884 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā related to us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Jarīr ibn Ḥāzim informed us. He said: al-Mughīra ibn Ḥakīm related to us, saying: Fāṭima daughter of ʿAbd al-Malik told me: “Mughīra, among men there may be some who pray and fast more than ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz.
وَلَكِنْ لَمْ أَرَ رَجُلًا مِنَ النَّاسِ قَطُّ كَانَ أَشَدَّ فَرَقًا مِنْ رَبِّهِ مِنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ،
walākin lam ʾara rajulan mina al-nāsi qaṭṭu kāna ʾashadda faraqan min rabbihi min ʿumara bni ʿabdi al-ʿazīzi,
Yet I never saw any man more intensely fearful of his Lord than ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz.
كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ أَلْقَى نَفْسَهُ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ، فَلَا يَزَالُ يَبْكِي، وَيَدْعُو حَتَّى تَغْلِبَهُ عَيْنَاهُ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَيْقِظُ، فَيَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ لَيْلَتَهُ أَجْمَعَ»
kāna ʾidhā dakhala baytahu ʾalqā nafsahu fī masjidihi, falā yazālu yabkī, wayadʿū ḥattā taghlibahu ʿaynāhu, thumma yastayqiẓu, fayafʿalu mithla dhālika laylatahu ʾajmaʿa»
When he entered his home, he would cast himself down in his prayer-place and continue weeping and supplicating until sleep overcame his eyes. Then he would awaken and do the same throughout the entire night.”

٨٨٧ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُغِيرَةُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ: قَالَتْ لِي فَاطِمَةُ: كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ عُمَرَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ، أَخْفِ عَلَيْهِمْ مَوْتِي وَلَوْ سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ» ،

He said: Mughīra ibn Ḥakīm related to me, saying: Fāṭima told me: During the illness from which ʿUmar died, I used to hear him say: “O God, conceal my death from them, even if only for one hour of the day.”
قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَوْمًا: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَلَا أَخْرُجُ عَنْكَ عَسَى أَنْ تُغْفِيَ شَيْئًا، فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تَنَمْ، قَالَتْ: فَخَرَجْتُ عَنْهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ فِيهِ،

She said: One day I told him, “Commander of the Faithful, shall I not leave you, in the hope that you may sleep a little? You have not slept.” I left him and went to the side of the room in which he lay.
قَالَتْ: فَجَعَلْتُ أَسْمَعُهُ يَقُولُ: {تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ} [الْقَصَصِ: ٨٣] يُرَدِّدُهَا مِرَارًا،
qālat: fajaʿaltu ʾasmaʿuhu yaqūlu: {tilka al-dāru al-ʾākhiratu najʿaluhā lilladhīna lā yurīdūna ʿuluwwan fī al-ʾarḍi walā fasādan wa-l-ʿāqibatu li-l-muttaqīna} [al-qaṣaṣi: 83] yuraddiduhā mirāran,
She said: I heard him repeating: {That abode of the Hereafter We assign to those who desire neither exaltation upon the earth nor corruption; and the final outcome belongs to the God-fearing} [al-Qaṣaṣ 28:83]. He repeated it many times.
ثُمَّ أَطْرَقَ فَلَبِثَ طَوِيلًا لَا أَسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتًا، فَقُلْتُ لِوَصِيفٍ لَهُ كَانَ يَخْدُمُهُ: وَيْحَكَ اُنْظُرْ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ صَاحَ،

Then he lowered his head and remained for a long time without my hearing a sound. I said to a young servant who attended him, “Shame on you—look!” When the servant entered, he cried out.
قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ مَيِّتًا، قَدْ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى الْقِبْلَةِ، وَوَضَعَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى فِيهِ، وَالْأُخْرَى عَلَى عَيْنِهِ

She said: I entered and found ʿUmar dead. He had turned his face toward the qibla, placing one hand over his mouth and the other over his eye.

