حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْأَشْتَرِ
أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَهُوَ بِالرَّبَذَةِ، فَبَكَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟ قَالَتْ: أَبْكِي أَنَّهُ لَا يَدَ لِي بِنَفْسِكَ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي ثَوْبٌ يَسَعُكَ كَفَنًا. فَقَالَ: لَا تَبْكِي، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ فِي نَفَرٍ يَقُولُ: لَيَمُوتَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، يَشْهَدُهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ. قَالَ: فَكُلُّ مَنْ كَانَ مَعِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ مَاتَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ وَفُرْقَةٍ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ غَيْرِي، وَقَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ بِالْفَلَاةِ أَمُوتُ، فَرَاقِبِي الطَّرِيقَ، فَإِنَّكِ سَوْفَ تَرَيْنَ مَا أَقُولُ، فَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِبْتُ. قَالَتْ: وَأَنَّى ذَلِكَ وَقَدِ انْقَطَعَ الْحَاجُّ ؟ قَالَ: رَاقِبِي الطَّرِيقَ. قَالَ: فَبَيْنَا هِيَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا هِيَ بِالْقَوْمِ تَخُدُّ بِهِمْ رَوَاحِلُهُمْ، كَأَنَّهُمُ الرَّخَمُ، فَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى وَقَفُوا عَلَيْهَا فَقَالُوا: مَا لَكِ؟ قَالَتِ: امْرُؤٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ تُكَفِّنُونَهُ وَتُؤْجَرُونَ فِيهِ ؟ قَالُوا: وَمَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالَتْ: أَبُو ذَرٍّ. فَفَدَّوْهُ بِآبَائِهِمْ وَأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ، وَوَضَعُوا سِيَاطَهُمْ فِي نُحُورِهَا يَبْتَدِرُونَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَبْشِرُوا، أَنْتُمُ النَّفَرُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فِيكُمْ مَا قَالَ، أَبْشِرُوا، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَا مِنِ امْرَأَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ هَلَكَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَدَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ، فَاحْتَسَبَا وَصَبَرَا فَيَرَيَانِ النَّارَ أَبَدًا. ثُمَّ قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ الْيَوْمَ حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ ثَوْبًا مِنْ ثِيَابِي يَسَعُنِي لَمْ أُكَفَّنْ إِلَّا فِيهِ، فَأَنْشُدُكُمُ اللهَ أَنْ لَا يُكَفِّنَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ كَانَ أَمِيرًا، أَوْ عَرِيفًا، أَوْ بَرِيدًا. فَكُلُّ الْقَوْمِ كَانَ قَدْ نَالَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا، إِلَّا فَتًى مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ قَالَ: أَنَا صَاحِبُكَ، ثَوْبَانِ فِي عَيْبَتِي مِنْ غَزْلِ أُمِّي، وَأَحَدُ ثَوْبَيَّ هَذَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ عَلَيَّ. قَالَ: أَنْتَ صَاحِبِي فَكَفِّنِّي

✧ Abu Dharr was attended by death while at al-Rabadha, and his wife wept. He said: 'What makes you weep?' She said: 'I weep because I cannot manage your burial, and I have no garment that would suffice as your shroud.' He said: 'Do not weep, for I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ one day while I was with him among a group saying: "A man among you will surely die in a desert plain, witnessed by a band of believers." All who were with me in that gathering have died in a group or dispersed, and none remains but me. I have now come to the desert to die. Watch the road, for you will soon see what I say. By God, I have not lied nor been lied to.' She said: 'How can that be when the pilgrims have stopped passing?' He said: 'Watch the road.' While she was thus, there came a group of men whose mounts were speeding, as if they were vultures. They approached and stopped at her. They said: 'What is the matter with you?' She said: 'A Muslim man [is dying]; will you shroud him and be rewarded?' They asked: 'Who is he?' She said: 'Abu Dharr.' They ransomed him with their fathers and mothers, and they placed their whips in their chests, racing to him. He said: 'Rejoice, you are the group about whom the Messenger of God ﷺ said what he said. Rejoice, I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "No two Muslim parents lose two or three children, and they seek reward and are patient, but they will ever see the Fire." I have now become as you see. If any of my garments would suffice as my shroud, I would not be shrouded except in it. I adjure you by God not to shroud me if any of you has been a commander, an 'arif, or a courier.' All the men had held some such office except a young man from the Ansar who was with them. He said: 'I am your companion. I have two garments in my bag, spun by my mother, and one of these two garments I am wearing.' He said: 'You are my companion, so shroud me.'
