The Virtue of Remembering God
Chapter 47, reports 1432–1627
١٤٣٢ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
1432 - ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā jaʿfaru bnu ḥayyāna, ʿani al-ḥasani, qāla rasūlu allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama:
1432 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Jaʿfar ibn Ḥayyān informed us, from al-Ḥasan, who said that God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, said:
«أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلِ الْكَلَامِ، لَيْسَ الْقُرْآنَ، وَهُوَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ»
«ʾalā ʾunabbiʾukum biʾafḍali al-kalāmi, laysa al-qurʾāna, wahuwa mina al-qurʾāni, subḥāna allāhi, wa-al-ḥamdu li-llāhi, walā ʾilāha ʾillā allāhu, wa-allāhu ʾakbaru»
“Shall I tell you the finest words? They are not the Qurʾān, yet they appear in the Qurʾān: Glory be to God; praise be to God; there is no god but God; God is greatest.”
١٤٣٣ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
1433 - ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā yaḥyā bnu ʿubaydi allāhi qāla: samiʿtu ʾabī yaqūlu: samiʿtu ʾabā hurayrata yaqūlu: qāla rasūlu allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama:
1433 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Yaḥyā ibn ʿUbayd Allāh informed us, who said: I heard my father say: I heard Abū Hurayrah say that God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, said:
«إِذَا أَحَبَّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ قَدْرَ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ تَحْتَهُ، وَلَا يَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَهُ»
«ʾidhā ʾaḥabba ʾaḥadukum ʾan yaʿlama qadra niʿmati allāhi ʿalayhi, falyanẓur ʾilā man huwa taḥtahu, walā yanẓur ʾilā man huwa fawqahu»
“If one of you wishes to appreciate the extent of God’s blessing upon him, let him look at someone with less than himself, rather than someone with more.”
١٤٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ:
1434 - ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā mubāraku bnu faḍālata, ʿani al-ḥasani qāla:
1434 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Mubārak ibn Faḍālah informed us, from al-Ḥasan, who said:
«أَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ هَذِهِ النِّعَمِ، فَإِنَّ ذِكْرَهَا شُكْرُهَا»
«ʾakthirū dhikra hādhihi al-niʿami, faʾinna dhikrahā shukruhā»
“Speak often of these blessings, for remembering them is giving thanks for them.”
١٤٣٥ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا فِطْرٌ، عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ:
1435 - ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā fiṭrun, ʿani al-musayyabi bni rāfiʿin, ʿan ʿāmiri bni ʿabdata, ʿan ʿabdi allāhi bni masʿūdin qāla:
1435 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Fiṭr informed us, from al-Musayyab ibn Rāfiʿ, from ʿĀmir ibn ʿAbdah, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd, who said:
“ لِابْنِ آدَمَ لَمَّتَانِ: لَمَّةٌ مِنَ الْمَلَكِ، وَلَمَّةٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ،
“ libni ʾādama lammatāni: lammatun mina al-malaki, walammatun mina al-shayṭāni,
“A child of Adam experiences two impulses: one from an angel and one from Satan.
فَأَمَّا لَمَّةُ الْمَلَكِ فَإِيعَادٌ بِالْخَيْرِ، وَتَصْدِيقٌ بِالْحَقِّ، وَتَطْيِيبٌ بِالنَّفْسِ،
faʾammā lammatu al-malaki faʾīʿādun bi-al-khayri, wataṣdīqun bi-al-ḥaqqi, wataṭyībun bi-al-nafsi,
The angelic impulse promises good, affirms truth, and puts the soul at ease.
وَأَمَّا لَمَّةُ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِيعَادٌ بِالشَّرِّ، وَتَكْذِيبٌ بِالْحَقِّ، وَتَخْبِيثٌ بِالنَّفْسِ ”
waʾammā lammatu al-shayṭāni, faʾīʿādun bi-al-sharri, watakdhībun bi-al-ḥaqqi, watakhbīthun bi-al-nafsi ”
The satanic impulse promises evil, denies truth, and corrupts the soul.”
١٤٣٦ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ:
1436 - ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ʿabdu al-wahhābi al-thaqafiyyu qāla: samiʿtu yaḥyā bna saʿīdin al-ʾanṣāriyya yaqūlu: qāla ʿumaru bnu ʿabdi al-ʿazīzi:
1436 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Thaqafī informed us and said: I heard Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Anṣārī say that ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz said:
«تَذَاكَرُوا نِعَمَ اللَّهِ , فَإِنَّ ذِكْرَهَا شُكْرُهَا»
«tadhākarū niʿama allāhi , faʾinna dhikrahā shukruhā»
“Remind one another of God’s blessings, for recalling them is giving thanks for them.”
١٤٣٧ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ:
1437 - ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā ibnu ʿawnin, ʿan ʾibrāhīma qāla:
1437 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Ibn ʿAwn informed us, from Ibrāhīm, who said:
“ هُمَا لَمَّتَانِ: لَمَّةٌ مِنَ الْمَلَكِ، وَلَمَّةٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ،
“ humā lammatāni: lammatun mina al-malaki, walammatun mina al-shayṭāni,
“There are two impulses: one from an angel and one from Satan.
فَإِذَا كَانَ لَمَّةُ الْمَلَكِ فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ وَاشْكُرْهُ،
faʾidhā kāna lammatu al-malaki fa-ḥmadi allāha wa-shkurhu,
When the angelic impulse comes, praise God and thank Him.
وَإِذَا كَانَ لَمَّةُ الشَّيْطَانِ , فَتَعَوَّذْ ”
waʾidhā kāna lammatu al-shayṭāni , fataʿawwadh ”
When the satanic impulse comes, seek refuge in God.”
١٤٣٨ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ:
1438 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi, ḥaddathanā yaḥyā, ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā ʾismāʿīlu bnu ʾabī khālidin, ʿan zubaydin qāla: qāla ʿabdu allāhi bnu masʿūdin:
1438 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid informed us, from Zubayd, who said that ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd said:
«إِنَّ الرَّوْحَ وَالْفَرَجَ فِي الْيَقِينِ وَالرِّضَى، وَإِنَّ الْهَمَّ وَالْحَزَنَ فِي الشَّكِّ وَالسَّخَطِ»
«ʾinna al-rawḥa wa-al-faraja fī al-yaqīni wa-al-riḍā, waʾinna al-hamma wa-al-ḥazana fī al-shakki wa-al-sakhaṭi»
“Relief and ease lie in certainty and contentment; worry and grief lie in doubt and discontent.”
قَالَ: وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : «قُولُوا خَيْرًا تُعْرَفُوا بِهِ، وَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ تَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَلَا تَكُونُوا عُجَّلًا مَذَايِيعَ بُذُرًا»
qāla: waqāla ʿabdu allāhi : «qūlū khayran tuʿrafū bihi, wa-ʿmalū bihi takūnū min ʾahlihi, walā takūnū ʿujjalan madhāyīʿa budhuran»
He added that ʿAbd Allāh said, “Speak good so that you are known for it, and act on it so that you belong to its people. Do not be hasty or indiscreet, divulging what should be kept private.”
١٤٣٩ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ:
1439 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi, ḥaddathanā yaḥyā, ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā qaysu bnu al-rabīʿi, ʾakhbaranā ʿamru bnu murrata, ʿan ʾabī al-bakhtariyyi, ʿan ḥudhayfata qāla:
1439 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Qays ibn al-Rabīʿ informed us; ʿAmr ibn Murrah informed us, from Abū al-Bakhtarī, from Ḥudhayfah, who said:
“ الْقُلُوبُ أَرْبَعَةٌ: قَلْبٌ أَغْلَفُ فَذَاكَ قَلْبُ الْكَافِرِ،
“ al-qulūbu ʾarbaʿatun: qalbun ʾaghlafu fadhāka qalbu al-kāfiri,
“Hearts are of four kinds: a sealed heart, belonging to an unbeliever;
وَقَلْبٌ مَنْكُوسٌ فَذَاكَ قَلْبٌ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى الْكَدَرِ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ،
waqalbun mankūsun fadhāka qalbun yarjiʿu ʾilā al-kadari baʿda al-ʾīmāni,
an inverted heart, which returns to murkiness after faith;
وَقَلْبٌ أَجْرَدُ فِيهِ مِثْلُ السِّرَاجِ يُزْهِرُ، فَذَاكَ قَلْبُ الْمُؤْمِنِ،
waqalbun ʾajradu fīhi mithlu al-sirāji yuzhiru, fadhāka qalbu al-muʾmini,
a bare heart in which a lamp shines, belonging to a believer;
وَقَلْبٌ مُصَفَّحٌ اِجْتَمَعَ فِيهِ نِفَاقٌ وَإِيمَانٌ،
waqalbun muṣaffaḥun ijtamaʿa fīhi nifāqun waʾīmānun,
and a layered heart in which hypocrisy and faith are both present.
فَمَثَلُ الْإِيمَانِ فِيهِ كَمَثَلِ بُقَيْلَةٍ يَمُدُّهَا الْمَاءُ الْعَذْبُ،
famathalu al-ʾīmāni fīhi kamathali buqaylatin yamudduhā al-māʾu al-ʿadhbu,
Faith in it resembles a small plant nourished by fresh water;
وَمَثَلُ النِّفَاقِ فِيهِ كَمَثَلِ الْقُرْحَةِ يَمُدُّهَا الْقَيْحُ وَالدَّمُ، وَهُوَ لِأَيَّتِهِمَا غَلَبَ ”
wamathalu al-nifāqi fīhi kamathali al-qurḥati yamudduhā al-qayḥu wa-al-damu, wahuwa liʾayyatihimā ghalaba ”
hypocrisy resembles a sore fed by pus and blood. Whichever gains strength determines the heart.”
١٤٤٠ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ هِنْدٍ الْجَمَلِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ:
1440 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi, ḥaddathanā yaḥyā, ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā ʿawfun, ʿani ʿabdi allāhi bni ʿamri bni hindin al-jamaliyyi qāla: qāla ʿaliyyu bnu ʾabī ṭālibin:
1440 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; ʿAwf informed us, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn Hind al-Jamalī, who said that ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib said:
«الْإِيمَانُ يَبْدُو نُقْطَةً بَيْضَاءَ فِي الْقَلْبِ، كُلَّمَا اِزْدَادَ الْإِيمَانُ اِزْدَادَ ذَلِكَ الْبَيَاضُ، فَإِذَا اُسْتُكْمِلَ الْإِيمَانُ اِبْيَضَّ الْقَلْبُ كُلُّهُ،
«al-ʾīmānu yabdū nuqṭatan bayḍāʾa fī al-qalbi, kullamā izdāda al-ʾīmānu izdāda dhālika al-bayāḍu, faʾidhā ustukmila al-ʾīmānu ibyaḍḍa al-qalbu kulluhu,
“Faith begins as a white point in the heart. As faith grows, the whiteness grows, until complete faith makes the whole heart white.
وَإِنَّ النِّفَاقَ لَيَبْدُو نُقْطَةً سَوْدَاءَ فِي الْقَلْبِ، كُلَّمَا اِزْدَادَ النِّفَاقُ اِزْدَادَ السَّوَادُ، فَإِذَا اُسْتُكْمِلَ النِّفَاقُ اِسْوَدَّ الْقَلْبُ كُلُّهُ،
waʾinna al-nifāqa layabdū nuqṭatan sawdāʾa fī al-qalbi, kullamā izdāda al-nifāqu izdāda al-sawādu, faʾidhā ustukmila al-nifāqu iswadda al-qalbu kulluhu,
Hypocrisy begins as a black point in the heart. As hypocrisy grows, the blackness grows, until complete hypocrisy makes the whole heart black.
وَايْمُ اللَّهِ، لَوْ شَقَقْتُمْ عَنْ قَلْبِ مُؤْمِنٍ لَوَجَدْتُمُوهُ أَبْيَضَ، وَلَوْ شَقَقْتُمْ عَنْ قَلْبِ مُنَافِقٍ لَوَجَدْتُمُوهُ أَسْوَدَ»
wa-ymu allāhi, law shaqaqtum ʿan qalbi muʾminin lawajadtumūhu ʾabyaḍa, walaw shaqaqtum ʿan qalbi munāfiqin lawajadtumūhu ʾaswada»
By God, if you opened a believer’s heart you would find it white; if you opened a hypocrite’s heart you would find it black.”
١٤٤١ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ، عَنْ كَعْبِ الْأَحْبَارِ قَالَ:
1441 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi, ḥaddathanā yaḥyā, ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā jarīru bnu ḥāzimin, ʾanna muḥammada bna al-zubayri ḥaddathahu qāla: ḥaddathanī rajulun min ʾahli al-shāmi, ʿan kaʿbi al-ʾaḥbāri qāla:

«إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ فِي بَعْضِ الْكُتُبِ، أَوْ بَعْضِ مَا يُقْرَأُ، أَنَّ أَدْنَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِيمَانًا مَحْشُوٌّ قَلْبُهُ إِيمَانًا كَمَا حُشِيَتِ الرُّمَّانَةُ بِحَبِّهَا»
«ʾinnā lanajidu fī baʿḍi al-kutubi, ʾaw baʿḍi mā yuqraʾu, ʾanna ʾadnā hādhihi al-ʾummati ʾīmānan maḥshuwwun qalbuhu ʾīmānan kamā ḥushiyati al-rummānatu biḥabbihā»
“We find in some books, or in some recited text, that even the least faithful member of this community has a heart filled with faith like a pomegranate filled with seeds.”
١٤٤٢ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَرِيزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الرَّحَبِيِّ قَالَ:
1442 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi, ḥaddathanā yaḥyā, ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā ḥarīzu bnu ʿuthmāna, ʿan ḥabībi bni ʿubaydin al-raḥabiyyi qāla:

«تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ وَاعْقِلُوهُ، وَانْتَفِعُوا بِهِ، وَلَا تَعَلَّمُوا لِتَجَمَّلُوا بِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ أَوْشَكَ إِنْ طَالَ بِكَ الْعُمُرُ أَنْ يُتَجَمَّلَ بِالْعِلْمِ كَمَا يَتَجَمَّلُ الْمَرْءُ بِثَوْبِهِ»
«taʿallamū al-ʿilma wa-ʿqilūhu, wa-ntafiʿū bihi, walā taʿallamū litajammalū bihi, faʾinnahu ʾawshaka ʾin ṭāla bika al-ʿumuru ʾan yutajammala bi-al-ʿilmi kamā yatajammalu al-marʾu bithawbihi»
“Learn knowledge, understand it, and benefit from it. Do not study merely to adorn yourselves with it. If you live long enough, people will soon wear knowledge for show as one wears a fine garment.”
١٤٤٣ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ جَابِرٍ
1443 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi, ḥaddathanā yaḥyā, ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā baqiyyatu bnu al-walīdi, ʾakhbaranā ʾabū salamata al-ḥimṣiyyu qāla: ḥaddathanī yaḥyā bnu jābirin

قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَوْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، فَقَعَدَ إِلَيْنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَوَعَظَنَا بِمَوْعِظَةٍ لَمْ نَسْمَعْ بِمِثْلِهَا،
qāla: qadima ʿalaynā ʿawnu bnu ʿabdi allāhi, faqaʿada ʾilaynā fī al-masjidi, fawaʿaẓanā bimawʿiẓatin lam nasmaʿ bimithlihā,
who said: ʿAwn ibn ʿAbd Allāh came to us, sat with us in the mosque, and gave us an admonition unlike any we had heard.
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَيْنَ مَسْجِدُكُمُ الَّذِي كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟»
thumma qāla: «ʾayna masjidukumu al-ladhī kāna yuṣallī fīhi ʾaṣḥābu rasūli allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama?»
Then he asked, “Where is the mosque in which the Companions of God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, used to pray?”
فَذَهَبْنَا بِهِ إِلَيْهِ، فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ،
fadhahabnā bihi ʾilayhi, fatawaḍḍaʾa waṣallā fīhi rakʿatayni,
We took him there; he performed ablution and prayed two cycles.
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَلْ مِنَ الْجُنْدِ أَحَدٌ مَرِيضٌ نَعُودُهُ؟»
thumma qāla: «hal mina al-jundi ʾaḥadun marīḍun naʿūduhu?»
Then he asked, “Is anyone among the soldiers ill whom we can visit?”
فَقُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، فَأَتَيْنَا يَزِيدَ بْنَ مَيْسَرَةَ،
faqulnā: naʿam, faʾataynā yazīda bna maysarata,
We said yes and went to Yazīd ibn Maysarah.
فَلَمَّا قَعَدْنَا وَعَظَنَا مَوْعِظَةً أَنْسَانَا الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا،
falammā qaʿadnā waʿaẓanā mawʿiẓatan ʾansānā al-latī qablahā,
Once seated, ʿAwn gave an admonition that made us forget the previous one.
فَاسْتَوَى يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ، فَقَالَ: «بَخٍ بَخٍ، لَقَدِ اِسْتَعْرَضْتَ بَحْرًا عَرِيضًا، وَاسْتَخْرَجْتَ مِنْهُ نَهَرًا عَرِيضًا» ،
fa-stawā yazīdu bnu maysarata wahuwa marīḍun, faqāla: «bakhin bakhin, laqadi istaʿraḍta baḥran ʿarīḍan, wa-stakhrajta minhu naharan ʿarīḍan» ,
Though ill, Yazīd ibn Maysarah sat upright and said, “Well, well! You have surveyed a vast sea and drawn from it a broad river”—
أَوْ قَالَ: عَظِيمًا، «وَنَصَبْتَ عَلَيْهِ شَجَرًا كَثِيرًا، فَإِنْ كَانَ شَجَرُكَ مُثْمِرًا أَكَلْتَ وَأَطْعَمْتَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ شَجَرُكَ غَيْرَ مُثْمِرٍ فَإِنَّ فِي أَصْلِ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ فَأْسًا» ،
ʾaw qāla: ʿaẓīman, «wanaṣabta ʿalayhi shajaran kathīran, faʾin kāna shajaruka muthmiran ʾakalta waʾaṭʿamta, waʾin kāna shajaruka ghayra muthmirin faʾinna fī ʾaṣli kulli shajaratin faʾsan» ,
or he said “a great river”—“and planted many trees along it. If your trees bear fruit, you will eat and feed others. If they bear none, an axe waits at the foot of every tree.”
قَالَ: يَقُولُ اِبْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ لِعَوْنٍ : ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟
qāla: yaqūlu ibnu maysarata liʿawnin : thumma mādhā?
Ibn Maysarah asked ʿAwn, “What then?”
قَالَ عَوْنٌ: «ثُمَّ تُقْطَعُ» ،
qāla ʿawnun: «thumma tuqṭaʿu» ,
ʿAwn answered, “They are cut down.”
قَالَ اِبْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ: ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟
qāla ibnu maysarata: thumma mādhā?
Ibn Maysarah asked, “What then?”
قَالَ عَوْنٌ: «ثُمَّ تُوقَدُ بِالنَّارِ» ،
qāla ʿawnun: «thumma tūqadu bi-al-nāri» ,
ʿAwn answered, “Then they are burned in the fire.”
فَسَكَتَ اِبْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ "
fasakata ibnu maysarata "
Ibn Maysarah fell silent.
قَالَ بَقِيَّةُ: فَسَمِعْتُ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ حَكِيمٍ يَقُولُ: قَالَ لِي عَوْنٌ: فَلَقِيتُهُ بِوَاسِطَ، فَقَالَ: «مَا وَقَعَتْ مِنْ قَلْبِي مَوْعِظَةٌ قَطُّ كَمَوْعِظَةِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ»
qāla baqiyyatu: fasamiʿtu ʿutbata bna ḥakīmin yaqūlu: qāla lī ʿawnun: falaqītuhu biwāsiṭa, faqāla: «mā waqaʿat min qalbī mawʿiẓatun qaṭṭu kamawʿiẓati yazīda bni maysarata»
Baqiyyah said: I heard ʿUtbah ibn Ḥakīm say: ʿAwn spoke to me; I then met him in Wāsiṭ, and he said, “No admonition has ever struck my heart as deeply as Yazīd ibn Maysarah’s.” [The source does not explicitly identify the referent of “him” in this compressed continuation.]
١٤٤٤ - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَيَّانَ الْكَلْبِيُّ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيُّ

who said: ʿAwn ibn ʿAbd Allāh arrived, entered the mosque, and gave us an admonition unlike any we had heard.
فَقَالَ: «هَلْ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مَرِيضٌ نَعُودُهُ؟»
faqāla: «hal fīkum ʾaḥadun marīḍun naʿūduhu?»
He asked, “Is anyone among you ill whom we can visit?”
قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ،
qāla: qulnā: yazīdu bnu maysarata,
We said, “Yazīd ibn Maysarah.”
قَالَ: فَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ فِيهِ، فَدَخَلَهُ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ،

We accompanied him to the mosque where the Companions of the Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, had prayed; he entered and performed two cycles.
ثُمَّ مَضَيْنَا حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا مَعَهُ عَلَى يَزِيدَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ،
thumma maḍaynā ḥattā dakhalnā maʿahu ʿalā yazīda bni maysarata, wahuwa muḍṭajiʿun ʿalā firāshihi,
Then we went with him to Yazīd ibn Maysarah, who was lying on his bed.
فَوَعَظَنَا عَوْنٌ مَوْعِظَةً أَنْسَانَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ،
fawaʿaẓanā ʿawnun mawʿiẓatan ʾansānā al-latī kānat fī al-masjidi,
ʿAwn delivered another admonition that made us forget the one in the mosque.
فَاسْتَوَى يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ جَالِسًا، فَقَالَ: «بَخٍ بَخٍ، قَدِ اِسْتَعْرَضْتَ بَحْرًا عَرِيضًا، وَاسْتَخْرَجْتَ مِنْهُ نَهَرًا عَظِيمًا، وَنَصَبْتَ عَلَيْهِ شَجَرًا كَثِيرًا، فَإِنْ يَكُ شَجَرُكَ شَجَرًا مُثْمِرًا أَكَلْتَ وَأَطْعَمْتَ، وَإِنْ يَكُ شَجَرُكَ شَجَرًا غَيْرَ مُثْمِرٍ فَإِنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ أَصْلِ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ فَأْسًا»
fa-stawā yazīdu bnu maysarata jālisan, faqāla: «bakhin bakhin, qadi istaʿraḍta baḥran ʿarīḍan, wa-stakhrajta minhu naharan ʿaẓīman, wanaṣabta ʿalayhi shajaran kathīran, faʾin yaku shajaruka shajaran muthmiran ʾakalta waʾaṭʿamta, waʾin yaku shajaruka shajaran ghayra muthmirin faʾinna min warāʾi ʾaṣli kulli shajaratin faʾsan»
Yazīd sat up and said, “Well, well! You surveyed a vast sea, drew a great river from it, and planted many trees along it. If your trees bear fruit, you will eat and feed others; if they do not, an axe stands behind every tree.”
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَزِيدُ لِعَوْنٍ: ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟
thumma qāla yazīdu liʿawnin: thumma mādhā?
Yazīd asked ʿAwn, “What then?”
قَالَ عَوْنٌ: «ثُمَّ تُقْطَعُ»

He asked, “What then?”
قَالَ: «ثُمَّ تُوضَعُ فِي النَّارِ»

فَقَالَ: هُوَ ذَاكَ
faqāla: huwa dhāka
He replied, “That is it.”

قَالُوا: وَلَا إِيَّاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
qālū: walā ʾiyyāka yā rasūla allāhi
They asked, “Not even you, Messenger of God?”
قَالَ: «وَلَا إِيَّايَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِي اللَّهُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ أَوْ تَسَعَنِي مِنْهُ عَافِيَتُهُ»
qāla: «walā ʾiyyāya ʾillā ʾan yataghammadanī allāhu biraḥmatihi ʾaw tasaʿanī minhu ʿāfiyatuhu»
He replied, “Not even me, unless God enfolds me in His mercy or His gracious protection encompasses me.”

who said: Whenever he recited, “Who speaks better than one who calls to God, does good, and says, ‘I am one of those who submit’?” [Fuṣṣilat 41:33],
قَالَ: “ هَذَا حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ، هَذَا وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ، هَذَا صَفْوَةُ اللَّهِ، هَذَا خِيرَةُ اللَّهِ، هَذَا أَحَبُّ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى اللَّهِ، أَجَابَ اللَّهَ فِي دَعْوَتِهِ، وَدَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى مَا أَجَابَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ مِنْ دَعْوَتِهِ، وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فِي إِجَابَتِهِ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لِرَبِّهِ، هَذَا خَلِيفَةُ اللَّهِ ”،

he would say, “This is God’s beloved, God’s friend, His chosen one, His elect, the person on earth dearest to Him. He answered God’s call and called others to what he himself answered, did good in response, and said he submitted to his Lord. This is God’s vicegerent.”
وَكَانَ إِذَا تَلَا {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اِسْتَقَامُوا} [فُصِّلَتْ: ٣٠]

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَأْكُلُوا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا أَقْعَدَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنَابِرَ، الْحَجَرُ مِنْهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا» .

and said, “Do not make a living from God’s Book. If you refrain, God will seat you on pulpits whose very stone is better than the world and all it contains.”
قَالَ عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ: “ وَهِيَ الْمَقَاعِدُ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ {فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ} [الْقَمَرِ: ٥٥] وَرُفِعَ ”

ʿAbd al-Jabbār said, “These are the seats God mentions in the Qurʾān: ‘In a seat of truth before an all-powerful Sovereign’ [al-Qamar 54:55]. And he was raised.”
١٤٤٨ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ

وَهُوَ يُبْصِرُ فِي عَيْنِ أَخِيهِ الْقَذَى فَيَعِيبُهُ وَيَكُونُ فِي عَيْنِهِ الْجِذْعُ فَلَا يَعِيبُهُ،

he notices a speck in his brother’s eye and criticizes him, yet ignores a beam in his own;
وَيَكُونُ فِي دَابَّتِهِ الصَّعَرُ فَيُقَوِّمُهَا بِجَهْدِهِ، وَيَكُونُ فِيهِ الصَّعَرُ فَلَا يُقَوِّمُ نَفْسَهُ ”
wayakūnu fī dābbatihi al-ṣaʿaru fayuqawwimuhā bijahdihi, wayakūnu fīhi al-ṣaʿaru falā yuqawwimu nafsahu ”
he works hard to correct his animal’s crookedness but does nothing about his own.”

أَنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ، اِسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فِي الْقَصَصِ،
ʾanna tamīman al-dāriyya, istaʾdhana ʿumara bna al-khaṭṭābi, fī al-qaṣaṣi,
Tamīm al-Dārī asked ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb for permission to address people with exhortatory accounts.
فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ عَلَيَّ مِثْلُ الذَّبْحِ،
faqāla: ʾinnahu ʿalayya mithlu al-dhabḥi,
He said, “It feels to me like being slaughtered.”
فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَرْجُو الْعَافِيَةَ»
faqāla: «ʾinnī ʾarjū al-ʿāfiyata»
He said, “I hope for well-being.”
فَأَذِنَ لَهُ عُمَرُ، فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ - يَعْنِي عُمَرَ - يَوْمًا،
faʾadhina lahu ʿumaru, fajalasa ʾilayhi - yaʿnī ʿumara - yawman,
ʿUmar granted permission and sat with him one day.
فَقَالَ تَمِيمٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ: «اِتَّقُوا زَلَّةَ الْعَالِمِ» ،
faqāla tamīmun fī qawlihi: «ittaqū zallata al-ʿālimi» ,
Tamīm said, “Beware the scholar’s slip.”
فَكَرِهَ عُمَرُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ عَنْهُ، فَيَقْطَعَ بِالْقَوْمِ، فَحَضَرَ مِنْهُ قِيَامٌ،
fakariha ʿumaru ʾan yasʾalahu ʿanhu, fayaqṭaʿa bi-al-qawmi, faḥaḍara minhu qiyāmun,
ʿUmar did not wish to interrupt him by asking what he meant while the people listened. When ʿUmar had to rise,
فَقَالَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: إِذَا فَرَغَ فَسَلْهُ، مَا زَلَّةُ الْعَالِمِ؟
faqāla libni ʿabbāsin: ʾidhā faragha fasalhu, mā zallatu al-ʿālimi?
he told Ibn ʿAbbās, “When he finishes, ask him what the scholar’s slip means.”
ثُمَّ قَامَ عُمَرُ، فَجَلَسَ اِبْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَغَفَلَ غَفْلَةً،
thumma qāma ʿumaru, fajalasa ibnu ʿabbāsin faghafala ghaflatan,
ʿUmar left; Ibn ʿAbbās sat down, but his attention wandered.
وَفَرَغَ تَمِيمٌ، وَقَامَ يُصَلِّي، وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ الصَّلَاةَ،
wafaragha tamīmun, waqāma yuṣallī, wakāna yuṭīlu al-ṣalāta,
Tamīm finished and stood to pray, as he used to pray at length.
فَقَالَ اِبْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: لَوْ رَجَعْتُ فَقِلْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ
faqāla ibnu ʿabbāsin: law rajaʿtu faqiltu thumma ʾataytuhu
Ibn ʿAbbās thought, “Perhaps I should go back and take a midday rest, then return to him.”
فَرَجَعَ، وَطَالَ عَلَى عُمَرَ،

He returned, and ʿUmar waited a long time.
فَأَتَى اِبْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، فَسَأَلَهُ،

Ibn ʿAbbās apologized.

ʿUmar said, “Come,” took his hand, and went with him to Tamīm al-Dārī.
فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا زَلَّةُ الْعَالِمِ؟ فَقَالَ: «الْعَالِمُ يَزِلُّ بِالنَّاسِ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِهِ، فَعَسَى أَنْ يَتُوبَ مِنْهُ الْعَالِمُ، وَالنَّاسُ يَأْخُذُونَ بِهِ»

He asked, “What is the scholar’s slip?” Tamīm replied, “A scholar slips and people adopt his mistake. The scholar may repent, while the people continue to follow it.”

concerning God Most High’s words, “Those mindful of their Lord will be led to Paradise in groups” [al-Zumar 39:73].
قَالَ: “ سِيقُوا حَتَّى إِذَا اِنْتَهَوْا إِلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَجَدُوا عِنْدَ بَابِهَا شَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَاقِهَا عَيْنَانِ،

فَغُمِسُوا فِي إِحْدَاهُمَا كَأَنَّمَا أُمِرُوا بِهَا، فَاطَّهَّرُوا مِنْهَا فَجَرَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ نَضْرَةُ النَّعِيمِ، فَلَنْ تُغَبَّرَ أَبْشَارُهُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَبَدًا، وَلَنْ تَشْعَثَ أَشْعَارُهُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَبَدًا، كَأَنَّمَا دُهِنُوا بِالدِّهَانِ،

They are dipped into one spring, as though instructed to use it, and are cleansed. The freshness of bliss passes over them: their skin will never be dusty again, nor their hair disheveled, as though anointed with oil.
ثُمَّ غُمِسُوا فِي الْأُخْرَى كَأَنَّمَا أُمِرُوا بِهَا، فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهَا فَأَذْهَبَتْ مَا كَانَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ مِنْ أَذًى وَقَذًى،

They are dipped into the other spring, again as though instructed, then drink from it; everything harmful and impure within them disappears.
وَتَلَقَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ {سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوهَا خَالِدِينَ} [الزُّمَرِ: ٧٣]

The angels meet them at the gates of Paradise: “Peace be upon you. You have become pure, so enter it forever” [al-Zumar 39:73].
ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ خَزَنَةُ الْجَنَّةِ يَسْتَقْبِلُونَهُمْ أَنْ {سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوهَا خَالِدِينَ} [الزُّمَرِ: ٧٣]

She asks, “Have you seen him?”
فَيَقُولُ: نَعَمْ،
fayaqūlu: naʿam,
He answers, “Yes.”

He comes inside and finds cushions arrayed, carpets spread, and cups set out.
ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى تَأْسِيسِ بُنْيَانِهِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ أُسِّسَ عَلَى جَنْدَلِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ، فِيهِ أَخْضَرُ، وَأَبْيَضُ، وَأَصْفَرُ، وَأَحْمَرُ مِنْ كُلِّ لَوْنٍ،

He sees the foundations of his dwelling laid upon pearl stones, with green, white, yellow, red, and every hue.
ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ طَرْفَهُ إِلَى سَقْفِهِ، فَلَوْلَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدَّرَهُ لَهُ لَأَلَمَّ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بَصَرُهُ،

He looks at his spouses among the wide-eyed companions and reclines on one of his couches.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلَا أَنْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ} [الْأَعْرَافِ: ٤٣] ”

“Even the lowest-ranked person in Paradise is served a meal on seventy thousand gold dishes, each with food unlike the others. The last tastes as delicious as the first, with nothing inferior among them.”

who said that Ḥudhayfah said: A person seeking help stood up during the Prophet’s lifetime, God bless him and give him peace, and asked for aid. The people were silent until one man gave, and then the rest gave too.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنِ اِسْتَنَّ خَيْرًا فَاسْتُنَّ بِهِ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ غَيْرُ مُنْتَقِصٍ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ، وَمَنِ اِسْتَنَّ شَرًّا فَاسْتُنَّ بِهِ فَعَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أَوْزَارِ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ غَيْرُ مُنْتَقِصٍ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ»

God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, said, “Whoever establishes a good practice that others follow receives its reward and the like of their rewards, with no reduction in theirs. Whoever establishes an evil practice that others follow bears its burden and the like of their burdens, with no reduction in theirs.”

One day they gathered around him.
فَقَالَ: إِنَّا قَدْ خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَقَدْ فَارَقْنَا الْأَهْلَ وَالْأَمْوَالَ مَخَافَةَ الطُّغْيَانِ،
faqāla: ʾinnā qad kharajnā mina al-dunyā, waqad fāraqnā al-ʾahla wa-al-ʾamwāla makhāfata al-ṭughyāni,
He said, We have withdrawn from worldly life and parted from family and possessions for fear of overstepping bounds.
وَقَدْ خِفْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا فِي حَالِنَا هَذِهِ مِنَ الطُّغْيَانِ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَمْوَالِ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ،

Yet I fear more excess may have entered our present way of life than has entered the lives of wealthy people through their possessions.
أُرَانَا يُحِبُّ أَحَدُنَا أَنْ تُقْضَى حَاجَتُهُ، وَإِنِ اِشْتَرَى بَيْعًا أَنْ يُقَارَبَ لِمَكَانِ دِينِهِ، وَإِنْ لُقِيَ حُيِّيَ وَوُقِّرَ لِمَكَانِ دِينِهِ،

فَأَمَرَ بِهِ، فَأُتِيَ عَلَى مَسْكٍ فَوُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ،

He called for it. It was brought on a skin and set before him, and he began to eat.

He had been fasting during the day without breaking it, and the king now stood before him.
فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَجَابَهُ إِجَابَةً خَفِيَّةً، وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى طَعَامِهِ يَأْكُلُهُ،

The king greeted him; he answered faintly and continued eating.
فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: أَيْنَ الرَّجُلُ؟

The king asked, “Where is the man?”

qāla mā ʿinda hādhā khayrun,
The king said, “There is no good in this man.”
فَأَدْبَرَ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَرَفَكَ عَنِّي بِمَا صَرَفَكَ بِهِ ”
faʾadbara, faqāla al-rajulu: al-ḥamdu li-llāhi al-ladhī ṣarafaka ʿannī bimā ṣarafaka bihi ”
He turned away, and the man said, “Praise be to God, who turned you away from me by whatever made you turn away.”

“ إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ سَمِعَ بِاجْتِهَادِهِ، فَقَالَ: لَآتِيَنَّهُ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَلَأُسَلِّمَنَّ عَلَيْهِ،
“ ʾinna al-malika samiʿa bijtihādihi, faqāla: laʾātiyannahu yawma kadhā wakadhā, walaʾusallimanna ʿalayhi,
“The king heard of the man’s devotion and said, I will visit and greet him on such-and-such a day.
وَأَسْرَعَتِ الْبُشْرَى إِلَى الرَّاهِبِ،
waʾasraʿati al-bushrā ʾilā al-rāhibi,
Word of the impending visit quickly reached the monk.
فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِيهِ، خَرَجَ إِلَى مُتَضَحًّى لَهُ قُدَّامَ مُصَلَّاهُ،
falammā kāna dhālika al-yawmu al-ladhī ẓanna ʾannahu yaʾtīhi, kharaja ʾilā mutaḍaḥḥan lahu quddāma muṣallāhu,
On the appointed day he went to a sunny place in front of his place of prayer.
وَخَرَجَ بِمِنْسَفٍ فِيهِ بَقْلٌ، وَزَيْتٌ، وَحِمَّصٌ،
wakharaja biminsafin fīhi baqlun, wazaytun, waḥimmaṣun,
He brought a tray with greens, oil, and chickpeas
فَوَضَعَهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ،
fawaḍaʿahu qarīban minhu,
and set it nearby.
فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفَ إِذَا هُوَ بِالْمَلِكِ مُقْبِلٌ، وَمَعَهُ سَوَادٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَدْ أَحَاطُوا بِهِ، فَلَا يُرَى سَهْلٌ وَلَا جَبَلٌ إِلَّا قَدْ مُلِئَ مِنَ النَّاسِ،

When the king appeared, a great throng surrounded him, filling the plain and hills.
فَجَعَلَ الرَّاهِبُ يَجْمَعُ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْبُقُولِ وَالطَّعَامِ، وَيُعَظِّمُ اللُّقْمَةَ، فَيَغْمِسُهُ بِالزَّيْتِ، وَيَأْكُلُهُ أَكْلًا عَنِيفًا، وَهُوَ وَاضِعٌ رَأْسَهُ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَنْ أَتَاهُ،

The monk took large mouthfuls of the greens and food, dipped them in oil, and ate roughly, head lowered, without looking at the approaching visitor.
فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: أَيْنَ صَاحِبُكُمْ؟
faqāla al-maliku: ʾayna ṣāḥibukum?
The king asked, “Where is your companion?”
قَالُوا: هُوَ هَذَا،

They replied, “That is he.”
فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا فُلَانُ؟
faqāla al-maliku: kayfa ʾanta yā fulānu?
The king asked, “How are you, So-and-so?”

faqāla - wahuwa yaʾkulu dhālika al-ʾakla -: ka-al-nāsi,
Still eating in that way, the monk answered, “Like other people.”
فَرَدَّ الْمَلِكُ عِنَانَ دَابَّتِهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا فِي هَذَا خَيْرٌ،
faradda al-maliku ʿināna dābbatihi, faqāla: mā fī hādhā khayrun,
The king turned his mount around, saying, “There is no good in him.”
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ هُوَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ، قَالَ الرَّاهِبُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنِّي، وَهُوَ لِي لَائِمٌ ”
falammā dhahaba huwa waman maʿahu, qāla al-rāhibu: al-ḥamdu li-llāhi al-ladhī ʾadhhaba ʿannī, wahuwa lī lāʾimun ”
When he and his entourage left, the monk said, “Praise be to God, who sent him away from me while he found fault with me.”

“One of the finest men of his age was brought before a king who tested people by ordering them to eat pork.

falammā ʾutiya bihi ʾaʿẓama al-nāsu makānahu, wahālahum ʾamruhu,
The people held the man in great esteem and were alarmed for him.
فَقَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُ شُرْطَةِ الْمَلِكِ: اِئْتِنِي بِجَدْيٍ تُزَكِّيهِ مِمَّا تَذْبَحُهُ، يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَكْلُهُ، فَأَعْطِنِيهِ، فَإِنْ دَعَا بِلَحْمِ الْخِنْزِيرِ أَتَيْتُكَ بِهِ، فَكُلْهُ،

The king’s police chief said, “Bring me a kid goat slaughtered lawfully so you may eat it. If the king calls for pork, I will bring you your goat meat instead; eat it.”
فَذَبَحَ جَدْيًا فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ،
fadhabaḥa jadyan faʾaʿṭāhu ʾiyyāhu,
The man slaughtered a kid goat and gave it to him.

thumma ʾutiya bihi al-malika, fadaʿā bilaḥmi al-khinzīri,
He was brought to the king, who called for pork.

فَأَمَرَهُ الْمَلِكُ بِأَكْلِهِ، فَأَبَى،
faʾamarahu al-maliku biʾaklihi, faʾabā,
The king ordered him to eat, but he refused.
فَجَعَلَ صَاحِبُ الشُّرْطَةِ يَغْمِزُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَأْمُرُهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ، وَيُرِيهِ أَنَّ اللَّحْمَ الَّذِي دَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ،

The police chief signaled that it was the meat he had received from him and urged him to eat. The man still refused.
فَأَمَرَ بِهِ الْمَلِكُ صَاحِبَ الشُّرْطَةِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ،
faʾamara bihi al-maliku ṣāḥiba al-shurṭati ʾan yaqtulahu,
The king ordered the police chief to put him to death.
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ بِهِ قَالَ: مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ وَهُوَ اللَّحْمُ الَّذِي دَفَعْتَ إِلَيَّ؟ أَظَنَنْتَ أَنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ بِغَيْرِهِ؟

As he led him away, the chief asked, “Why did you not eat? It was the meat you gave me. Did you think I brought you something else?”
قَالَ: لَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ هُوَ، وَلَكِنِّي خِفْتُ أَنْ يُفْتَتَنَ النَّاسُ بِي، فَإِذَا أُرِيدَ أَحَدُهُمْ عَلَى أَكْلِ لَحْمِ الْخِنْزِيرِ، قَالَ: قَدْ أَكَلَهُ فُلَانٌ، فَيُسْتَنَّ بِي، فَأَكُونَ فِتْنَةً لَهُمْ،

He replied, “No, I knew it was my meat. But I feared people would be misled by my example. When ordered to eat pork, they would say So-and-so ate it, imitate me, and be put to the test because of me.”
فَقُتِلَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ”

He was killed. May God have mercy on him.”

أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَأَى عَلَى طَلْحَةَ ثَوْبَيْنِ مَصْبُوغَيْنِ بِالْمِشْقِ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ،

فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَانِ الثَّوْبَانِ عَلَيْكَ؟»
faqāla: «mā hādhāni al-thawbāni ʿalayka?»
He asked, “What are these two garments you are wearing?”

faqāla ṭalḥatu: ʾinnahumā laysa bihimā baʾsun, ʾinnahumā ṣubighā bimadarin,
Ṭalḥah answered, “There is no problem with them. They were dyed with red earth.”
فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: “ إِنَّكُمْ أَئِمَّةٌ يَقْتَدِي بِكُمُ النَّاسُ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدًا جَاهِلًا رَأَى عَلَيْكَ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا فِي الْحَرَمِ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ طَلْحَةَ يَلْبَسُ الثِّيَابَ الْمَصْبُوغَةَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ، فَلَا يَلْبَسْ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الرَّهْطُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الثِّيَابِ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ ”

ʿUmar said, “You are models whom others follow. If someone uninformed saw you wearing dyed clothes in the sanctuary, he would say, ‘Ṭalḥah wore dyed clothing while in consecration.’ So none of you, my companions, should wear such clothing while in that state.”

who said, “What it sent ahead of good, and the bad deed it left behind that was imitated after him: he has a reward equal to those who followed him, with no reduction in their rewards [reading uncertain: the source joins a bad deed with a reward];
أَوْ سُنَّةٍ سَيِّئَةٍ عُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ، فَعَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ وِزْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا وَلَا يُنْقِصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ»

who said: The prophets, God’s blessings upon them, had places of prayer outside their towns.
فَإِذَا أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَسْتَنْبِئَ رَبَّهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِهِ فَصَلَّى مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ مَا بَدَا لَهُ،

When a prophet, God bless him and give him peace, wished to ask his Lord about something, he went to his place of prayer, prayed as much as God allotted, then asked what was on his mind.
فَبَيْنَمَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ إِذْ جَاءَهُ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ حَتَّى جَلَسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ،
fabaynamā nabiyyu allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama fī masjidihi ʾidh jāʾahu ʿaduwwu allāhi ḥattā jalasa baynahu wabayna al-qiblati,
While a prophet of God, God bless him and give him peace, was in his place of prayer, God’s enemy came and sat between him and the direction of prayer.
فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ»
faqāla: «ʾinnī ʾaʿūdhu bi-allāhi mina al-shayṭāni»
The prophet said, “I seek refuge in God from Satan.”

faqāla ʿaduwwu allāhi: ʾaraʾayta al-ladhī taʿawwadhu minhu? fahuwa huwa,
God’s enemy asked, “Do you see the one you seek refuge from? Here he is.”
وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ»
waqāla al-nabiyyu ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama: «ʾaʿūdhu bi-allāhi mina al-shayṭāni al-rajīmi»
The prophet, God bless him and give him peace, said, “I seek refuge in God from the accursed Satan.”
فَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ،
faraddada dhālika thalātha marrātin,
He repeated this three times.
قَالَ لَهُ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ: “ أَخْبِرْنِي بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَنْجُو بِهِ مِنِّي؟
qāla lahu ʿaduwwu allāhi: “ ʾakhbirnī biʾayyi shayʾin tanjū bihi minnī?
God’s enemy asked, “Tell me how you escape me.”
قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَغْلِبُ اِبْنَ آدَمَ؟»
qāla lahu al-nabiyyu ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama: «ʾakhbirnī biʾayyi shayʾin taghlibu ibna ʾādama?»
The prophet, God bless him and give him peace, replied, “Tell me how you overcome the child of Adam.”
فَأَخَذَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ،
faʾakhadha kullu wāḥidin min ṣāḥibihi,
Each pressed the other for an answer.
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ” إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: {إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ إِلَّا مَنِ اِتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ} [الْحِجْرِ: ٤٢] “

The prophet, God bless him and give him peace, said, “God Most High says, ‘You have no power over My servants except those who follow you among the wayward’” [al-Ḥijr 15:42].
فَقَالَ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تُولَدَ،
faqāla ʿaduwwu allāhi: qad samiʿtu hādhā qabla ʾan tūlada,
God’s enemy replied, “I heard that before you were born.”
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”
faqāla al-nabiyyu ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama: ”
The prophet, God bless him and give him peace, went on:
وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {وَإِمَّا يَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ} [فُصِّلَتْ: ٣٦] فَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا أَحْسَسْتُ بِكَ قَطُّ إِلَّا اِسْتَعَذْتُ بِاللَّهِ "
wayaqūlu allāhu taʿālā: {waʾimmā yanzaghannaka mina al-shayṭāni nazghun fa-staʿidh bi-allāhi ʾinnahu huwa al-samīʿu al-ʿalīmu} [fuṣṣilat: 36] faʾinnī wa-allāhi mā ʾaḥsastu bika qaṭṭu ʾillā istaʿadhtu bi-allāhi "
“God Most High also says, ‘If an evil prompting from Satan stirs you, seek refuge in God. He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing’ [Fuṣṣilat 41:36]. By God, whenever I sensed you, I sought refuge in God.”
فَقَالَ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ: صَدَقْتَ، بِهَا تَنْجُو مِنِّي،
faqāla ʿaduwwu allāhi: ṣadaqta, bihā tanjū minnī,
God’s enemy replied, “You speak the truth. That is how you escape me.”
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَغْلِبُ اِبْنَ آدَمَ؟»

The prophet, God bless him and give him peace, asked again, “Tell me how you overcome the child of Adam.”

He answered, “I seize him when he is angry and when desire takes hold.”

“ كَانَ رَجُلٌ عَابِدٌ مِنَ السُّيَّاحِ أَرَادَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الشَّهْوَةِ، وَالرَّغْبَةِ، وَالْغَضَبِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ لَهُ شَيْئًا ,

“There was a wandering worshipper whom Satan tried to overcome through appetite, longing, and anger, but he could not prevail.
فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهُ بِحَيَّةٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَالْتَوَتْ بِقَدَمَيْهِ وَجَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ أَطْلَعَ رَأْسَهُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْتَأَخِرْ مِنْهَا،

Satan appeared as a snake during prayer, coiled around his feet and body, and raised its head beside his. The worshipper neither turned away nor withdrew from prayer.
فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ الْتَوَتْ فِي مَوْضِعِ سُجُودِهِ،
falammā ʾarāda ʾan yasjuda iltawat fī mawḍiʿi sujūdihi,
When he intended to prostrate, it coiled where his head would touch.
فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ لِيَسْجُدَ فَتَحَ فَاهُ لِيَلْتَقِمَ رَأْسَهُ،
falammā waḍaʿa raʾsahu liyasjuda fataḥa fāhu liyaltaqima raʾsahu,
As he lowered his head, the snake opened its mouth to swallow it.
فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَفْرُكُهُ حَتَّى اِسْتَمْكَنَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ لِسَجْدَتِهِ،
fawaḍaʿa raʾsahu fajaʿala yafrukuhu ḥattā istamkana mina al-ʾarḍi lisajdatihi,
He set his head down and kept rubbing it until he could place it firmly on the ground in prostration.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ: إِنِّي أَنَا صَاحِبُكَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أُخَوِّفُكَ فَأَتَيْتُكَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الشَّهْوَةِ، وَالرَّغْبَةِ، وَالْغَضَبِ، وَأَنَا كُنْتُ أَتَمَثَّلُ لَكَ بِالسِّبَاعِ وَالْحَيَّةِ، فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ بِكَ،

Satan said, “I am the adversary who used to frighten you. I came at you through appetite, longing, and anger; I appeared as beasts and as this snake, but I could not overcome you.
وَقَدْ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أُصَادِقَكَ وَلَا أُرِيدُ ضَلَالَتَكَ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ،
waqad badā lī ʾan ʾuṣādiqaka walā ʾurīdu ḍalālataka baʿda al-yawmi,
Now I want to be your friend and no longer lead you astray.”
فَقَالَ لَهُ: لَا , أَنَا يَوْمَ خَوَّفْتَنِي بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ خِفْتُكَ، وَلَا الْيَوْمَ بِي حَاجَةٌ إِلَى مُصَادَقَتِكَ،
faqāla lahu: lā , ʾanā yawma khawwaftanī biḥamdi allāhi khiftuka, walā al-yawma bī ḥājatun ʾilā muṣādaqatika,
The worshipper said, “No. Praise be to God, I did not fear you when you tried to frighten me, and today I have no need of your friendship.”
قَالَ: سَلْ عَمَّ شِئْتَ فَأُخْبِرْكَ؟
qāla: sal ʿamma shiʾta faʾukhbirka?
Satan said, “Ask me whatever you wish, and I will tell you.”
قَالَ: وَمَا عَسَيْتَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ؟
qāla: wamā ʿasayta ʾan ʾasʾalaka ʿanhu?
The worshipper asked, “What would I ask you?”
قَالَ: لَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْ مَالِكَ مَا فُعِلَ بَعْدَكَ،
qāla: lā tasʾalnī ʿan mālika mā fuʿila baʿdaka,
Satan said, “Will you not ask me what became of your property after you left?”
قَالَ: لَوْ أَرَدْتُ مَالِي لَمْ أُفَارِقْهُ،
qāla: law ʾaradtu mālī lam ʾufāriqhu,
He replied, “If I wanted my property, I would not have left it.”
قَالَ: فَلَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْ أَهْلِكَ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْهُمْ بَعْدَكَ،
qāla: falā tasʾalnī ʿan ʾahlika man māta minhum baʿdaka,
Satan said, “Then will you not ask who among your family died after you left?”
قَالَ: أَنَا مُتُّ قَبْلَهُمْ،
qāla: ʾanā muttu qablahum,
He answered, “I died to them before they died.”
قَالَ: فَلَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَمَّا أُضِلُّ بِهِ اِبْنَ آدَمَ؟
qāla: falā tasʾalnī ʿammā ʾuḍillu bihi ibna ʾādama?
Satan asked, “Then will you not ask how I lead the child of Adam astray?”
قَالَ: بَلَى , فَأَخْبِرْنِي مَا أَوْثَقُ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ أَنْ تُضِلَّهُمْ بِهِ؟
qāla: balā , faʾakhbirnī mā ʾawthaqu mā fī nafsika ʾan tuḍillahum bihi?
The worshipper said, “Yes. Tell me: what do you most rely on to mislead them?”
قَالَ: ثَلَاثَةُ أَخْلَاقٍ , مَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهَا غَلَبَنَا: الشُّحُّ، وَالْحِدَّةُ، وَالسُّكْرُ،
qāla: thalāthatu ʾakhlāqin , man lam yastaṭiʿhu bishayʾin minhā ghalabanā: al-shuḥḥu, wa-al-ḥiddatu, wa-al-sukru,
Satan replied, “Three traits. Whoever we cannot reach through any of them defeats us: stinginess, hot temper, and intoxication.
فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا كَانَ شَحِيحًا قَلَّلْنَا مَالَهُ فِي عَيْنِهِ، وَرَغَّبْنَاهُ فِي أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ،
faʾinna al-rajula ʾidhā kāna shaḥīḥan qallalnā mālahu fī ʿaynihi, waraghghabnāhu fī ʾamwāli al-nāsi,
When someone is stingy, we make his own wealth seem small and others’ wealth enticing.
وَإِذَا كَانَ حَدِيدًا تَدَاوَرْنَاهُ بِعَيْنِنَا كَمَا يَتَدَاوَرُ الصِّبْيَانُ الْأُكْرَةَ بَيْنَهُمْ،
waʾidhā kāna ḥadīdan tadāwarnāhu biʿayninā kamā yatadāwaru al-ṣibyānu al-ʾukrata baynahum,
When he is quick-tempered, we pass him around “with our eye,” like boys passing a ball among themselves. [The source’s phrase “with our eye” is uncertain.]
وَلَوْ كَانَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى بِدَعْوَتِهِ لَمْ نَأْيَسْ مِنْهُ،
walaw kāna yuḥyī al-mawtā bidaʿwatihi lam naʾyas minhu,
Even if his prayers revived the dead, we would not despair of him;
فَإِنَّمَا يَبْنِي وَيَهْدِمُهُ لَنَا بِكَلِمَةٍ،
faʾinnamā yabnī wayahdimuhu lanā bikalimatin,
he builds and destroys it all for us with a single word.
وَإِذَا سَكِرَ اِقْتَدْنَاهُ إِلَى كُلِّ سُوءٍ كَمَا يَقْتَادُ مَنْ أَخَذَ الْعَنْزَ بِأُذُنِهَا حَيْثُ شَاءَ ”
waʾidhā sakira iqtadnāhu ʾilā kulli sūʾin kamā yaqtādu man ʾakhadha al-ʿanza biʾudhunihā ḥaythu shāʾa ”
When he is drunk, we lead him into every evil just as one leads a goat wherever one wishes by its ear.”

«ʾinna fī al-jannati lasūqan mā fīhā bayʿun walā shirāʾun , ʾillā al-ṣuwaru mina al-rijāli wa-al-nisāʾi, mani ishtahā ṣūratan dakhalahā» qāla: “ wafīhā mujtamaʿu ḥūri al-ʿīni yarfaʿna ʾaṣwātan lam yasmaʿi al-khalāʾiqu mithlahā, yaqulna: naḥnu al-khālidātu falā nabīdu, wanaḥnu al-nāʿimātu falā nabʾusu, wanaḥnu al-rāḍiyātu falā naskhaṭu, faṭūbā liman kāna lanā wakunnā lahu ”
In Paradise there is a market with neither buying nor selling, only forms of men and women; whoever desires a form enters it. There the wide-eyed maidens gather and raise voices unlike any heard by creation: “We live forever and never perish; we enjoy bliss and never suffer; we are content and never displeased. Blessed is the one who belongs to us and to whom we belong.”

The fruits of the palms of Paradise are the size of great jars. Whenever one is picked, another grows in its place. Al-Ḥusayn said: He also mentioned grapes to me, but the words were lost when that part of my book was torn; he did say that a cluster is twelve cubits long. We asked Abū ʿUbaydah who told him, and he became angry and answered, “Masrūq.”

The palms of Paradise bear fruit densely from root to crown; their fruits are the size of great jars, and whenever one is plucked another takes its place.

He asked Wahb to accompany him; when they reached the group he said, “Tell them what the young man said to Job in his condition.” Wahb said: “The young man said, ‘Job, were the greatness of God, glorified and exalted, and the remembrance of death not enough to weary your tongue, cut you to the heart, and silence your argument? Did you not know that God Most High has servants whom fear of God Most High has silenced, though they are neither inarticulate nor mute? They are noble, eloquent, articulate, intelligent, and knowledgeable about God, glorified is He, and His signs. Yet when they remember His greatness, their hearts break, their tongues grow weary, and their minds and judgment reel with fear and awe of Him. When they recover, they race toward God with pure deeds. They do not think much service enough for God, nor are they content to offer Him little. They count themselves among the wrongdoers and sinners, though they are pure, upright, and good; they count themselves among the negligent, though they are shrewd and strong. Worn thin and wasted, they look sick to the ignorant, but they are not ill; people may say they have lost their senses, yet they have engaged with a tremendous matter.’”

samiʿtu yūnusa yaqūlu: «mā raʾaytu mina al-nāsi ʾaḥadan ʾaṭwala ḥuznan mina al-ḥasani»
I heard Yūnus say, “I have seen no one whose sorrow lasted longer than al-Ḥasan’s.”
وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ: “ نَضْحَكُ وَلَا نَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ قَدِ اِطَّلَعَ عَلَى بَعْضِ أَعْمَالِنَا، فَقَالَ: لَا أَقْبَلُ مِنْكُمْ شَيْئًا ”

When Abū Muslim al-Khawlānī had grown old and frail, someone suggested he ease up. He answered, “When you release horses in a race, do you not first tell their riders to go gently, but when they can see the finish line, to leave nothing in reserve?” They agreed. He said, “I can see the finish line.”

strove in worship and fasted in the heat until his body turned green and yellow. ʿAlqamah ibn Qays asked him, “Why do you torment this body? Why do you torment this body?” Al-Aswad replied, “This matter is serious, so be serious.” Another transmitter says he said, “I seek honor for it.”

Abū Mūsā came upon his son prostrating and made seven circuits around the House before the son raised his head. He said, “My son, choose something within your strength; you do not know how much life remains.” His son replied, “Who can promise me that much life?” Abū Mūsā said, “Then go and do what you wish.”