888 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā related to us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; Ḥarmala ibn ʿImrān informed us. He said: A man related to me that he heard Maymūn ibn Mihrān say: ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz asked me, “Have you not visited ʿAbd al-Malik?”—meaning his son.
قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ الْبَابَ، فَإِذَا وَصِيفٌ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: اِسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «اُدْخُلْ، وَإِنَّ عِنْدَهُ النَّاسَ، أَوَ أَمِيرٌ هُوَ؟»
qāla: faʾataytu al-bāba, faʾidhā waṣīfun, faqultu lahu: istaʾdhin ʿalayhi, faqāla: «udkhul, waʾinna ʿindahu al-nāsa, ʾawa ʾamīrun huwa?»
I went to the door and found a young servant. I asked him to seek permission for me. He replied: “Enter; there are people with him. Is he some kind of ruler?”
فَدَخَلْتُ، قَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: " مَيْمُونُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، فَعَرَفَ،
fadakhaltu, qāla: man ʾanta? faqultu: " maymūnu bnu mihrāna, faʿarafa,
I entered. He asked who I was. I answered, “Maymūn ibn Mihrān,” and he recognized me.
ثُمَّ حَضَرَ طَعَامُهُ، فَأُتِيَ بِقَلِيَّةٍ مَدِينِيَّةٍ، وَهِيَ عِظَامُ اللَّحْمِ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِثَرِيدَةٍ قَدْ مُلِئَتْ خُبْزًا وَشَحْمًا، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِتَمْرٍ وَزُبْدٍ،

Then his meal arrived. He was brought a Medinese qaliyya, consisting of meat bones; then a dish of tharīd filled with bread and fat; then dates and butter.
فَقُلْتُ: لَوْ كَلَّمْتَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَخَصَّكَ مِنْهُ بِخَاصَّةٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ أَوْفَى حَظًّا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، إِنِّي فِي أَلْفَيْنِ، كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَلْحَقَنِي فِيهِمَا، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ إِلَى أَبِي فِي نَفْسِهِ مَا فَعَلَ،

I said: “If only you spoke to the Commander of the Faithful so that he might allot you a special allowance.” He replied: “I hope he possesses a fuller share with God than to do that. I am on a stipend of two thousand; Sulaymān assigned me to that level. By God, had the matter rested with my father personally, he would not have done it.
وَلِي غَلَّةٌ بِالطَّائِفِ، إِنْ سَلِمَتْ لِي أَتَانِي غَلَّةٌ أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ، فَمَا أَصْنَعُ بِذَلِكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: أَنْتَ لِأَبِيكَ

I also have produce in al-Ṭāʾif. If it remains safe for me, a yield of one thousand dirhams comes to me. What would I do with anything more?” I thought to myself: “You truly take after your father.”

He said: Sahl ibn Ṣadaqa, the client of ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Marwān, related to us. He said: One of ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz’s close attendants related to me that, when the caliphate passed to him, loud weeping was heard in his residence.
فَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ، فَقِيلَ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ خَيَّرَ جَوَارِيَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَزَلَ بِي أَمْرٌ قَدْ شَغَلَنِي عَنْكُنَّ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ أُعْتِقَهُ أَعْتَقْتُهُ، وَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ أُمْسِكَهُ أَمْسَكْتُهُ، لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنِّي إِلَيْهَا شَيْءٌ» ،

People asked about the weeping and were told: ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz gave his slave women a choice, saying: “A responsibility has descended upon me that has occupied me away from you. Whoever wishes me to free her, I will free; whoever wishes me to keep her, I will keep, though there will be nothing from me toward her.”
فَبَكَيْنَ يَأْسًا مِنْهُ
fabakayna yaʾsan minhu
They wept in despair of receiving his attention.
٨٩٠ - أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَشِيطٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: أَلَا تُخْبِرِينِي عَنْ عُمَرَ؟ فَقَالَتْ: «مَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ اِغْتَسَلَ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ، وَلَا مِنِ اِحْتِلَامٍ مُنْذُ اِسْتَخْلَفَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ»

