أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ آدَمَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَجِيلَةَ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ:
إِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ انْطَلَقُوا فِي سَفَرٍ، فَآوَاهُمُ اللَّيْلُ إِلَى غَارٍ، فَوَقَعَتْ صَخْرَةٌ عَلَى بَابِ ذَلِكَ الْغَارِ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: لَسْتُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ، وَقَدْ بُلِيتُمْ بِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ لَا يُمْكِنُكُمْ فِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَدْعُوا الَّذِي أَبْلَاكُمْ بِهِ أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا، فَلْيَنْظُرْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ أَفْضَلَ عَمَلٍ عَمِلَهُ فَلْيَذْكُرْهُ ثُمَّ لِيَدْعُو اللهَ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ لِي بِنْتُ عَمٍّ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهَا، فَأَرَدْتُهَا عَلَى نَفْسِهَا وَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ، فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ مِنْهَا مَجْلِسَ الرَّجُلِ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ، اسْتَقْبَلَتْهَا رِعْدَةٌ، وَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا عَمِلْتُ خَطِيئَةً قَطُّ وَمَا حَمَلَنِي عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا الْجَهْدُ، فَقُمْتُ وَقُلْتُ: هِيَ لَكِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي إِنَّمَا قُمْتُ عَنْهَا الْتِمَاسَ مَرْضَاتِكَ وَمَخَافَةَ سَخَطِكَ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا هَذَا الْحَجَرَ، فَانْحَطَّ الْحَجَرُ حَتَّى رَأَوُا الضَّوْءَ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِي أَبَوَانِ، وَكَانَتْ لِي غَنَمٌ أَرْعَى قَرِيبًا، وَإِنِّي تَبَاعَدْتُ فَجِئْتُ ذَلِكَ لَيْلَةً وَقَدِ احْتَبَسْتُ، فَحَلَبْتُ إِنَاءً مِنْ لَبَنٍ، وَأَتَيْتُ أَبَوَيَّ فَوَجَدْتُهُمَا نَائِمَيْنِ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُوقِظَهُمَا مِنْ نَوْمِهِمَا، فَبَاتَ الْإِنَاءُ عَلَى يَدَيَّ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَظَا مَتَى اسْتَيْقَظَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ الْتِمَاسَ مَرْضَاتِكَ وَمَخَافَةَ سَخَطِكَ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا هَذَا الْحَجَرَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَانْقَضَّ الْحَجَرُ حَتَّى رَأَوُا الضَّوْءَ وَرَجَوْا، قَالَ الثَّالِثُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّيَ اسْتَأْجَرْتُ رِجَالًا بِأَجْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ، وَكَانَ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ رَجُلَيْنِ، فَلَمَّا أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ قَالَ: أَعْطِنِي عَمَلَ رَجُلَيْنِ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّمَا لَكَ عَمَلُ رَجُلٍ، فَأَبَى وَتَرَكَهُ عِنْدِي وَذَهَبَ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَعْمَلُ لَهُ فِيهِ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ سِتُّونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ثَوْرٍ وَبَقَرَةٍ وَعَبْدٍ وَأَمَةٍ، فَجَاءَ بَعْدَ حِينٍ فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، أَمَا آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي أَجْرِيَ ؟ قُلْتُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا الَّذِي عَمِلْتُ مَعَكَ عَمَلَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَلَمْ تُعْطِنِي إِلَّا عَمَلَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ فَتَرَكْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: هَذِهِ سِتُّونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ ثَوْرٍ وَبَقَرَةٍ وَعَبْدٍ وَأَمَةٍ، قَالَ: حَبَسْتَنِي مَا حَبَسْتَنِي وَتَسْخَرُ بِي، قُلْتُ: هُوَ لَكَ فَخُذْهُ فَأَخَذَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ الْتِمَاسَ مَرْضَاتِكَ وَمَخَافَةَ سَخَطِكَ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا هَذَا الْحَجَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَزَالَ الْحَجَرُ وَانْطَلَقُوا يَمْشُونَ.

✧ Three men set out on a journey, and night overtook them and forced them into a cave. A rock fell and blocked the entrance of the cave. They said to one another: You are not on the road, and you have been afflicted with a great matter that can only be relieved by supplicating to the One who afflicted you with it—or words to that effect. Let each man among you recall the best deed he has done, mention it, and then supplicate to Allah. One of them said: O Allah, You know that I had a cousin, and there was no one on earth more beloved to me than her. I desired her for myself and offered her one hundred dinars. When I sat from her as a man sits from his wife, a trembling seized her, and she said: By Allah, I have never committed a sin, and nothing compelled me to this except dire need. So I got up and said: It is yours (the money). O Allah, if You know that I only left her seeking Your pleasure and fearing Your wrath, then remove this rock from us. The rock shifted until they saw the light. The second man said: O Allah, if You know that I had parents and sheep that I pastured nearby, and I stayed away and came to them one night after being delayed, I milked a vessel of milk and brought it to my parents, but found them asleep. I disliked waking them from their sleep, so the vessel remained in my hands until they awoke—whenever they awoke. O Allah, if You know that I only did that seeking Your pleasure and fearing Your wrath, then remove this rock from us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The rock cracked until they saw the light and had hope. The third man said: O Allah, if You know that I hired men for a known wage, and among them was a man who did the work of two men. When I gave them their wages, he said: Give me the wages of two men. I said: You are only entitled to the work of one man. He refused and left his wages with me and went away. I kept working with it on his behalf until sixty head gathered, including bulls, cows, and male and female slaves. He came after a time and said: O servant of Allah, is it not time for you to give me my wages? I said: Who are you? He said: I am the one who did the work of two men with you, and you only gave me the work of one man, so I left it. I said: These are sixty head, including bulls, cows, and male and female slaves. He said: You have withheld from me as long as you have, and now you mock me. I said: It is yours, take it. He took it. O Allah, if You know that I only did that seeking Your pleasure and fearing Your wrath, then remove this rock from us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The rock moved aside, and they departed walking.
