Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 341

Translation

✧ Rajāʾ said: I set out one day with Miḥjan until we reached the mosque of the people of Baṣrah, and there was Buraydah al-Aslamī sitting at one of the gates of the mosque. He said: In the mosque there was a man called Sukbah who used to prolong the prayer. When we reached the gate of the mosque—and Buraydah had a cloak on—and Buraydah was a man fond of joking, he said: "O Miḥjan, will you pray as Sukbah prays?" Miḥjan did not answer him and turned back. He said: Miḥjan said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took me by the hand, and we set off walking until we climbed Uḥud. He looked out over Madinah and said: 'Woe to its mother—a town whose people abandon it when it is at its most prosperous! The Dajjāl will come to it and find at every one of its gates an angel, so he will not enter it.' Then he descended until, when we were in the mosque, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man praying, prostrating, and bowing. He said to me: 'Who is this?' I began to extol him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this is so-and-so, and this is...' He said: 'Stop! Do not let him hear you, or you will destroy him.'" He said: "Then he went on walking until, when he was near his rooms, he shook his hands and said: 'The best of your religion is the easiest of it; the best of your religion is the easiest of it'—three times."