891 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā related to us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us, from Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq. He said: One of our companions related to me: ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb appointed Saʿīd ibn ʿĀmir ibn Ḥidhyam over part of Syria. Saʿīd would be overtaken by fainting while among the people.
فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ، قِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مُصَابٌ، فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ فِي قَدْمَةٍ قَدِمَهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: «يَا سَعِيدُ، مَا هَذَا الَّذِي يُصِيبُكَ؟»

This was mentioned to ʿUmar, and he was told, “The man is afflicted.” When Saʿīd came to visit him, ʿUmar asked: “Saʿīd, what is this that overtakes you?”
قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، مَا بِي مِنْ بَأْسٍ، وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَضَرَ خُبَيْبَ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ حِينَ قُتِلَ، وَسَمِعْتُ دَعْوَتَهُ، وَاللَّهِ مَا خَطَرَتْ عَلَى قَلْبِي، وَأَنَا فِي مَجْلِسٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا غُشِيَ عَلَيَّ،

He replied: “By God, Commander of the Faithful, I suffer no illness. But I was among those present when Khubayb ibn ʿAdī was killed, and I heard his supplication. By God, it has never crossed my heart while I was sitting in a gathering without my fainting.”
فَزَادَهُ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ خَيْرًا
fazādahu dhālika ʿinda ʿumara khayran
This increased Saʿīd’s standing for goodness in ʿUmar’s estimation.

If he died upon good, we hoped for him; if he died otherwise, we feared for him.’

Today you may see something in your brother that pleases you, only for him to displease you tomorrow; or today you may see something that displeases you, only for him to please you tomorrow. People change, while God alone pardons sins. God Most High is more merciful to people than the mother of an only child who has spread a place for him on a barren tract and then feels the ground with her hand: if there is a stinging creature, it strikes her before him, and if there is a thorn, it pierces her before him.’

He replied: ‘I heard the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, say: “Two men among the Children of Israel loved one another. One strove earnestly in worship, while the other was—as though he said—a sinner. The worshipper kept telling him, ‘Stop! Stop what you are doing!’ The other replied, ‘Leave me to my Lord.’ One day he found him committing a sin that he considered grave and told him, ‘Stop!’ He replied, ‘Leave me to my Lord. Were you sent as my overseer?’ The worshipper said, ‘By God, God will never forgive you and will never admit you to Paradise.’ God sent an angel who took both their souls, and they came together before Him. He told the sinner, ‘Enter Paradise through My mercy.’ To the other He said, ‘Are you able to bar My mercy from My servant?’ He replied, ‘No, my Lord.’ God said, ‘Take him to the Fire.’”’

He said: Yaḥyā related to us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh informed us; Abū Maʿshar al-Madanī informed us; Muḥammad ibn Kaʿb al-Quraẓī related to me; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dāra, a client of ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān, related to me, from Ḥumrān, a client of ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān, who said: A water jar was carried past ʿUthmān. He asked for it, performed ablution, and completed it thoroughly. Then he said: ‘Had I heard this from the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, only once, twice, or three times, I would not have related it to you. I heard the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, say: “No servant performs a thorough ablution and then rises for prayer without being forgiven for what lies between that prayer and the next.”’
قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: “ وَكُنْتُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُ حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اِلْتَمَسْتُهُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ، فَالْتَمَسْتُ هَذَا فَوَجَدْتُ: {إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا لِيَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ وَيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ} ، فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِ النِّعْمَةَ حَتَّى غَفَرَ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ الْمَائِدَةِ {إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ} [الْمَائِدَةِ: ٦]- حَتَّى بَلَغَ - {وَلَكِنْ يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ} [الْمَائِدَةِ: ٦] ، فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِمِ النِّعْمَةَ حَتَّى غَفَرَ لَهُمْ ”

Muḥammad ibn Kaʿb said: ‘Whenever I heard a report from a Companion of the Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, I looked for it in the Qurʾān. I sought this one and found: “Indeed, We have granted you a manifest victory, so that God may forgive you your earlier and later sin and complete His blessing upon you.” I understood that God did not complete His blessing upon him until He forgave his sins. Then I read the verse in Sūrat al-Māʾida, “When you rise for prayer, wash your faces and your hands to the elbows” [Q 5:6], until, “but He desires to purify you and complete His blessing upon you” [Q 5:6]. I understood that God did not complete His blessing upon them until He forgave them.’

