وَعَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ:
لَقَدْ أَتَانِي الْيَوْمَ رَجُلٌ، فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ أَمْرٍ مَا دَرَيْتُ مَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا مُؤْدِيًا نَشِيطًا، يَخْرُجُ فِي الْمَغَازِي، فَيَعْزِمُونَ عَلَيْنَا فِي أَشْيَاءَ لَا نَجِدُ مِنْهَا بُدًّا، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لَكَ، إِلَّا أَنَّا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَسَى أَنْ لَا يَعْزِمَ عَلَيْنَا فِي الْأَمْرِ إِلَّا مَرَّةً حَتَّى نَفْعَلَهُ، وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَنْ يَزَالَ بِخَيْرٍ مَا اتَّقَى اللهَ، وَإِذَا شَكَّ فِي نَفْسِهِ شَيْئًا سَأَلَ رَجُلًا فَشَفَاهُ، وَأَوْشَكَ أَنْ لَا تَجِدُوهُ، وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، مَا أَذْكُرُ مَا غَبَرَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا كَالثَّغَبِ، شُرِبَ صَفْوُهُ وَبَقِيَ كَدَرُهُ

✧ A man came to me today and asked me about something I did not know how to answer. He said: 'What do you think of a dutiful, active man who goes out on military expeditions, and they bind us to things we cannot avoid?' I said to him: 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to you, except that we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and perhaps he would not bind us to a matter more than once until we did it. One of you will remain in good as long as he fears Allah, and if he doubts something in himself he asks a man who can cure it. It is near that you will not find him. By the One besides whom there is no deity, I do not remember what has passed of the world except as a pool whose clear water has been drunk and whose dregs remain.'
