣٩٢

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ لَبِثْتُ فِي السِّجْنِ مَا لَبِثَ يُوسُفُ ثُمَّ جَاءَنِي الدَّاعِي لَأَجَبْتُهُ إِذْ جَاءَهُ الرَّسُولُ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَاسْأَلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ اللَّاتِي قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ إِنَّ رَبِّي بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌوَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَى لُوطٍ إِنْ كَانَ لَيَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ وَمَا بَعَثَ اللهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا فِي ثَرْوَةٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah have mercy on Joseph. If it weren't for the word he said, 'Mention me to your lord,' he would have remained in prison just as long. May Allah have mercy on Lot as well. He had no strength to protect himself or take refuge in a strong pillar when he said to his people, 'If only I had strength or a refuge in a strong pillar.' Allah did not send any prophet after him except from his own people's lineage."  

ابن حبّان:٦٢٠٦أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَحِمَ اللَّهُ يُوسُفَ لَوْلَا الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي قَالَهَا اذْكُرْنِي عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ مَا لَبِثَ فِي السِّجْنِ مَا لَبِثَ وَرَحِمَ اللَّهُ لُوطًا إِنْ كَانَ لَيَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ لِيَ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ قَالَ فَمَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيًّا بَعْدَهُ إِلَّا فِي ثَرْوَةٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ»

"إِنَّ الْكَريمَ، ابْنَ الْكَرِيم، ابنِ الكريم، ابنِ الكريم يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيم عَلَيْهم السَّلامُ، وَلَوْ (لَبثْتُ) في السِّجْنِ مَا لَبثَ، ثم أَتَانى الرَّسُولُ أَجَبْتُ، وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَى لُوطٍ: إِنْ كَانَ لَيَأوِى إِلى رُكْنٍ شَدِيد إِذْ قَالَ: "لَوْ أنَّ لِى بكُمْ قُوَّةً أوْ آوى إِلى رُكْنٍ شَديدٍ" فَما بَعثَ اللهُ بَعْدُ نَبِيًا إِلَّا فِى ذِرْوَةٍ مِنْ قَوْمهِ ".