Muḥammad ibn Kaʿb said: ‘This is in the Qurʾān: “If you avoid the grave sins forbidden to you, We shall erase your lesser evil deeds and admit you through a noble entrance” [Q 4:31].’ He also cited: ‘“Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and in the early hours of the night” [Q 11:114]. The two ends of the day are dawn, noon, and afternoon; the early hours of the night are sunset and night prayer. “Indeed, good deeds remove evil deeds” [Q 11:114]: these are the five prayers.’

God will say to the angels: “Examine My servant’s prayer. If it is complete, record it as complete; if it is deficient, record it as deficient.” Then God, in His forbearance, knowledge, and bounty restored to His servant, will say: “Look—does he have any voluntary prayer?” If he does, his prayer will be completed for him.’ The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, then said: ‘The rest of the deeds will then be taken in the same way.’

When ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb saw that the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, was about to permit them to slaughter some of their mounts, he said: ‘Messenger of God, what will become of us if we meet the enemy tomorrow on foot and hungry? Instead, if you see fit, call upon the people to bring what remains of their provisions, gather it, and then ask God to bless it. God will surely carry us through by your supplication—or bless us through your supplication.’

The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, called upon the people to bring what remained of their provisions. They came with handfuls of food and more, the largest contribution being a measure of dates. The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, gathered it and supplicated for as long as God willed. Then he called the army with their vessels and ordered them to scoop food out. Not one vessel in the army remained unfilled, and an equal amount still remained.

The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, laughed until his back teeth showed and said: ‘I testify that there is no god but God, and I testify that I am God’s Messenger. No servant who believes in these two testimonies will meet God without the Fire being screened from him on the Day of Resurrection.’

919 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā related to us and said: al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Ḥasan, Yaʿqūb ibn Ibrāhīm, and Ziyād ibn Ayyūb related it to us. They said: Ismāʿīl ibn Ibrāhīm related to us; Hishām al-Dastawāʾī related to us; Yaḥyā ibn Abī Kathīr related to us, from Hilāl ibn Abī Maymūna, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Yasār, from Rifāʿa al-Juhanī—the wording is Ibn al-Mubārak’s—who said:
قَالَ: أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْكَدِيدِ - أَوْ قَالَ: بِقُدَيْدٍ - جَعَلَ رِجَالٌ مِنَّا يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ عَلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ فَيُأْذَنُ لَهُمْ، وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ - وَقَالَ اِبْنُ صَاعِدٍ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الثَّانِيَةِ: وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ - وَقَالَ خَيْرًا، وَقَالَ: «أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَا يَمُوتُ عَبْدٌ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَادِقًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، ثُمَّ سَدَّدَ، إِلَّا سُلِكَ بِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ،

We approached with the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, until, when we were at al-Kadīd—or he said Qudayd—some men among us began asking permission to go to their families, and permission was granted. He praised God—and Ibn Ṣāʿid said on the second occasion, ‘and extolled Him’—spoke good words, then said: ‘I testify before God that no servant dies testifying sincerely from his heart that there is no god but God and that Muḥammad is God’s Messenger, and then keeps to the straight course, without being led into Paradise.’
وَقَدْ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَا عَذَابَ، وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ، وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ، وَذُرِّيَّاتِكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»

‘My Lord has promised me that He will admit seventy thousand of my community to Paradise without reckoning or punishment. I hope they will not enter it until you, together with the righteous among your spouses and descendants, have taken up your dwellings in Paradise.’
وَقَالَ: “ إِذَا مَضَى نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ - أَوْ قَالَ: ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ - يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَيَقُولُ: لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ ”

He also said: ‘When half the night has passed—or he said, one third of the night—God descends to the lowest heaven and says: “I ask no one but Myself about My servants. Who is seeking My forgiveness, that I may forgive him? Who is calling upon Me, that I may answer him? Who is asking Me, that I may give him?” This continues until dawn breaks.’

920 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā related to us; al-Ḥusayn related to us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Maʿmar informed us, from al-Zuhrī, who said: Maḥmūd ibn al-Rabīʿ informed me. He maintained that he remembered the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, and remembered a mouthful of water that he sprayed from a bucket drawn from a well in their courtyard. Maḥmūd said: I heard ʿItbān ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī, one of Banū Sālim, say: I used to lead my people from Banū Sālim in prayer. I came to the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, and said: ‘My sight has weakened, and floodwaters come between me and my people’s mosque. I wish you would come and pray in a place in my house that I could make into a prayer place.’ The Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, replied: ‘I shall, God willing.’

The next morning, after the day had grown hot, the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, came to me with Abū Bakr—God’s mercy be upon them. The Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, asked permission to enter and I admitted him. He did not sit before asking, ‘Where in your house would you like me to pray?’ I pointed to the place where I wanted him to pray. The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, stood, we formed rows behind him; then he sat, and when he concluded with the greeting of peace, we did likewise. We kept him for a dish of khazīr that had been prepared for him.
فَسَمِعَ بِهِ أَهْلُ الدَّارِ، وَهُمْ يَدْعُونَ قُرَاهُمُ الدُّورَ، فَثَابُوا حَتَّى اِمْتَلَأَ الْبَيْتُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ - أَوْ قَالَ: الدُّخْشُنِ؟ قَالَ اِبْنُ صَاعِدٍ: هَكَذَا قَالَ - فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا: ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ لَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقُولُوهُ , وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ» قَالُوا: أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَحَدِيثَهُ إِلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيْضًا: “ لَا تَقُولُوهُ، إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ ”، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : “ لَنْ يُوَافِيَ عَبْدٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ النَّارَ ”،

The people of the neighborhood heard that he was there—they called their villages “dūr”—and they gathered until the house was full. A man asked, ‘Where is Mālik ibn al-Dukhshun—or al-Dukhshun?’ Ibn Ṣāʿid said: ‘That is how he pronounced it.’ One of us replied: ‘That man is a hypocrite who does not love God and His Messenger.’ The Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘Do not say that. He says, “There is no god but God,” seeking thereby the countenance of God Almighty.’ They replied: ‘As for us, we see his attention and conversation directed toward the hypocrites.’ The Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, again said: ‘Do not say it. He says, “There is no god but God,” seeking thereby the countenance of God.’ The Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, then said: ‘No servant will arrive on the Day of Resurrection saying, “There is no god but God,” seeking thereby God’s countenance, without God forbidding the Fire to touch him.’

Maḥmūd said: I related this to a group that included Abū Ayyūb, the Companion of the Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, during the expedition with Yazīd ibn Muʿāwiya in which Abū Ayyūb died. He rejected it and told me: ‘I do not think the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, ever said what you have reported.’ This weighed heavily upon me. I vowed to God that, if He brought me safely home from the expedition, I would ask ʿItbān ibn Mālik about it if I found him alive. From Iliya I entered consecration for pilgrimage or lesser pilgrimage and reached Medina. I went to Banū Sālim and found ʿItbān an elderly man who had lost his sight but still led his people in prayer. When he finished his prayer, I went to him, greeted him, and identified myself. He related it to me exactly as he had the first time.

Al-Zuhrī said: ‘Yet we do not know whether this occurred before the binding obligations were revealed in the Qurʾān. We fear that the matter subsequently became subject to them, so whoever can avoid being deceived should not be deceived.’ Al-Ḥusayn said: ‘There is no doubt: the matter did become subject to them.’

Ṣafwān said: ‘It has reached me that the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Every person has an angel who prompts him and a devil who prompts him, and he belongs to whichever of the two prevails over him. The angel tells his companion, ‘Remember God’: he receives the reward for it and the equivalent of the reward of everyone who remembers because of his reminder, without diminishing their rewards at all. The devil tells his companion, ‘Stir up trouble’: he bears its sin and the equivalent of the sin of everyone who stirs trouble because of his provocation, without diminishing their sins at all. So do not sin and cause us to sin.”’

