وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ. وَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
خَرَجَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ يَرْتَادُونَ لِأَهْلِيهِمْ، فَأَصَابَتْهُمُ السَّمَاءُ، فَلَجَئُوا إِلَى جَبَلٍ أَوْ كَهْفٍ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَجَرٌ يَعْنِي وَقَعَ عَلَى فَمِ الْكَهْفِ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: وَقَعَ الْحَجَرُ، وَعَفَا الْأَثَرُ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ بِمَكَانِكُمْ إِلَّا اللهُ، فَادْعُوا اللهَ بِأَوْثَقِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، قَالَ أَحَدُهُمُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِي وَالِدَانِ، وَكُنْتُ أَحْلُبُ لَهُمَا فِي إِنَائِهِمَا، فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُهُمَا وَهُمَا نَائِمَانِ قُمْتُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَا مَتَى اسْتَيْقَظَا، وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ يَدُورَ وَسَنُهُمَا فِي رُءُوسِهِمَا، فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَا شَرِبَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ رَجَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَخَشْيَةَ عَذَابِكَ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا. قَالَ: فَزَالَ ثُلُثُ الْحَجَرِ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تُعْجِبُنِي، فَأَرَدْتُهَا فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تُمَكِّنِّي مِنْ نَفْسِهَا حَتَّى جَعَلْتُ لَهَا جُعْلًا، فَلَمَّا أَخَذَتْ جُعْلَهَا وَاسْتَقَرَّتْ نَفْسُهَا تَرَكْتُهَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ رَجَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَخَشْيَةَ عَذَابِكَ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا. قَالَ: فَزَالَ ثُلُثُ الْحَجَرِ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي اسْتَأْجَرْتُ أَجِيرًا يَعْمَلُ لِي يَوْمًا فَعَمِلَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَطْلُبُ أَجْرَهُ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ وَتَسَخَّطَهُ، فَوَفَّرْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى صَارَ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَطْلُبُ أَجْرَهُ فَقُلْتُ: خُذْ هَذَا كُلَّهُ، وَلَوْ شِئْتُ لَمْ أُعْطِهِ إِلَّا أَجْرَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ رَجَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَخَشْيَةَ عَذَابِكَ فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا. قَالَ: فَزَالَ الْحَجَرُ، وَخَرَجُوا يَتَمَاشَوْنَ

✧ Three men from those before you went out seeking provisions for their families, and rain overtook them, so they took refuge in a mountain or a cave, and a rock fell upon them - meaning it fell upon the mouth of the cave. They said to one another, "The rock has fallen, the trail is obliterated, and no one knows your location except God, so call upon God by the most trustworthy of your deeds." One of them said, "O God, if You know that I had two elderly parents, and I used to milk for them into their vessel. When I came to them while they were sleeping, I would stand upright until they woke up, whenever they woke up, for I disliked that the milk should turn while they slept. When they woke up, they would drink. O God, if You know that I did that hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, then relieve us of this rock." He said, "So a third of the rock moved." The second said, "O God, if You know that there was a woman who pleased me, and I desired her, but she refused to yield to me until I made a payment for her. When she took the payment and her soul was at rest, I left her. O God, if You know that I did that hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, then relieve us of this rock." He said, "So a third of the rock moved." The third said, "O God, if You know that I hired a laborer to work for me for a day, and he worked, then he came seeking his wages, and I gave him but he would not take them and was displeased, so I invested them for him until they became all the wealth. Then he came seeking his wages, and I said, 'Take all of this, and had I wished I would not have given him except his original wage.' O God, if You know that I did that hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, then relieve us of this rock." He said, "So the rock moved, and they went out walking."
