nasai-kubra:8515ʿAlī b. al-Mundhir > Ibn Fuḍayl > ʿĀṣim b. Kulayb al-Jarmī from his father

[Machine] I was sitting with Ali when a man wearing traveling clothes entered. Ali was speaking to the people and they were speaking to him. The man asked Ali, "May I speak?" But Ali did not turn to him and he was preoccupied with something. So, I sat next to the man and asked him, "What's your news?" He replied, "I was performing Umrah and I met Aisha who said to me, 'These people who have left your land are called Haruriyyah.' I said, 'They left from a place called Harurā', so they are called that.' She said, 'Blessed is the one who witnessed their destruction. If the son of Abu Talib wanted, he could inform you about them.' So, I came to ask him about their news. When Ali finished, he said, 'Where is the one who sought permission?' So, the man narrated the story to him as he had narrated it to us. He said, 'I entered upon the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and there was no one with him except Aisha, the Mother of the Believers.' So, he said to me, 'O Ali, how are you and your people?' I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' Then he pointed with his hand and said, 'There are people who come out from the east reciting the Quran, but their understanding does not go beyond their throats. They pass through the religion just as an arrow passes through its target. Among them is a man whose appearance is deceiving, as if his hand is in the breast. Shall I inform you about them?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I solemnly swear by Allah, have I informed you about them?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'So you come to me and inform me that he is not among them, and then I swear by Allah that he is among them? Then you come to me and drag him as you were named?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth.'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٥١٥أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ جَالِسًا إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُ السَّفَرِ قَالَ وَعَلِيٌّ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ وَيُكَلِّمُونَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ «أَتَأْذَنُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمُ؟ فَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِ وَشَغَلَهُ مَا هُوَ فِيهِ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَا خَبَرُكَ؟» قَالَ كُنْتُ مُعْتَمِرًا فَلَقِيتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ لِي «هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا فِي أَرْضِكُمْ يُسَمُّونَ حَرُورِيَّةً» قُلْتُ خَرَجُوا فِي مَوْضِعٍ يُسَمَّى حَرُورَاءَ فَسُمُّوا بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ «طُوبَى لِمَنْ شَهِدَ هَلَكَتَهُمْ لَوْ شَاءَ ابْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لَأَخَبَرَكُمْ خَبَرَهُمْ» فَجِئْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ خَبَرِهِمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ «أَيْنَ الْمُسْتَأْذِنُ؟ فَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا قَصَّ عَلَيْنَا» قَالَ «إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» فَقَالَ لِي «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ وَقَوْمُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ وَقَالَ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ «قَوْمٌ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مُخْدَجٌ كَأَنَّ يَدَهُ ثَدْيٌ أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِهِمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «أُنَاشِدُكُمْ بِاللهِ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ أَنَّهُ فِيهِمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَأَتَيْتُمُونِي فَأَخْبَرْتُمُونِي أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ فَحَلَفْتُ لَكُمْ بِاللهِ أَنَّهُ فِيهِمْ فَأَتَيْتُمُونِي بِهِ تَسْحَبُونَهُ كَمَا نُعِتَ لَكُمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ»

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one day, and ascended the pulpit, and he never used to ascend it, before that, except on Fridays. The people were alarmed by that, and some were standing and some were sitting. He gestured to them with his hand, telling them to sit. (Then he said:) 'By Allah, I am not standing here for something that will benefit you, an exhortation or warning. Rather Tamim Dari has come to me and told me something that prevented me from taking a rest because of the joy and delight (I felt), and I wanted to spread that joy among you. A cousin of Tamim Dari told me that the wind drove them to an island that they did not know, so they sat in the rowing boats of the ship and set out. There they saw something black, with long eyelashes. They said to it: "What are you?" It said: "I am Jassasah," They said: "Tell us." It said: "I will not tell you anything or ask you anything. Rather there is this monastery that you have looked at. Go to it, for there is a man there who is longing to hear your news and tell you news." So they went there and entered upon him, and they saw an old man firmly shackled, with a sorrowful appearance and complaining a great deal. He said to them: "Where have you come from?" They said: "From Sham." He said: "How are the Arabs faring?" They said: "We are from among the Arabs. What do you want to ask about?" He said: "What has this man done who has appeared among you?" They said: "(He has done) well. He made enemies of some people, but Allah supported him against them and now they have become one, with one God and one religion." He said: "What happened to the spring of Zughar?" They said: "It is good; we irrigate out crops from it and drink from it." He said: "What happened to the date-palms between 'Amman and Baisan?" They said: "They bear fruit every year." He said: "What happened to the Lake of Tiberias?" They said: "It overflows because of the abundance of water." He gave three deep sighs, then he said: "If I were to free myself from these chains, I would not leave any land without entering it on these two feet of mine, except for Taibah, for I have no way to enter it." The Prophet ﷺ said: 'My joy is so great. This (Al-Madinah) is Taibah, and by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, there is no narrow or broad road in it, or any plain or mountain, but there is an angel (standing) over it with his sword unsheathed, until the Day of Resurrection.'"