His distance is not born of arrogance or self-importance, nor is his closeness born of deception or guile. He follows those before him and serves as a model for those after him. He does not rush into what troubles him, and he pardons when the matter becomes clear. He is lenient concerning what is owed to him and generous in fulfilling what he owes. His forbearance never leaves him and his ignorance never appears. Good is hoped for from him, and people are safe from his evil. If praised, he fears what they say and asks forgiveness for what they do not know. The praise of one who does not know him does not deceive him, and he never forgets the reckoning of the One who knows him.’

‘He says: “My Lord knows me better than I know myself, and I know myself better than anyone else does.” He considers himself slow in action and performs whatever righteous deeds he does with apprehension. If his soul disobeys him regarding what it dislikes, he does not obey it regarding what it loves. He goes to bed remembering God and rises intent on giving thanks. He goes to bed wary and rises joyful—wary because he has been warned against heedlessness, and joyful because of the bounty and mercy he has received.’

‘He does not disclose a trust even to friends, nor conceal his testimony even from enemies. He performs no good deed for show and abandons none out of embarrassment. If he is among those who remember, he is not recorded among the heedless; if he is among the heedless, he is recorded among those who remember, for he remembers when they do not and is not heedless when they remember. His renunciation concerns what perishes and his desire concerns what endures. He remains silent to stay safe, withdraws to gain, speaks to make matters understood, and mixes with people to learn. He neither labors at goodness while distracted nor listens to it while babbling. Gatherings of remembrance with the poor are dearer to him than gatherings of idle talk with the wealthy.’

‘My son, do not be one who admires his own certainty concerning what has already passed yet forgets certainty concerning what he hopes for and seeks. About what has passed, he says, “Had anything been decreed, it would have happened”; but about what remains he tells himself, “Strive, human being!”—restless and unsettled. He does not trust the provision guaranteed to him. His soul overcomes him regarding what he merely supposes, while he cannot overcome it regarding what he knows with certainty.’

‘He longs for forgiveness while persisting in disobedience. In the first part of his life he lived in heedlessness and delusion; then he was spared and his stumble overlooked, only to become lazy and listless at the end. His hopes stretched long, so he slackened; his span seemed long, so he was deceived. He was given ample warning through the years granted him, yet has no excuse concerning those years. He was given a lifetime in which anyone willing to remember could remember, while burdened with both sin and blessing. If given, he does not thank; if withheld, he asks, “Why was it not decreed?” The servant has done wrong and grown proud. God has the greater right to be thanked, and the servant is more deserving of being left without excuse. He burdens himself with what he was not commanded to do while neglecting what is greater. He asks for much and spends little. He was given what suffices and denied what distracts, yet he sees no wealth except wealth that makes one transgress. He cannot thank for what he has received but seeks an increase in what remains. He considers himself slow to thank for what he has been given and forgets the thanks due for what he has been spared.’

‘He forbids but does not refrain; he commands what he does not perform. He destroys himself in hatred and observes no moderation in love. His own love of a virtue he does not possess deceives him, while he hates another for possessing the same trait found in himself. He loves the righteous but does not do their deeds; he hates evildoers while being one of them. He hopes for reward because of hatred based on supposition, yet does not fear abhorrence because of what he knows with certainty about himself. He cannot obtain what he desires of this world, and he does not accept what endures of the Hereafter.’

‘If granted well-being, he imagines he has repented; if tested, he returns to sin. When a desire presents itself, he says, “Your deeds are enough,” and falls into it. When a good deed presents itself, he grows lazy and slack, saying, “Your scrupulousness is enough.” His fear does not drive away his laziness, nor does his longing impel him to act. He fell ill without fearing illness; then his term was extended while he feared burial, yet he still did not strive for the purpose for which he was created. He claims that provision was guaranteed to him, yet he is distracted from the work for which he was freed.’

