حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْمَاطِيُّ، قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَابِقٍ، قَالَ: نَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ:
أَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اسْتَخْلَفُوا خَلِيفَةً عَلَيْهِمْ بَعْدَ مُوسَى ﷺ، فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي لَيْلَةً فِي الْقَمَرِ فَوْقَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، فَذَكَرَ أُمُورًا كَانَ صَنَعَهَا، فَخَرَجَ فَتَدَلَّى بِسَبَبٍ، فَأَصْبَحَ السَّبَبُ مُتَعَلِّقًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَى قَوْمًا عَلَى شَطِّ الْبَحْرِ فَوَجَدَهُمْ يَضْرِبُونَ لَبِنًا أَوْ يَصْنَعُونَ لَبِنًا، فَسَأَلَهُمْ كَيْفَ تَأْخُذُونَ عَلَى هَذَا اللَّبِنِ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَخْبَرُوهُ، فَلَبَّنَ مَعَهُمْ، فَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدِهِ، فَإِذَا كَانَ حِينُ الصَّلَاةِ قَامَ يُصَلِّي، فَرَفَعَ ذَلِكَ الْعُمَّالُ إِلَى دِهْقَانِهِمْ أَنَّ فِينَا رَجُلًا يَفْعَلُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ جَاءَهُ يَسِيرُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ فَرَّ، فَاتَّبَعَهُ فَسَبَقَهُ فَقَالَ: أَنْظِرْنِي أُكَلِّمْكَ، قَالَ: فَقَامَ حَتَّى كَلَّمَهُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ خَبَرَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَلِكًا وَأَنَّهُ فَرَّ مِنْ رَهْبَةِ اللهِ قَالَ: إِنِّي لَأَظُنَّنِي لَاحِقٌ بِكَ، قَالَ: فَاتَّبَعَهُ فَعَبَدَ اللهَ حَتَّى مَاتَا بِرُمَيْلَةَ مِصْرَ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: لَوْ أَنِّي كُنْتُ ثَمَّ لَاهْتَدَيْتُ إِلَى قَبْرَيْهِمَا مِنْ صِفَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الَّتِي وَصَفَ لَنَا

✧ The Children of Israel appointed a caliph over them after Musa ﷺ. He stood praying one moonlit night on the roof of Bayt al-Maqdis, and he recalled things he had done. He went out and let himself down by a rope, and by morning the rope was left hanging in the mosque while he had gone. He went on until he came to a people on the shore of the sea, and found them making bricks. He asked them, 'What do you charge for these bricks?' They told him, and he made bricks with them. He ate from the work of his own hands. When it was time for prayer, he stood and prayed. The workers reported to their landowner that among them was a man who did such-and-such. He sent for him, but he refused to come three times. Then he came to him riding on his mount. When he saw him, he fled, and the landowner followed him and overtook him. He said, 'Wait, let me speak to you.' He stood until he spoke to him and told him his story. When he told him that he had been a king and that he had fled out of fear of Allah, he said, 'I think I will follow you.' So he followed him and worshipped Allah until they both died at Rumaylah in Egypt. 'Abdullah said, 'If I had been there, I would have been guided to their graves from the description of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he described to us.'
