قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِكُ} [الزخرف: 77]

nasai-kubra:11416Muḥammad b. Rāfiʿ > Ḥujayn b. al-Muthanná > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Abū Salamah > Ibn al-Faḍl > Abū Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Abū Hurayrah

I found myself in Hijr and the Quraish were asking me about my might journey. I was asked about things pertaining to Bait-ul-Maqdis which I could not preserve (in my mind). I was very much vexed, so vexed as I had never been before. Then Allah raised it (Bait-ul-Maqdis) before my eyes. I looked towards it, and I gave them the information about whatever they questioned me I also saw myself among the group of apostles. I saw Moses saying prayer and found him to be a well-built man as if he was a man of the tribe of Shanu'a. I saw Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him) offering prayer, of all of men he had the closest resemblance with 'Urwa b. Masu'd al-Thaqafi. I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him) offering prayer; he had the closest resemblance with your companion (the Prophet himself) amongst people. When the time of prayer came I led them. When I completed the prayer, someone said: Here is Malik, the keeper of the Hell; pay him salutations. I turned to him, but he preceded me in salutation. (Using translation from Muslim 172)  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٤١٦أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي الْحِجْرِ وَقُرَيْشٌ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ مَسْرَايَ فَسَأَلُونِي عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ لَمْ أُثْبِتْهَا فَكُرِبْتُ كَرْبًا مَا كُرِبْتُ مِثْلَهُ قَطُّ فَرَفَعَهُ اللهُ لِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَمَا سَأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَتَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَإِذَا مُوسَى ﷺ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ضَرْبٌ جَعْدٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ وَإِذَا عِيسَى قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي أَقْرَبُ النَّاسِ بِهِ شَبَهًا عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ وَإِذَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِهِ صَاحِبُكَمْ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ ﷺ وَحَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَأَمَمْتُهُمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ لِي قَائِلٌ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا مَالِكٌ صَاحِبُ النَّارِ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَبَدَأَنِي بِالسَّلَامِ

مسلم:١٧٢وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

"لَقَدْ رأَيتَنِى في الحِجْرِ وَقُرَيشٌ تَسأَلُنِى عَن مَسْراى، فَسَأَلَتْنِى عن أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ بَيتِ المقدِس لَمْ أُثْبِتْها ، فَكُرِبْتُ كَرْبًا مَا كُرِبتُ مِثْله قَطُّ فَرَفَعَهُ اللهُ لي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيهِ

مَا سَأَلُونِى عن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا أَنْبأتُهم بِه، وَقَدْ رَأَيتُنِى في جَمَاعَةٍ من الأَنْبِيَاءِ، فإِذَا مُوسى-عليه السلام- قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي، فإِذَا رَجُلٌ جَعْدٌ ضَرْبٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِن رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ، وإِذَا عيسى بن مَريَم قَائِم يُصَلِّي أَقْربُ النَّاسِ به شَبَهًا عُرْوَةُ بن مَسْعُودٍ الثقَفِيُّ، وإِذَا إِبْرَاهيمُ قَائمٌ يُصلِّى، أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِه صَاحِبُكمْ -يعني نفسه- فَحَانَتْ الصَّلاةَ فأَمَمْتُهم، فلمَّا فَرَغْتُ من الصَّلاةِ، قَال قائل: "يَا مُحمَدُ هَذَا مالك صَاحِبُ النَّارِ فَسَلِّمَ علَيهِ، فالْتَفَتُّ إِلَيّه فبدأَنِى بالسَّلامِ".
