nasai-kubra:5842ʿĪsá b. Ḥammād > al-Layth > Saʿīd > Sharīk b. ʿAbdullāh > Anas b. Mālik

[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."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٥٨٤٢أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

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»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ stood up and warned the people. Then a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour (i.e., the Day of Judgment)?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept silent and looked at him. We said to him, "Sit down, for you have asked the Messenger of Allah a question that he does not like." Then the man stood up again and asked the same question. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at him with a more serious expression than before. He said to him, "Sit down, for you have already asked me a question that I do not like." Then the man stood up a third time and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "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 to him, "Sit down, for you will be with the one you love."  

أحمد:١٢٧٠٣حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ يَعْنِي الْمَقْبُرِيَّ عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فَحَذَّرَ النَّاسَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَبَسَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ اقْعُدْ فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ سَأَلْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا يَكْرَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ فَبَسَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَجْهِهِ أَشَدَّ مِنَ الْأُولَى قَالَ فَأَجْلَسْنَاهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَيْحَكَ وَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا حُبَّ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اجْلِسْ فَإِنَّكَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ
