٢٨۔ كِتَابُ الْعِلْمِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and spoke to the people. Then a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured with his face, so we told him to sit down, for you have asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ something he dislikes. Then the man stood up for the second time and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ frowned more intensely this time. Then the man stood up for the third time and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Woe to you! What have you prepared for it?" The man replied, "I have prepared love for Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then sit down, for you will be with those whom you love."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فَحَدَّثَ النَّاسَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَبَسَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ اقْعُدْ فَإِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يَكْرَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ فَبَسَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَجْهِهِ أَشَدَّ مِنَ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَيْحَكَ وَمَاذَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا حُبَّ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اجْلِسْ فَإِنَّكَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ»