‘When certainty is mentioned, he says, “Those before you were not like this.” If told, “Then why not act as they acted?” he replies, “Who can be like them?”—as though shortcoming had not afflicted him along with them. He fears for another because of a sin smaller than his own, while hoping for himself on the basis of whatever little deed comes easily. Another person’s fault gives him clear sight, yet he overlooks the same fault in himself. He acts gently so that people think him trustworthy while lying in wait to betray.’

‘If you speak to him, he grows weary of you; if he speaks to you, he burdens you with grief. If you offend him, he pleases you; if you please him, he harms you. If he parts from you, he consumes your honor; if you confide in him, he shocks you. If you keep your distance, he slanders you; if you agree with him, he envies you; if you disagree, he detests you. He envies anyone preferred over him yet disdains to confer preference on others. He envies one who surpasses him but refuses to perform that person’s deeds. He cannot repay one who treats him well, yet goes to excess against one who wrongs him. His distinction lies in evil, while another gains distinction in reward: his companion rises with reward, while he rises bearing sin.’

‘When people enter into good, he clamps his mouth—that is, he falls silent, weakens, and surrenders—then says, “Silence is forbearance,” though this is something he knows nothing about. But when they enter into evil, he says, “People will think you foolish,” and begins speaking, combining mountain goats with ostriches, and maternal uncles, paternal uncles, and mothers.’ He said: ‘He joins together whatever can be made to fit his purpose.’

Do not abandon knowledge out of indifference to it and desire for ignorance. When you see people remembering God, sit with them. If you are learned, your knowledge will benefit you; if you are ignorant, they will increase you in knowledge. Perhaps God Most High will look upon them with mercy and let it reach you along with them. When you see people who do not remember God, do not sit with them. If you are learned, your knowledge will not benefit you; if you are ignorant, they will increase you in ignorance—or he said, error. Perhaps God Most High will look upon them with wrath and let it reach you along with them.’

One of them said, ‘A servant of mine returned and acquired such-and-such,’ while another said, ‘I have outfitted my servant.’ He looked at them and said: ‘Glory be to God! Do you know what you and I are like? We are like a man caught in a heavy, pouring rain. He looked around and saw two great doors. He said, “If only I could enter this house until the rain’s harm passes from me.” But when he entered, he found a house with no roof. I sat with you hoping that you were engaged in goodness and remembrance, but here you are—people of worldly concerns.’ Then he rose and left them.

We asked, ‘Why are you weeping, Abū ʿAbd Allāh?’ He replied: ‘By God, I do not weep from longing for you or from reluctance to lose your company. I weep because the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, entrusted us with a charge that we did not observe: “Let what suffices you from this world be like a traveler’s provisions.” Yet we were not content with that until we gathered what you see.’ We looked around the house and saw only a pack-saddle and a qurṭāṭ—the cloth placed beneath the pack-saddle.

‘When death comes to a believer, a bearer of good news comes from God with news of what he is returning to. Nothing is then dearer to him than meeting God, so at that moment he loves to meet Him. But when death comes to the wicked person—or he said, the unbeliever—news comes of the evil to which he is going and the evil he will encounter. He therefore dislikes meeting God, and God dislikes meeting him.’

When the people grew numerous, he said, ‘Build me a pulpit.’ They built one with just two steps. When he moved from the trunk to the pulpit, by God, the wood moaned like one beside oneself with longing. Anas said: ‘By God, I was in the mosque and heard it. By God, it kept moaning until the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, descended from the pulpit, went to it and embraced it. Then it became still.’
فَبَكَى الْحَسَنُ، وَقَالَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، الْخَشَبُ تَحِنُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَوْقًا إِلَيْهِ، أَفَلَيْسَ الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَهُ أَحَقَّ أَنْ يَشْتَاقُوا إِلَيْهِ؟»

You have nothing to fear.’ She opened it and he entered. He asked her to repeat the words she had just said. She did; when she reached the end, he said, ‘I ask you to include me with the two of you.’ She added, ‘And ʿUmar—so forgive him, O Ever-Forgiving One.’ ʿUmar was content and returned home.
