حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ
أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْكَدِيدِ - أَوْ قَالَ: بِقُدَيْدٍ - فَجَعَلَ رِجَالٌ مِنَّا يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ إِلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ، فَيَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَكُونُ شِقُّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ " فَلَمْ نَرَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكِيًا، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: إِنَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ بَعْدَ هَذَا لَسَفِيهٌ. فَحَمِدَ اللهَ، وَقَالَ حِينَئِذٍ [قَالَ]: " أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَا يَمُوتُ عَبْدٌ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ صِدْقًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إِلَّا سُلِكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " قَالَ: " وَقَدْ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا، لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا عَذَابَ، وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " وَقَالَ: " إِذَا مَضَى نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ - أَوْ قَالَ ثُلُثَا اللَّيْلِ - يَنْزِلُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَيَقُولُ: لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي أَحَدًا غَيْرِي، مَنْ ذَا يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ، مَنِ الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي أَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي أُعْطِيهِ، حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ ".

✧ We returned with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until when we were at al-Kadid—or he said Qudayd—some men among us began seeking his permission to go to their families, and he would grant them permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood, praised and extolled Allah, then said: 'What is the matter with men that the side of the tree nearest to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is more hateful to them than the other side?' At that, we saw none of the people except one weeping. A man said: 'The one who seeks your permission after this is indeed foolish.' He praised Allah and then said: 'I bear witness before Allah that no servant dies bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, truthfully from his heart, and then remains upright, except that he will be admitted to Paradise.' He said: 'And my Lord, Mighty and Exalted, has promised me that He will admit seventy thousand of my community without reckoning or punishment. And I hope that they will not enter it until you and the righteous among your fathers, your wives, and your offspring take up dwellings in Paradise.' And he said: 'When half the night—or he said two-thirds of the night—has passed, Allah, Mighty and Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven and says: I do not ask about My servants anyone other than Myself. Who seeks My forgiveness that I may forgive him? Who calls upon Me that I may answer him? Who asks of Me that I may give him?—until dawn breaks.'