A devout man, apparently from Baṣrah, was urged to be gentle with himself and abandon some of his practices. He said, “Even if someone came from my Lord Almighty and Majestic and told me that God, glorified and exalted, would not punish me, I would still strive in worship.” Asked why, he answered, “So that my own soul would excuse me.”

“I visited a friend as he was dying and was distressed by his anguish. I asked why he was so fearful. He said, ‘Why should I not be? Who has more reason than I? By God, if forgiveness came to me from God, I would still be ashamed before Him for what I have brought before Him.’”

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yazīd ibn Muʿāwiyah asked a man, addressing him as “Abū So-and-so,” whether he had ever been ready to die. “No,” he said. Had he firmly decided to move to a state with which he would be content? “My soul has not yet aspired to that.” Was there a place after death where one could seek to make amends? “No.” Could he be sure death would not come? “No.” He replied, “I have never seen a sensible person content with a state like this.”

As Madhʿūr departed for Syria, his sisters Umm Ṣafiyyah and Hunaydah asked his advice. He said, “Daughters of my mother, act during this night and day, for you have seen”—or “have been shown.”
قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُ ثَابِتًا، يَذْكُرُ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ: «إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مُمْتَحَنَ الْقَلْبِ، إِنَّ مَذْعُورًا لَمُمْتَحَنُ الْقَلْبِ»

Thābit said, “I was sitting with Madhʿūr when a man passed and said, ‘Whoever wishes to see two men of Paradise should look at these two.’ I saw Madhʿūr’s dislike of this on his face. He lifted his head to heaven and said, ‘God, You know us, but he does not know us.’”

“I recognize nothing now of what I knew in the time of God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, except your saying ‘There is no god but God.’” We asked, “Not even prayer, Abū Ḥamzah?” He said, “You pray near sunset; was that the prayer of God’s Messenger?” He added, “Even so, I have seen no time better for a person who acts than yours, except a time spent with God’s Prophet, God bless him and give him peace.”

Concerning the words of God, glorified and exalted, “possessors of strength and insight” [Ṣād 38:45], Saʿīd said, “Strength means power to act, and insight means seeing clearly where they stand in their religion.” Concerning His words, exalted is He, “a leader and one chaste” [Āl ʿImrān 3:39], he said, “A leader obeys God Most High and does not disobey Him; a chaste man does not approach women.”

Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh said: When the people of Paradise are admitted and honored, horses of red ruby come to them. These horses neither urinate nor defecate and have wings. They mount and come before the Almighty, exalted is His majesty. When He reveals Himself, they fall prostrate. The Almighty says, “People of Paradise, raise your heads: I am pleased with you with a pleasure after which there is no displeasure. People of Paradise, raise your heads, for this is no abode of work; it is an abiding place of bliss.” They raise their heads, and God showers them with perfume. As they return home past mounds of musk, God sends a wind over the mounds that scatters musk across their faces. They return to their families, they and their horses—here a word is mentioned—saturated with musk.

The food becomes perspiration and belching scented with musk; they do not urinate, defecate, or blow their noses.”

“Whoever believes in God and His Messenger, establishes prayer, and fasts Ramadan, God is bound to admit him to Paradise, whether he emigrates in God’s path”—or the narrator said, “strives in His path”—“or remains in the land where he was born.” They asked, “Messenger of God, should we give people this good news?” He said: “In Paradise are a hundred degrees that God, Mighty and Majestic, has prepared for those who strive in His path. The distance between each two is like that between heaven and earth. When you ask God, ask for Firdaws. It is the middle and highest part of Paradise; above it is the Throne of the Merciful, and from it the rivers of Paradise spring.”

إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ اِنْسَخْ مِنْ قَلْبِ عَبْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِ الْحَلَاوَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَجِدُهَا، فَيَصِيرُ الْعَبْدُ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَالِهًا طَالِبًا الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْهَدُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، نَزَلَتْ بِهِ مُصِيبَةٌ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ بِهِ مِثْلُهَا قَطُّ، فَإِذَا نَظَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ قَالَ: يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ رُدَّ إِلَى قَلْبِ عَبْدِي مَا نَسَخْتَ مِنْهُ، فَقَدِ اِبْتَلَيْتُهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ صَادِقًا، وَسَأَمُدُّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِي بِزِيَادَةٍ، وَإِذَا كَانَ عَبْدًا كَذَّابًا لَمْ يَكْتَرِثْ وَلَمْ يُبَالِ ”

“God Most High says, ‘Gabriel, remove from My believing servant’s heart the sweetness he once found there.’ The believer becomes distraught, searching for what he used to know within himself; a calamity unlike any before has struck him. If God Most High looks upon him in that state, He says, ‘Gabriel, restore to My servant’s heart what you removed. I tested him and found him truthful, and I shall grant him an increase from Myself.’ But if the servant is untruthful, he neither cares nor takes notice.”

Abū al-Dardāʾ reportedly entered Medina and asked its people why he saw none of the sweetness of faith upon them. “By the One who holds my soul,” he said, “if even a bear of the forest tasted faith, its sweetness would be visible upon it.”
قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ: وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَا أَمِنَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى إِيمَانِهِ إِلَّا سُلِبَهُ»

Word reached Sufyān that ʿUmar visited Abū ʿUbaydah and saw something amiss. He told Abū ʿUbaydah’s wife, “You are the one who did such-and-such; I have considered treating you harshly.” She replied, “You cannot do that.” Abū ʿUbaydah said, “Indeed, God has given you the power to do it, Commander of the Faithful.” ʿUmar said, “Islam has taken such a hold of you that I do not think it will leave you before it brings you to Paradise.” Another transmitter gave her response as, “Can you take Islam away from me?” When he answered no, she said, “Then I care about nothing beyond that.”

Anas ibn Mālik said: When Zaynab’s waiting period ended, God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, asked Zayd to propose marriage to her on his behalf. Zayd went and said, “Zaynab, good news! God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, has sent me to speak of you.” She answered, “I shall do nothing until I consult my Lord Almighty and Majestic.” She went to her prayer place; then the Qurʾān was revealed, and the Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, came and entered her home without seeking permission.

قَالَ: وَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: «مَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى إِلَّا فِي مَطْعَمِهِ وَمَشْرَبِهِ فَقَدْ قَلَّ عَمَلُهُ، وَحَضَرَ عَذَابُهُ»
qāla: waqāla ʾabū al-dardāʾi: «man lam yaʿrif niʿmata allāhi subḥānahu wataʿālā ʾillā fī maṭʿamihi wamashrabihi faqad qalla ʿamaluhu, waḥaḍara ʿadhābuhu»
Abū al-Dardāʾ also said: “Whoever recognizes the blessings of God, glorified and exalted, only in his food and drink has little to show for his deeds, and his punishment has drawn near.”

1552 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; ʿUmārah, also called Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, informed us and said that he heard Abū ʿUbaydah ibn ʿUqbah say:
«مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَكْمُلَ لَهُ عَمَلُهُ فَلْيُحْسِنْ نِيَّتَهُ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى يَأْجُرُ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَحْسَنَ نِيَّتَهُ»
«man sarrahu ʾan yakmula lahu ʿamaluhu falyuḥsin niyyatahu, faʾinna allāha subḥānahu wataʿālā yaʾjuru al-ʿabda ʾidhā ʾaḥsana niyyatahu»
“Whoever wishes his work to be complete should make his intention good, for God, glorified and exalted, rewards the servant who makes his intention good.”
١٥٥٣ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ مُرَّةَ، يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ،
1553 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi, ḥaddathanā yaḥyā, ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʿan sufyāna qāla: samiʿtu ʿamra bna murrata, yuḥaddithu, ʿan sālimi bni ʾabī al-jaʿdi,
1553 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; from Sufyān, who said he heard ʿAmr ibn Murrah narrate from Sālim ibn Abī al-Jaʿd:
أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ صُوحَانَ نَزَلَ عَلَى سَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ كَأَنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ مَا يَعْمَلُ فَكَانَ إِذَا تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ: «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ النَّبِيِّينَ، وَإِلَهِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ» قَالَ: ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكَعَاتٍ، وَيَقُولُ: «يَا زَيْدُ اِكْفِنِي نَفْسَكَ يَقْظَانًا؛ أَكْفِكَ نَفْسَكَ نَائِمًا»
ʾanna zayda bna ṣūḥāna nazala ʿalā salmāna bni rabīʿata kaʾannahu yanẓuru mā yaʿmalu fakāna ʾidhā taʿārra mina al-layli qāla: «subḥāna allāhi rabbi al-nabiyyīna, wa-ʾilāhi al-mursalīna» qāla: thumma yuṣallī rakaʿātin, wayaqūlu: «yā zaydu ikfinī nafsaka yaqẓānan; ʾakfika nafsaka nāʾiman»
Zayd ibn Ṣūḥān stayed with Salmān ibn Rabīʿah, apparently observing his practice. When he woke at night, Salmān would say, “Glory be to God, Lord of the prophets and God of the messengers.” He would then pray some cycles and say, “Zayd, look after your waking self, and I shall look after your sleeping self.”
١٥٥٤ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سُرِّيَّةِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ

1554 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Sufyān informed us; from a concubine of al-Rabīʿ ibn Khuthaym:
أَنَّ الرَّبِيعَ، كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ، فَإِذَا دَخَلَ إِنْسَانٌ قَالَ: «بِالْمُصْحَفِ» يَعْنِي سَتَرَهُ
ʾanna al-rabīʿa, kāna yaqraʾu fī al-muṣḥafi, faʾidhā dakhala ʾinsānun qāla: «bi-al-muṣḥafi» yaʿnī satarahu
A concubine of al-Rabīʿ ibn Khuthaym related that he read from the written Qurʾān, and when anyone entered he would hide it. The transmitted phrase “with the muṣḥaf” is awkward; the narrator explains that he concealed it.
١٥٥٥ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ:

«ʾammahum ʾabū wāʾilin faraʾā min ṣawtihi» faqāla: «kaʾannahu ʾaʿjabahu» qāla: «fataraka al-ʾimāmata»
“Abū Wāʾil led them in prayer and became aware of something in his voice”—apparently, he liked it—“so he stopped leading prayer.”
١٥٥٦ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ،

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا مَرَّ بِالْحِجْرِ قَالَ: «لَا تَدْخُلُوا مَسَاكِنَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونُوا بَاكِينَ أَنْ يُصِيبَكُمْ مِثْلُ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ، ثُمَّ تَقَنَّعَ بِرِدَائِهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الرَّحْلِ»
ʾanna al-nabiyya ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama lammā marra bi-al-ḥijri qāla: «lā tadkhulū masākina al-ladhīna ẓalamū ʾanfusahum ʾillā ʾan takūnū bākīna ʾan yuṣībakum mithlu mā ʾaṣābahum, thumma taqannaʿa biridāʾihi wahuwa ʿalā al-raḥli»
Sālim ibn ʿAbd Allāh related from his father that when the Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, passed al-Ḥijr, he said: “Do not enter the dwellings of those who wronged themselves unless you are weeping, lest what struck them strike you.” He then covered himself with his cloak while on his mount.

«ʾinna allāha taʿālā kariha lakumu al-ʿabatha fī al-ṣalāti, wa-al-rafatha fī al-ṣiyāmi, wa-al-ḍaḥika ʿinda al-maqābiri»
“God Most High dislikes frivolous movement during prayer, obscene speech during fasting, and laughter at graves.”

“I do not like a servant to plead insistently with his Lord Almighty and Majestic, saying, ‘You have decreed mercy upon Yourself.’ I have seen no one say, ‘I have fulfilled what is upon me; now fulfill what is upon You.’”

“I dislike a servant pleading insistently with his Lord Almighty and Majestic, saying, ‘My Lord, You decreed mercy, You decreed this upon Yourself,’ as though impatient. I have seen no one say, ‘I have done all I must; now do what is upon You.’”
١٥٦٠ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:

ʿĀmir ibn ʿAbd Qays was asked, “Do you speak to yourself in prayer?” He answered, “Yes.” Once they had turned away, he explained to those who had asked—or said to them—“I speak to myself about standing before the Lord, glorified and exalted, and about departing from His presence.”

كَانَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ خُثَيْمٍ، يَؤُمُّ قَوْمَهُ فَإِذَا صَلَّى أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: “ قُولُوا خَيْرًا، وَاعْمَلُوا خَيْرًا، وَدُومُوا عَلَى صَالِحِهِ، وَاسْتَكْثِرُوا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، وَاسْتَقِلُّوا مِنَ الشَّرِّ , لَا يَطُولُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَمَدُ فَتَقْسُوَ قُلُوبُكُمْ، وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ قَالُوا: سَمِعْنَا , وَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ ”
kāna al-rabīʿu bnu khuthaymin, yaʾummu qawmahu faʾidhā ṣallā ʾaqbala ʿalayhim, faqāla: “ qūlū khayran, wa-ʿmalū khayran, wadūmū ʿalā ṣāliḥihi, wa-stakthirū mina al-khayri, wa-staqillū mina al-sharri , lā yaṭūlu ʿalaykumu al-ʾamadu fataqsuwa qulūbukum, walā takūnū ka-al-ladhīna qālū: samiʿnā , wahum lā yasmaʿūna ”
Al-Rabīʿ ibn Khuthaym used to lead his people in prayer. When he finished, he turned to them and said: “Speak good, do good, persevere in what is sound, do more good and less evil. Do not let the time stretch on until your hearts harden; do not be like those who say, ‘We have heard,’ while they do not hear.”

fī qawli allāhi: {kafā binafsika al-yawma ʿalayka ḥasīban} [al-ʾisrāʾi: 14] qāla: “ kullu ʾādamiyyin fī ʿunuqihi qilādatun, tuktabu fīhā nuskhatu ʿamalihi, faʾidhā ṭuwiyat qullidahā, faʾidhā buʿitha nushirat lahu, waqīla: {iqraʾ kitābaka kafā binafsika al-yawma ʿalayka ḥasīban} [al-ʾisrāʾi: 14] yā ibna ʾādama ʾanṣafaka man khalaqaka , jaʿalaka ḥasība nafsika ”
Al-Ḥasan interpreted “Your own self suffices today as a reckoner against you” [al-Isrāʾ 17:14]: “Every human has a collar upon his neck in which the record of his deeds is written. When it is folded he wears it; when he is raised it is opened for him and he is told, ‘Read your book: your own self suffices today as a reckoner against you.’ Child of Adam, your Creator has dealt fairly with you: He made you judge of your own self.”

«نَفْسَكَ يَا اِبْنَ آدَمَ فَكَايِسْ عَنْهَا، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ وَقَعْتَ فِي النَّارِ لَمْ تَنْجَبِرْ أَبَدًا»
«nafsaka yā ibna ʾādama fakāyis ʿanhā, faʾinnaka ʾin waqaʿta fī al-nāri lam tanjabir ʾabadan»
“Your own soul, child of Adam: deal wisely on its behalf. If you fall into the Fire, you will never be restored.”

1565 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Sufyān informed us; from an unnamed man; from al-Ḥasan; he said:
«إِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ لَيْسَ بِالتَّمَنِّي وَلَا بِالتَّحَلِّي، وَلَكِنَّهُ مَا وَقَرَ فِي الْقُلُوبِ وَصَدَّقَتْهُ الْأَعْمَالُ»
«ʾinna al-ʾīmāna laysa bi-al-tamannī walā bi-al-taḥallī, wa-lākinnahu mā waqara fī al-qulūbi waṣaddaqat-hu al-ʾaʿmālu»
“Faith is not a matter of wishful thinking or outward adornment; it is what takes firm root in hearts and is confirmed by deeds.”

1566 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid informed us; from al-Shaʿbī; he said:
بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِمُ اِجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْكُمْ «أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ، وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَأَنْ تُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ، وَتُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ، وَإِنِ تُطِيعُونِي أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى، وَالْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ , إِقَامَةٌ فَلَا ظَعْنَ، وَخُلُودٌ فَلَا مَوْتَ» أَمَّا بَعْدُ

Al-Shaʿbī said the Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, sent Muʿādh ibn Jabal to Yemen. When he arrived, the people gathered around Muʿādh, who praised God and extolled Him, then said: “People, I am the envoy of God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, to you: worship God without associating anything with Him; establish prayer and give alms. If you obey me, I shall guide you to the path of right conduct. What awaits is God, glorified and exalted, Paradise and the Fire: abiding without departure, everlasting life without death.” The source closes with “Now then.”

1567 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Abū Bishr Warqāʾ informed us; from Ibn Abī Najīḥ; from Mujāhid:
فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى: {أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ مِنْ نَخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ} [الْبَقَرَةِ: ٢٦٦] قَالَ: “ كَمَثَلِ الْمُفَرِّطِ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ، وَهَذَا مَثَلٌ يَقُولُ: أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ دُنْيَا لَا يُعْمَلُ فِيهَا بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي لَهُ جَنَّاتٌ {تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ لَهُ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ وَأَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَلَهُ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفَاءُ فَأَصَابَهَا إِعْصَارٌ فِيهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ} [الْبَقَرَةِ: ٢٦٦] فَمَثَلُهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ كَمَثَلِ هَذَا اِحْتَرَقَتْ جَنَّتُهُ، وَهُوَ كَبِيرٌ لَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ شَيْءٌ، وَأَوْلَادُهُ ضُعَفَاءُ لَا يُغْنُونَ عَنْهَا شَيْئًا، كَذَلِكَ الْمُفَرِّطُ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ عَلَيْهِ حَسْرَةٌ ”
fī qawli allāhi subḥānahu wataʿālā: {ʾayawaddu ʾaḥadukum ʾan takūna lahu jannatun min nakhīlin waʾaʿnābin} [al-baqarati: 266] qāla: “ kamathali al-mufarriṭi fī ṭāʿati allāhi ḥattā yamūta, wa-hādhā mathalun yaqūlu: ʾayawaddu ʾaḥadukum ʾan takūna lahu dunyā lā yuʿmalu fīhā biṭāʿati allāhi kamathali al-ladhī lahu jannātun {tajrī min taḥtihā al-ʾanhāru lahu fīhā min kulli al-thamarāti waʾaṣābahu al-kibaru walahu dhurriyyatun ḍuʿafāʾu faʾaṣābahā ʾiʿṣārun fīhi nārun fa-ḥtaraqat} [al-baqarati: 266] famathaluhu baʿda mawtihi kamathali hādhā iḥtaraqat jannatuhu, wahuwa kabīrun lā yughnī ʿanhu shayʾun, waʾawlāduhu ḍuʿafāʾu lā yughnūna ʿanhā shayʾan, ka-dhālika al-mufarriṭu baʿda al-mawti kullu shayʾin ʿalayhi ḥasratun ”
Mujāhid said of the words of God, glorified and exalted, “Would any of you wish to have a garden of date palms and vines?” [al-Baqarah 2:266]: “It is like a person who neglects obedience to God until death. The parable asks: would any of you wish to have a life in this world without acts of obedience to God? It is like someone who owns gardens ‘beneath which rivers flow, with every kind of fruit; old age has overtaken him, and he has weak children; then a fiery whirlwind strikes it and it burns’ [2:266]. After death he is like that man: his garden has burned, he is too old to remedy the loss, and his weak children cannot help him save it. So it is with the negligent person after death: everything is a cause for regret.”

سَأَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: “ فِيمَا تَرَوْنَ أُنْزِلَتْ {أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ مِنْ نَخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ} [الْبَقَرَةِ: ٢٦٦] ؟ ” فَقَالُوا: اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ، وَقَالَ: «قُولُوا نَعْلَمُ، أَوْ لَا نَعْلَمُ» فَقَالَ اِبْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْهَا شَيْئًا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: «قُلْ يَا اِبْنَ أَخِي وَلَا تُحَقِّرْ نَفْسَكَ» فَقَالَ اِبْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: ضُرِبَتْ مَثَلًا لِعَمَلٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: «أَيُّ عَمَلٍ؟» فَقَالَ: لِعَمَلٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: «رَجُلٌ عُنِيَ بِعَمَلِ الْحَسَنَاتِ ثُمَّ بُعِثَ إِلَيْهِ شَيْطَانٌ فَعَمِلَ بِالْمَعَاصِي حَتَّى أَغْرَقَ أَعْمَالَهُ كُلَّهَا» وَسَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ نَحْوَ هَذَا عَنِ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْهُ

ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb asked the Companions of God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, “Why do you think ‘Would any of you wish to have a garden of date palms and vines?’ [al-Baqarah 2:266] was revealed?” They said, “God knows best.” ʿUmar grew angry and said, “Say ‘We know’ or ‘We do not know.’” Ibn ʿAbbās said, “I have an idea about it, Commander of the Faithful.” ʿUmar said, “Speak, nephew; do not belittle yourself.” Ibn ʿAbbās said, “It was set forth as a parable about a deed.” ʿUmar asked, “What deed?” He replied, “A deed.” ʿUmar said, “A man busied himself with good deeds; then a devil was sent against him, and he committed acts of disobedience until they overwhelmed all his deeds.” I also heard ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Mulayka narrate something like this directly from Ibn ʿAbbās.

Concerning God Most High’s words, “Gardens of Eden which they enter” [Fāṭir 35:33] up to “They said, ‘Praise belongs to God, who has removed sorrow from us’” [35:34], Shimr—or another person—said: “Sorrow over food. He forgave them the sins they committed and showed appreciation for the good He had instilled in them and which they performed. That is why they said, ‘Our Lord is surely Forgiving and Appreciative’” [35:34]. [Source note: the quoted Qurʾānic phrase is printed عَنْا الْحَزَنَ here; its reading is uncertain.]

“The one who wrongs himself, the moderate one, and the one foremost in good deeds mentioned in this verse are all in Paradise. Do you not see that God says: ‘Then We bequeathed the Book to those of Our servants whom We chose. Among them are those who wrong themselves, those who take a middle course, and those who are foremost in good deeds by God’s leave. That is the great bounty: Gardens of Eden which they enter, adorned there with bracelets of gold’ [Fāṭir 35:32–33]—up to ‘nor does weariness touch us there; as for those who disbelieve, theirs is the Fire of Hell, and they will not be put to death so that they die’ [the source labels this passage Fāṭir 35:35]—and the rest of the verse.”

«أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ عِشْرُونَ وَمِائَةُ صَفٍّ، مِنْهَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ ثَمَانُونَ، وَأَرْبَعُونَ مِنْ سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ»

Rifāʿah al-Juhanī said they were with the Messenger of God, God bless him and give him peace, at Kadīd—or al-Kadīd—at the point of a discourse whose earlier words the transmitter had not written down. The Prophet said: “My Lord Almighty and Majestic promised to admit seventy thousand of my community into Paradise without reckoning or punishment. I hope you will not enter until you and the righteous among your parents, spouses, and descendants have taken up dwellings in Paradise.”

Abū Hurayrah heard the Messenger of God, God bless him and give him peace, say: “The first company of my community to enter Paradise will be seventy thousand, with no reckoning against them. Each will have a face like the full moon; those who follow will shine like the brightest star, and thereafter they will have different ranks.” Muḥammad added: “We are the last and the first; the first company of my community will enter Paradise,” then repeated the report. Ibn Ṣāʿid identifies this Ziyād as Ibn al-Mughīrah.

“The first company of my community to enter Paradise will resemble the full moon; those after them the brightest star. Thereafter their ranks differ. They neither defecate nor urinate, blow their noses nor spit. Their combs are gold; their incense burners burn aloe wood; their sweat is musk. They have the form of one man and the height of their father Adam: sixty cubits.”

Abū Hurayrah heard the Messenger of God, God bless him and give him peace, say: “A company of seventy thousand of my community will enter Paradise, their faces shining like the full moon.” ʿUkkāshah ibn Miḥṣan al-Asadī rose and said, “Messenger of God, pray that God make me one of them.” The Prophet said, “God, make him one of them.” A man from the Anṣār then rose and said, “Messenger of God, pray that God make me one of them.” He replied, “ʿUkkāshah has preceded you in this.”

Al-Ḥasan said: “I asked ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn and Abū Hurayrah about ‘pleasant dwellings in Gardens of Eden’ [al-Tawbah 9:72]. They answered, ‘You have come to those who know; we asked God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace.’ He described a palace in Paradise made of a pearl; inside are seventy houses of red ruby; in each house seventy rooms of green chrysolite; in every room seventy thousand beds; on every bed seventy mattresses of every color, and on each mattress one of the wide-eyed maidens. Every room has seventy tables, each with seventy kinds of food, and seventy boy and girl attendants. The believer is given strength in a single morning to enjoy all of it.” The chain preserves the alternative name Jasr or Jaʿfar.

Concerning the words of God, glorified and exalted, “gold dishes will be passed around to them” [al-Zukhruf 43:71], Saʿīd narrated Qatādah from Abū Ayyūb from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr: “Every person in Paradise is attended by a thousand young servants, each engaged in a task different from every other servant’s.”

Tamīm ibn Ḥadhlam said concerning “loving, of equal age” [al-Wāqiʿah 56:37]: “A loving woman is good in her affection toward her husband. The Arabs would say of a woman who treated her husband well, ‘She is loving.’”
١٥٨٤ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ:

“ al-ʿurubu: al-mutaḥabbibātu ʾilā ʾazwājihinna, wa-al-ʾatrābu: al-ʾashbāhu al-mustawiyātu ”

1585 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ismāʿīl ibn Ibrāhīm informed us; Ayyūb narrated to us; from Muḥammad; he said:
إِمَّا تَفَاخَرُوا، وَإِمَّا تَذَاكَرُوا الرِّجَالَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَوِ النِّسَاءَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: أَوَ لَمْ يَقُلْ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوَّلُ زُمْرَةٍ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ، وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا عَلَى أَضْوَاءِ كَوْكَبٍ دُرِّيٍّ فِي السَّمَاءِ، لِكُلِّ اِمْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَتَانِ , يُرَى مُخُّ سَاقَيْهِمَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ اللَّحْمِ، وَمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ عَزَبٌ»

Muḥammad said: They were either boasting or discussing the men or women of Paradise. Abū Hurayrah said, “Did Abū al-Qāsim, God bless him and give him peace, not say: ‘The first company of my community entering Paradise will look like the full moon, and the next like the radiance of a brilliant star in the sky. Each man will have two wives; the marrow of their shins can be seen through the flesh. No one in Paradise will be without a spouse’?”
١٥٨٦ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو كُوفِيٌّ لَهُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ،

1586 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Sufyān informed us; from Abū ʿAmr, described as a Kūfan (the referent of the source’s “lahu” is uncertain); from ʿIkrimah:
فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ {إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ الْيَوْمَ فِي شُغُلٍ فَاكِهُونَ} [يٰسٓ: ٥٥] قَالَ: «فِي اِفْتِضَاضِ الْأَبْكَارِ» قَالَ اِبْنُ صَاعِدٍ: أَبُو عَمْرٍو هَذَا جَدُّ أَسْبَاطِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، قِيلَ لِأَبِي حَفْصٍ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلِيٍّ: مَنْ عَمْرٌو هَذَا؟ قَالَ: لَا تَسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ، هُوَ أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْقَاضِي قَالَ اِبْنُ صَاعِدٍ: وَهُوَ جَدُّ أَسْبَاطٍ

ʿIkrimah explained “The people of Paradise today will be occupied, rejoicing” [Yā Sīn 36:55] as “in consummating marriages with virgins.” Ibn Ṣāʿid identifies the Kūfan Abū ʿAmr in this chain as the grandfather of Asbāṭ ibn Muḥammad. When Abū Ḥafṣ ʿAmr ibn ʿAlī was asked who this ʿAmr was, he replied, “Do not ask about him; he is Abū ʿAmr the judge.” Ibn Ṣāʿid repeats that he was Asbāṭ’s grandfather.

fī qawli allāhi {waʾammā man bakhili wa-staghnā} [al-layli: 8] qāla: «bakhila bimā lā yabqā, wa-staghnā bighayri ghanāʾin»

1590 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you; Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Abū Maʿshar al-Madanī informed us; from Muḥammad ibn Qays; he said:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، وَهُوَ فِي الْمَوْتِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ عِظْنِي بِشَيْءٍ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَنْفَعُنِي بِهِ وَأَذْكُرُكَ قَالَ: «إِنَّكَ فِي أُمَّةٍ مَرْحُومَةٍ، أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ، وَآتِ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ، وَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ، وَاجْتَنِبِ الْكَبَائِرَ» أَوْ قَالَ: «الْمَعَاصِيَ، وَأَبْشِرْ»

Muḥammad ibn Qays said a man came to Abū al-Dardāʾ as he was dying and asked for advice by which God might benefit him and by which he might remember Abū al-Dardāʾ. He answered, “You belong to a community granted mercy. Establish the prescribed prayers, pay the obligatory alms, fast Ramadan, avoid grave sins”—or he said “acts of disobedience”—“and rejoice.”
فَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِمَا قَالَ، حَتَّى رَجَعَ الْكَلَامَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَغَضِبَ السَّائِلُ، وَقَالَ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّاهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْكِتَابِ أُولَئِكَ يَلْعَنْهُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَلْعَنْهُمُ اللَّاعِنُونَ} [الْبَقَرَةِ: ١٥٩]

The visitor, apparently unsatisfied, returned to the question three times, then angrily recited: “Those who conceal the clear proofs and guidance We sent down, after We made it clear to people in the Book, are cursed by God and by those who curse” [al-Baqarah 2:159].
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: «أَجْلِسُونِي» فَأَجْلَسُوهُ قَالَ: «رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ الرَّجُلَ»

After the man left, Abū al-Dardāʾ said, “Sit me up,” and they sat him up. He said, “Bring the man back to me.”

بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: “ إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ السَّاعَةِ كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ خَافُوا الْعَدُوَّ فَبَعَثُوا رَبِيئَةً لَهُمْ تَرَى الْعَدُوَّ، فَأَبْصَرَ الرَّبِيئَةُ غَارَةَ الْعَدُوِّ، وَخَافَ إِنْ هَبَطَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ يُؤْذِنُ قَوْمَهُ أَنْ تَبْدُرَهُ الْغَارَةُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ، فَلَوَّحَ بِثَوْبِهِ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ وَنَادَى: يَا صَبَاحَاهُ ”

Qasāmah ibn Zuhayr reported hearing that God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, said: “My relation to you and the Hour is like that of people who feared an enemy and sent out a lookout. The lookout saw the enemy attacking and feared the attack would reach his people before he could descend to warn them. He waved his cloak from where he stood and cried, ‘Alarm! An attack at dawn!’”

«بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ - وَأَلْصَقَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى - فِي نَفَسِ السَّاعَةِ»
«buʿithtu ʾanā wa-al-sāʿatu kahātayni - waʾalṣaqa ʾuṣbuʿayhi al-sabbābata wa-al-wusṭā - fī nafasi al-sāʿati»
“I was sent, and the Hour is as close as these two”—he placed his index and middle fingers together—“in the very breath of the Hour.”

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ بِنَهَارٍ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَنَا إِلَى أَنْ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَلَمْ يَدَعْ شَيْئًا يَكُونُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ، حَفِظَهُ مَنْ حَفِظَهُ، وَنَسِيَهُ مَنْ نَسِيَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ حِينَ دَنَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ: «إِنَّ مَا مَضَى مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا كَمَا مَضَى مِنْ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِيمَا بَقِيَ»

Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī said the Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, led them in the afternoon prayer and then addressed them until the sun set. He told them everything that would happen until the Resurrection; some remembered, others forgot. As the sun neared setting, he said, “The portion of your worldly life already gone compared with what remains is like the part of this day already gone compared with the little that remains.”
١٥٩٤ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:

“My relation to you and the Hour is like people afraid of an enemy who sent a lookout. As soon as he went out he saw the horses’ forelocks. Fearing the enemy would arrive first, he waved his cloak and cried, ‘Alarm! Alarm! The Hour has almost overtaken me on its way to you!’”

«lataqūmanna al-sāʿatu ʿalā rajulayni wamīzānuhumā biʾaydīhimā»
“The Hour will surely come upon two men while the scale they are using is still in their hands.”
١٥٩٦ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ، وَكَانَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ اِحْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ، وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ، كَأَنَّهُ نَذِيرُ جَيْشٍ صَبَّحَكُمْ وَمَسَّاكُمْ»
qāla rasūlu allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama: «buʿithtu ʾanā wa-al-sāʿatu kahātayni, wakāna ʾidhā dhakara al-sāʿata iḥmarrat wajnatāhu, waʿalā ṣawtuhu wa-shtadda ghaḍabuhu, kaʾannahu nadhīru jayshin ṣabbaḥakum wamassākum»
Jābir related that God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, said: “I was sent, and the Hour is as close as these two.” When he spoke of the Hour, his cheeks reddened, his voice rose, and his anger grew intense, like a herald warning of an army attacking at dawn and dusk.
١٥٩٧ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ:
1597 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi, ḥaddathanā yaḥyā, ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā khālidun ʾabū al-ʿalāʾi, ʿan ʿaṭiyyata al-ʿawfiyyi, ʿan ʾabī saʿīdin qāla:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَيْفَ أَنْعَمُ وَصَاحِبُ الْقَرْنِ قَدِ الْتَقَمَ الْقَرْنَ، وَاسْتَمَعَ الْأُذُنَ مَتَى يُؤْمَرُ، فَيَنْفُخُ» فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: “ قُولُوا: حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ ”
qāla rasūlu allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama: «kayfa ʾanʿamu waṣāḥibu al-qarni qadi iltaqama al-qarna, wa-stamaʿa al-ʾudhuna matā yuʾmaru, fayanfukhu» fa-shtadda dhālika ʿalā ʾaṣḥābi rasūli allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama, faqāla al-nabiyyu ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama ʿalayhi wasallama: “ qūlū: ḥasbunā allāhu waniʿma al-wakīlu ”
Abū Saʿīd related that God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, said: “How can I enjoy comfort while the bearer of the horn already has it at his mouth, his ear listening for the order to blow?” This weighed heavily on the Companions of God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace. The Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, “upon him and give him peace” [repeated wording in the source], said, “Say: God is enough for us, and He is the best guardian.”

“ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُدْعَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِسْرَافِيلُ، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ: هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ عَهْدِي؟ فَيَقُولُ: نَعَمْ رَبِّي قَدْ بَلَّغْتُهُ جَبْرَئِيلَ،

فَتُدْعَى الْأُمَمُ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ: هَلْ بَلَّغَتْكُمُ الرُّسُلُ عَهْدِي؟ فَمُكَذِّبٌ، وَمُصَدِّقٌ، فَيَقُولُ الرُّسُلُ: لَنَا عَلَيْهِمْ شُهَدَاءُ، فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: أُمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،

“The nations will be called and asked, ‘Did the messengers convey My charge to you?’ Some deny it and others affirm it. The messengers will say, ‘We have witnesses against them.’ Asked who, they will answer, ‘The community of Muḥammad, God bless him and give him peace.’”
فَتُدْعَى أُمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ: أَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ قَدْ بَلَّغَتِ الْأُمَمَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: نَعَمْ، فَتَقُولُ الْأُمَمُ: يَا رَبَّنَا كَيْفَ يَشْهَدُ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ لَمْ يُدْرِكْنَا؟ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ: كَيْفَ تَشْهَدُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ تُدْرِكُوهُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا رَبَّنَا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا، وَأَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا كِتَابًا، وَقَصَصْتَ عَلَيْنَا فِيهِ أَنْ قَدْ بَلَّغُوا،

“Muḥammad’s community will be summoned and asked, ‘Do you testify that the messengers conveyed the charge to the nations?’ They will say, ‘Yes.’ The nations will ask, ‘Our Lord, how can those who did not meet us testify against us?’ God will ask, ‘How do you testify against them when you did not meet them?’ They will answer, ‘Our Lord, You sent us a messenger and revealed a Book to us, in which You told us that they conveyed the charge.’”
فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا} [الْبَقَرَةِ: ١٤٣] ”

Al-Ḥusayn added, with uncertainty, that the narrator also explained “balanced” as “just.”

قَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الصُّورُ؟ قَالَ: «قَرْنٌ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ»
qāla ʾaʿrābiyyun: yā rasūla allāhi mā al-ṣūru? qāla: «qarnun yunfakhu fīhi»
A Bedouin asked, “Messenger of God, what is the trumpet?” He answered, “A horn into which one blows.”

1600 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Ibn Lahīʿah informed us; from Khālid ibn Yazīd; from Saʿīd ibn Abī Hilāl; from Nubayh ibn Wahb; from Kaʿb al-Aḥbār; he said:
ذَكَرُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ، فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ: «مَا مِنْ فَجْرٍ يَطْلُعُ إِلَّا هَبَطَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ، يَضْرِبُونَ الْقَبْرَ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ، وَيَحُفُّونَ بِهِ، فَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ» وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: «وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُمْسُوا، فَإِذَا أَمْسَوْا عَرَجُوا، وَهَبَطَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ، يَضْرِبُونَ الْقَبْرَ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ، وَيَحُفُّونَ بِهِ، وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ» وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: «وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُصْبِحُوا، وَكَذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ السَّاعَةُ، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ»

They mentioned the Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, in ʿĀʾishah’s presence, and Kaʿb said: “Not a dawn rises but seventy thousand angels descend, strike his grave with their wings, surround it, and seek forgiveness for him.” The transmitter thought Kaʿb also said, “And they pray blessings upon him until evening.” At evening those angels ascend, and another seventy thousand descend, strike his grave with their wings, surround it, and seek forgiveness for him. Again the transmitter thought he added, “And they pray blessings upon him until morning.” This continues until the Hour. On the Day of Resurrection the Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, will emerge accompanied by seventy thousand angels.
١٦٠١ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ،

فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {هُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ} [الذَّارِيَاتِ: ١٣] قَالَ: «يُعَذَّبُونَ»
fī qawli allāhi taʿālā {hum ʿalā al-nāri yuftanūna} [al-dhāriyāti: 13] qāla: «yuʿadhdhabūna»
Al-Ḥasan explained God Most High’s words, “They are subjected to trial upon the Fire” [al-Dhāriyāt 51:13] as “They are punished.”
١٦٠٢ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَرْوَةَ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنِ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَنَسٍ،

1602 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Bishr ibn al-Sarī informed us; al-Qāsim ibn al-Faḍl informed us; from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Abī Jarwah al-ʿAbdī; from Ibn ʿAbbās and Anas:
أَنَّهُمَا تَذَاكَرَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ} [الْحِجْرِ: ٢] قَالُوا: “ هَذَا حَيْثُ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْخَطَايَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي النَّارِ، فَيَقُولُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ: مَا أَغْنَى عَنْكُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ؟ فَيَغْضَبُ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ، فَيُخْرِجُهُمْ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ، فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ} [الْحِجْرِ: ٢] ”

Ibn ʿAbbās and Anas discussed “Those who disbelieve may wish they had been Muslims” [al-Ḥijr 15:2]. They said: “This is when God Almighty and Majestic gathers sinful Muslims and idolaters together in the Fire. The idolaters ask, ‘What benefit has your worship brought you?’ God becomes angry on the Muslims’ behalf and brings them out through the bounty of His mercy. This is the meaning of His words, exalted is He, ‘Those who disbelieve may wish they had been Muslims’” [15:2].
١٦٠٣ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:

«تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ وَرَجُلَانِ يَتَبَايَعَانِ ثَوْبًا فَلَا يَتَبَايَعَانِهِ وَلَا يَطْوِيَانِهِ»
«taqūmu al-sāʿatu warajulāni yatabāyaʿāni thawban falā yatabāyaʿānihi walā yaṭwiyānihi»

١٦٠٤ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ:

1604 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Sufyān informed us; from Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid; from Qays ibn Abī Ḥāzim; he said:
“ آخِرُ مَنْ يُحْشَرُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ يَرْعَيَانِ غَنَمًا عِنْدَ شَجَرَةٍ، فَيَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ: مَتَى عَهْدُكَ بِالْإِنْسِ أَوْ قَالَ: بِالنَّاسِ؟ ”
“ ʾākhiru man yuḥsharu yawma al-qiyāmati rajulāni min muzaynata yarʿayāni ghanaman ʿinda shajaratin, fayaqūlu liṣāḥibihi: matā ʿahduka bi-al-ʾinsi ʾaw qāla: bi-al-nāsi? ”
“The last to be gathered on the Day of Resurrection will be two men of Muzaynah tending sheep by a tree. One asks his companion, ‘When was the last time you saw a human being?’”—or he said, “people.”

1605 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; al-Ḥajjāj ibn Abī Manīʿ informed us; from his grandfather; from al-Zuhrī, who said that Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib informed him:
أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «تُتْرَكُ الْمَدِينَةُ عَلَى خَيْرِ مَا كَانَتْ مُذَلَّلَةً، لَا يَغْشَاهَا إِلَّا الْعَوَافُ يُرِيدُ عَوَافَّ السِّبَاعِ وَالطَّيْرِ، وَآخِرُ مَنْ يُحْشَرُ رَاعِيَانِ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ، يُرِيدَانِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَيَنْعِقَانِ بِغَنَمَيْهِمَا، فَيَجِدَانِهَا وُحُوشًا , حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَا ثَنِيَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ خَرَّا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمَا»
ʾanna ʾabā hurayrata qāla: samiʿtu rasūla allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama yaqūlu: «tutraku al-madīnatu ʿalā khayri mā kānat mudhallalatan, lā yaghshāhā ʾillā al-ʿawāfu yurīdu ʿawāffa al-sibāʿi wa-al-ṭayri, waʾākhiru man yuḥsharu rāʿiyāni min muzaynata, yurīdāni al-madīnata fayanʿiqāni bighanamayhimā, fayajidānihā wuḥūshan , ḥattā ʾidhā balaghā thaniyyata al-wadāʿi kharrā ʿalā wujūhihimā»
Abū Hurayrah said he heard God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, say: “Medina will be left in its best cultivated condition. None will frequent it except scavengers—he meant wild beasts and birds. The last to be gathered will be two shepherds from Muzaynah who set out for Medina driving their sheep. They will find it inhabited by wild animals. When they reach the Farewell Pass, they will fall on their faces.”

Ḥudhayfah ibn Usayd said the Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, came out while they were discussing the Hour and said: “It will not come until you see ten signs.” He mentioned the Antichrist, the smoke, Gog and Magog, the sun rising in the west, the beast, the descent of Jesus son of Mary, peace be upon him, three sinkings of the earth—one in the east, one in the west, and one in the Arabian Peninsula—and a fire that gathers the people.

dakhaltu ʿalā ibni ziyādin, wahum yatadhākarūna al-ḥawḍa, falammā raʾawnī iṭṭalaʿtu ʿalayhim, qālū: qad jāʾakum ʾanasun, faqālū: yā ʾanasu mā taqūlu fī al-ḥawḍi? faqultu: wa-allāhi mā shaʿartu ʾannī ʾaʿīshu ḥattā ʾarā ʾamthālakum tashukkūna fī al-ḥawḍi, laqad taraktu ʿajāʾiza bi-al-madīnati mā tuṣallī wāḥidatun minhunna ʾillā saʾalat rabbahā ʾan yūridahā ḥawḍa muḥammadin ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama ”
Anas said: “I went in to Ibn Ziyād while they were discussing the Pool. When they saw me come into view, they said, ‘Anas has come.’ Then they asked, ‘Anas, what do you say about the Pool?’ I said, ‘By God, I never thought I would live to see people like you doubting the Pool. I left old women in Medina, not one of whom prayed without asking her Lord to bring her to Muḥammad’s Pool, God bless him and give him peace.’”
١٦١٠ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ:
1610 - ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā muḥammadu bnu ʾabī ʿadiyyin, ḥaddathanā ḥusaynu al-muʿallimu, ʿan ʿabdi allāhi bni buraydata qāla:
1610 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAdī informed us; Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim narrated to us; from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Buraydah; he said:
ذَكَرَ لِي أَبُو سَبْرَةَ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ سَمِعَ اِبْنَ زِيَادٍ، يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَرَاهُ حَقًّا بَعْدَ مَا سَأَلَ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّ، وَالْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ، وَعَائِذَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْمُزَنِيَّ، فَقَالَ: مَا أُصَدِّقُ هَؤُلَاءِ،
dhakara lī ʾabū sabrata bnu salamata samiʿa ibna ziyādin, yasʾalu ʿani al-ḥawḍi, faqāla: mā ʾarāhu ḥaqqan baʿda mā saʾala ʾabā barzata al-ʾaslamiyya, wa-al-barāʾa bna ʿāzibin, waʿāʾidha bna ʿamrin al-muzaniyya, faqāla: mā ʾuṣaddiqu hāʾulāʾi,
ʿAbd Allāh ibn Buraydah said Abū Sabrah ibn Salamah told him that Ibn Ziyād had been questioning people about the Pool and doubted it even after asking Abū Barzah al-Aslamī, al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib, and ʿĀʾidh ibn ʿAmr al-Muzanī. He said he did not believe those witnesses.
فَقَالَ أَبُو سَبْرَةَ: أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ شِفَاءً؟ بَعَثَنِي أَبُوكَ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فِي مَالٍ، فَلَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، فَحَدَّثَنِي بِفِيهِ، وَكَتَبْتُهُ بِيَدَيَّ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ أَزِدْ حَرْفًا، وَلَمْ أُنْقِصْ حَرْفًا،
faqāla ʾabū sabrata: ʾalā ʾuḥaddithuka fī hādhā al-ḥadīthi shifāʾan? baʿathanī ʾabūka ʾilā muʿāwiyata fī mālin, falaqītu ʿabda allāhi bna ʿamrin, faḥaddathanī bifīhi, wakatabtuhu biyadayya mā samiʿa min rasūli allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama falam ʾazid ḥarfan, walam ʾunqiṣ ḥarfan,
Abū Sabrah offered an account to settle his doubt: Ibn Ziyād’s father had sent him to Muʿāwiyah about money; on that journey he met ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, who spoke directly to him. He wrote down with his own hands what ʿAbd Allāh had heard from God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, without adding or omitting a single letter.
حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَالتَّفَحُّشَ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَظْهَرَ الْفُحْشُ، وَالتَّفَحُّشُ، وَقَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ، وَسُوءُ الْمُجَاوَرَةِ، وَيُخَوَّنُ الْأَمِينُ، وَيُؤْتَمَنُ الْخَائِنُ»
ḥaddathanī ʾanna rasūla allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama qāla: «ʾinna allāha lā yuḥibbu al-fuḥsha wa-al-tafaḥḥusha, wa-al-ladhī nafsu muḥammadin biyadihi lā taqūmu al-sāʿatu ḥattā yaẓhara al-fuḥshu, wa-al-tafaḥḥushu, waqaṭīʿatu al-raḥimi, wasūʾu al-mujāwarati, wayukhawwanu al-ʾamīnu, wayuʾtamanu al-khāʾinu»
He related that the Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, said, “God does not love obscenity or shameless conduct. By Him who holds Muḥammad’s soul, the Hour will not come until obscenity, shameless conduct, severing family ties, and mistreating neighbors spread, until the trustworthy are called treacherous and the treacherous are trusted.”
وَقَالَ: «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ النَّحْلِ أَكَلَتْ طَيِّبًا، وَوَضَعَتْ طَيِّبًا، وَوَقَعَتْ فَلَمْ تُكْسِرْ وَلَمْ تُفْسِدْ، وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ الْقِطْعَةِ الْجَيِّدَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ نُفِخَ عَلَيْهَا فَخَرَجَتْ طَيِّبَةً، وَوُزِنَتْ فَلَمْ تَنْقُصْ»
waqāla: «mathalu al-muʾmini kamathali al-naḥli ʾakalat ṭayyiban, wawaḍaʿat ṭayyiban, wawaqaʿat falam tuksir walam tufsid, wamathalu al-muʾmini kamathali al-qiṭʿati al-jayyidati mina al-dhahabi nufikha ʿalayhā fakharajat ṭayyibatan, wawuzinat falam tanquṣ»
He also said, “The believer resembles a bee: it eats what is wholesome, produces what is wholesome, and settles without breaking or spoiling anything. The believer also resembles good gold: it emerges sound when heated and does not lose weight when weighed.”
قَالَ: وَقَالَ: «مَوْعِدُكُمْ حَوْضِي عَرْضُهُ مِثْلُ طُولِهِ، وَهُوَ أَبْعَدُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، وَذَلِكَ مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ، فِيهِ أَبَارِيقُ أَمْثَالُ الْكَوَاكِبِ، مَاؤُهُ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، مَنْ وَرَدَهُ يَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهَا أَبَدًا»
qāla: waqāla: «mawʿidukum ḥawḍī ʿarḍuhu mithlu ṭūlihi, wahuwa ʾabʿadu mā bayna ʾaylata ʾilā makkata, wa-dhālika masīratu shahrin, fīhi ʾabārīqu ʾamthālu al-kawākibi, māʾuhu ʾashaddu bayāḍan mina al-fiḍḍati, man waradahu yashrabu minhu lam yaẓmaʾ baʿdahā ʾabadan»
He further said, “Your appointed meeting is at my Pool. Its breadth equals its length, the distance from Aylah to Mecca—a month’s journey. Its vessels are like the stars, its water whiter than silver, and whoever comes to it and drinks from it will never thirst again.”
فَقَالَ اِبْنُ زِيَادٍ: «مَا حُدِّثْتُ مِنَ الْحَوْضِ حَدِيثًا هُوَ أَثْبَتُ عِنْدِي مِنْ هَذَا، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الْحَوْضَ حَقٌّ» وَأَخَذَ الصَّحِيفَةَ الَّتِي جَاءَ بِهَا أَبُو سَبْرَةَ
faqāla ibnu ziyādin: «mā ḥuddithtu mina al-ḥawḍi ḥadīthan huwa ʾathbatu ʿindī min hādhā, ʾashhadu ʾanna al-ḥawḍa ḥaqqun» waʾakhadha al-ṣaḥīfata al-latī jāʾa bihā ʾabū sabrata
Ibn Ziyād said, “I have heard no report about the Pool more firmly established for me than this. I testify that the Pool is real.” He took the sheet Abū Sabrah had brought.
١٦١١ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا فِطْرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ،

1611 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; al-Faḍl ibn Mūsā informed us; Fiṭr informed us; from ʿAṭāʾ:
فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ} [الْكَوْثَرِ: ١] قَالَ: «حَوْضُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
fī qawli allāhi taʿālā {ʾinnā ʾaʿṭaynāka al-kawthara} [al-kawthari: 1] qāla: «ḥawḍu rasūli allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama fī al-jannati»
ʿAṭāʾ explained God Most High’s words, “We have given you al-Kawthar” [al-Kawthar 108:1] as “the Pool of God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, in Paradise.”
١٦١٢ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:

1612 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAdī informed us; Ḥumayd narrated to us; from Anas; God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, said:
“ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا نَهَرًا حَافَّتَاهُ خِيَامُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ فَضَرَبْتُ يَدِي إِلَى مَا يَجْرِي فِيهِ الْمَاءُ، فَإِذَا مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَهُ اللَّهُ ”
“ dakhaltu al-jannata faraʾaytu fīhā naharan ḥāffatāhu khiyāmu al-luʾluʾi faḍarabtu yadī ʾilā mā yajrī fīhi al-māʾu, faʾidhā miskun ʾadhfaru, faqultu: yā jabraʾīlu mā hādhā? qāla: hādhā al-kawtharu al-ladhī ʾaʿṭākahu allāhu ”
“I entered Paradise and saw a river with pavilions of pearl along its banks. I reached my hand toward the place through which its water flowed and found intensely fragrant musk. I asked Gabriel, ‘What is this?’ He said, ‘It is al-Kawthar, which God has given you.’”
١٦١٣ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ، عَنِ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ:

1613 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Hushaym informed us; from ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib; from Muḥārib ibn Dithār; from Ibn ʿUmar; he said:
«الْكَوْثَرُ نَهَرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، حَافَّتَاهُ ذَهَبٌ وَفِضَّةٌ، يَجْرِي عَلَى الدُّرِّ وَالْيَاقُوتِ، مَاؤُهُ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ»
«al-kawtharu naharun fī al-jannati, ḥāffatāhu dhahabun wafiḍḍatun, yajrī ʿalā al-durri wa-al-yāqūti, māʾuhu ʾashaddu bayāḍan mina al-labani waʾaḥlā mina al-ʿasali»
“Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise. Its banks are gold and silver; it flows over pearls and rubies. Its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey.”
١٦١٤ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، وَعَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ:

1614 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Hushaym informed us; from Abū Bishr and ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib; from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr; from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said:
«إِنَّ الْكَوْثَرَ الْخَيْرُ الْكَثِيرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ» قَالَ أَبُو بِشْرٍ: فَقُلْتُ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ: إِنَّ نَاسًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ نَهَرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، فَقَالَ: «النَّهَرُ الَّذِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ الْكَثِيرِ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ»
«ʾinna al-kawthara al-khayru al-kathīru al-ladhī ʾaʿṭāhu allāhu ʾiyyāhu» qāla ʾabū bishrin: faqultu lisaʿīdi bni jubayrin: ʾinna nāsan yazʿumūna ʾannahu naharun fī al-jannati, faqāla: «al-naharu al-ladhī fī al-jannati mina al-khayri al-kathīri al-ladhī ʾaʿṭāhu allāhu ʾiyyāhu»
“Al-Kawthar is the abundant good God has given him.” Abū Bishr said, “I told Saʿīd ibn Jubayr that some people claim it is a river in Paradise.” Saʿīd answered, “That river is part of the abundant good God has given him.”
١٦١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَارَةُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ:

«إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ كُنْتُ إِمَامَ النَّبِيِّينَ، وَخَطِيبَهُمْ، وَصَاحِبَ شَفَاعَتِهِمْ، وَلَا فَخْرَ»
«ʾidhā kāna yawmu al-qiyāmati kuntu ʾimāma al-nabiyyīna, wakhaṭībahum, waṣāḥiba shafāʿatihim, walā fakhra»
“On the Day of Resurrection I shall be leader of the prophets, their speaker, and the one who holds their intercession—and I do not boast.”
١٦١٨ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:

1618 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Wakīʿ informed us; from al-Aʿmash; from Mujāhid; God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, said:
“ أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ نَبِيٌّ قَبْلِي: جُعِلَتْ لِي الْأَرْضُ مَسْجِدًا، وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ، فَيُرْعَبُ الْقَوْمُ مِنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ، وَبُعِثْتُ إِلَى الْأَبْيَضِ وَالْأَسْوَدِ، وَأُحِلَّتْ لِيَ الْغَنَائِمُ، وَلَمْ تُحَلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي، وَقِيلَ لِي: سَلْ تُعْطَهْ فَاخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي، فَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ مِنْهُمْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا ”

“I was given five things no prophet before me was given: the earth was made a place of prayer for me; I was aided through terror, so that people a month’s journey ahead of me are filled with dread; I was sent to white and black alike; the spoils of war were permitted to me though not to anyone before me; and I was told, ‘Ask and you will be granted.’ I saved my prayer as intercession for my community. God willing, it will reach those of them who die without associating anything with God.”
١٦١٩ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى السِّينَانِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:

«likulli nabiyyin daʿwatun mustajābatun, fataʿajjala kullu nabiyyin daʿwatahu wa-khtabaʾtu daʿwatī shafāʿatan liʾummatī, fahiya nāʾilatun minhum ʾin shāʾa allāhu man māta lā yushriku bi-allāhi shayʾan»

«ʾurītu mā taʿmalu ʾummatī baʿdī faʾakhkhartu lahumu al-shafāʿata liyawmi al-qiyāmati»
“I was shown what my community would do after me, so I postponed intercession for them until the Day of Resurrection.”

«khuyyirtu bayna ʾan takūna ʾummatī niṣfa ʾahli al-jannati wabayna al-shafāʿati fa-khtartu al-shafāʿata»
“I was offered the choice between my community making up half the people of Paradise and intercession. I chose intercession.”
١٦٢٦ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ،

1626 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ informed us; from Abū ʿUthmān al-Nahdī:
أَنَّ سِتَّةَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، وَحُذَيْفَةُ، وَسَلْمَانُ، قَالُوا: «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيُعْطَى كِتَابَهُ فَيَرَى حَسَنَاتِهِ فِي صَدْرِ كِتَابِهِ، فَيَطْمَعُ، فَلَا يَزَالُ مَظَالِمُ الْعِبَادِ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ، ثُمَّ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ النَّاسِ فَرُكِّبَتْ فِي سَيِّئَاتِهِ»
ʾanna sittata nafarin min ʾaṣḥābi rasūli allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama minhum ʿabdu allāhi bnu masʿūdin, waḥudhayfatu, wasalmānu, qālū: «ʾinna al-ʿabda layuʿṭā kitābahu fayarā ḥasanātihi fī ṣadri kitābihi, fayaṭmaʿu, falā yazālu maẓālimu al-ʿibādi ḥattā lā yabqā lahu ḥasanatun, thumma yuʾkhadhu min sayyiʾāti al-nāsi farukkibat fī sayyiʾātihi»
Six Companions of God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, including ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd, Ḥudhayfah, and Salmān, said: “A servant will be given his book and see his good deeds at its beginning, giving him hope. Then claimants whom he wronged will keep coming until he has no good deed left, and others’ bad deeds will be taken and added to his own.”
١٦٢٧ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ:
1627 - ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā ibnu al-mubāraki, ʾakhbaranā jaʿfaru bnu ḥayyāna, ʿani al-ḥasani qāla:
1627 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Jaʿfar ibn Ḥayyān informed us; from al-Ḥasan; he said:
«إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُعْطَى كِتَابَهُ حَتَّى يَرْجُوَ أَنْ يُصِيبَ مِنْهُ خَيْرًا فَلَا يَزَالُ يَقُومُ أَهْلُ الْمَظَالِمِ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ يُعْطَى بِهَا خَيْرًا»
«ʾinna al-rajula layuʿṭā kitābahu ḥattā yarjuwa ʾan yuṣība minhu khayran falā yazālu yaqūmu ʾahlu al-maẓālimi ḥattā lā yabqā lahu ḥasanatun yuʿṭā bihā khayran»
“A man will be given his book and hope to find good in it, but those whom he wronged will keep rising to claim their due until he has no good deed left for which he may receive good.”
