حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَقَالَ لَنَا
وَاللهِ مَا خَلَقَ اللهُ مُؤْمِنًا يَسْمَعُ بِي وَلَا يَرَانِي إِلَّا أَحَبَّنِي، قُلْتُ: وَمَا عِلْمُكَ بِذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ أُمِّي كَانَتِ امْرَأَةً مُشْرِكَةً، وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَدْعُوهَا إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَكَانَتْ تَأْبَى عَلَيَّ، فَدَعَوْتُهَا يَوْمًا فَأَسْمَعَتْنِي فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَكْرَهُ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَدْعُو أُمِّي إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَكَانَتْ تَأْبَى عَلَيَّ، وَإِنِّي دَعَوْتُهَا الْيَوْمَ فَأَسْمَعَتْنِي فِيكَ مَا أَكْرَهُ، فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَهْدِيَ أُمَّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ أُمَّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فَخَرَجْتُ أَعْدُو أُبَشِّرُهَا بِدُعَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُ الْبَابَ إِذَا هُوَ مُجَافٍ، وَسَمِعْتُ خَضْخَضَةَ الْمَاءِ، وَسَمِعَتْ خَشْفَ رِجْلٍ - يَعْنِي وَقْعَهَا - فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، كَمَا أَنْتَ، ثُمَّ فَتَحَتِ الْبَابَ، وَقَدْ لَبِسَتْ دِرْعَهَا وَعَجِلَتْ عَنْ خِمَارِهَا، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْكِي مِنَ الْفَرَحِ كَمَا بَكَيْتُ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبْشِرْ فَقَدِ اسْتَجَابَ اللهُ دُعَاءَكَ، وَقَدْ هَدَى أُمَّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يُحَبِّبَنِي أَنَا وَأُمِّي إِلَى عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَيُحَبِّبَهُمْ إِلَيْنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ عُبَيْدَكَ هَذَا وَأُمَّهُ إِلَى عِبَادِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَحَبِّبْهُمْ إِلَيْهِمَا، فَمَا خَلَقَ اللهُ مُؤْمِنًا يَسْمَعُ بِي وَلَا يَرَانِي، أَوْ يَرَى أُمِّي، إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُحِبُّنِي

✧ By Allah, Allah has not created any believer who hears of me or sees me except that he loves me. I said: How do you know that, O Abu Hurayrah? He said: My mother was a polytheist woman, and I used to call her to Islam but she refused. One day I called her and she made me hear about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what I disliked. So I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ weeping and said: O Messenger of Allah, I used to call my mother to Islam but she refused, and today I called her and she made me hear about you what I disliked. So supplicate to Allah to guide the mother of Abu Hurayrah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O Allah, guide the mother of Abu Hurayrah. I went out running to give her the good news of the supplication of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I reached the door, it was bolted, and I heard the splashing of water, and she heard the sound of my footsteps—meaning their fall—so she said: O Abu Hurayrah, stay where you are. Then she opened the door, having put on her garment but hurried without her headcover, and said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ weeping from joy just as I had wept from grief, and said: O Messenger of Allah, rejoice, for Allah has answered your supplication and guided the mother of Abu Hurayrah. I said: O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah to make me and my mother beloved to His believing servants and to make them beloved to us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O Allah, make this servant of Yours and his mother beloved to Your believing servants, and make them beloved to them. So Allah has not created any believer who hears of me or sees me, or sees my mother, except that he loves me.
