ذِكْرُ الْخِصَالِ الَّتِي يُرْتَجَى لِلْمَرْءِ بِاسْتِعْمَالِهَا زَوَالُ الْكَرْبِ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَنْهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Three men from among those who came before you used to visit their families regularly. One day, as they were passing by a mountain, a massive rock fell on top of them, trapping them. They said to each other, 'The only way we can survive is if we invoke Allah with the best of our deeds.' So, they started mentioning the best deeds they had performed in their lives."  

ابن حبّان:٩٧١أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ الْقَطَّانُ * عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَرَجَ ثَلَاثَةٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ يَرْتَادُونَ لِأَهْلِهِمْ فَأَصَابَتْهُمُ السَّمَاءُ فَلَجَؤُوا إِلَى جَبَلٍ فَوَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ صَخْرَةٌ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَفَا الْأَثَرُ وَوَقَعَ الْحَجَرُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَكَانَكُمْ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ بِأَوْثَقِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ
