[Machine] I used to serve the Prophet ﷺ and then I would go to the mosque when I finished my work, and I would lie down in it. One day, the Prophet ﷺ came to me while I was lying down, and he nudged me with his foot. So I sat up, and he said to me, "O Abu Dharr, what will you do if you are taken out of it?" I said, "I will return to the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ and to my house." He said, "And what will you do if you are taken out of it?" I said, "Then I will take my sword and strike anyone who takes me out." The Prophet ﷺ placed his hand on my shoulder and said, "May Allah forgive you, O Abu Dharr, but you will be thrown with them where they throw you, and you will be taken where they take you, even if it is to the land of the Abyssinians." Abu Dharr added, "So when I was expelled to Rabdhah, the prayers were established." Then a black man, who had some nice clothes and good perfume, came to pray, and when he saw me, he started to go back. I said to him, "You are just like what you are, but I am being driven away according to the order of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."

كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ثُمَّ آتِي الْمَسْجِدَ إِذَاأَنَا فَرَغْتُ مِنْ عَمَلِي فَأَضْطَجِعُ فِيهِ فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعٌ فَغَمَزَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ فَاسْتَوَيْتُ جَالِسًا فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهَا؟ فَقُلْتُ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَإِلَى بَيْتِي قَالَ فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهَا؟ فَقُلْتُ إِذَنْ آخُذَ بِسَيْفِي فَأَضْرِبَ بِهِ مَنْ يُخْرِجُنِي فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِي فَقَالَ غَفْرًا يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ثَلَاثًا بَلْ تَنْقَادُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ قَادُوكَ وَتَنْسَاقُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ سَاقُوكَ وَلَوْ عَبْد أَسْوَدَ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَلَمَّا نُفِيتُ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ كَانَ فِيهَا عَلَى نَعَمِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي أَخَذَ لِيَرْجِعَ وَلِيُقَدِّمَنِي فَقُلْتُ كَمَا أَنْتَ بَلْ أَنْقَادُ لِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
