People will emerge saying the like of his saying; they recite the Quran but it does not pass their collarbones. They exit the religion as the arrow exits the target." He took an arrow and looked at its binding but saw nothing on it; then he looked at its head—meaning the shaft—but saw nothing on it; then he looked at its feathers but saw nothing on it. It outran the dung and blood. Their mark is a man whose hand is like a woman's breast, like a piece of flesh quivering, on which there are hairs like the forelock of a beast of prey."

With him is something like Paradise and Hell. His Paradise is a haze with smoke, and his Hell is a green garden. In front of him are two men who warn the people of the villages. Whenever they leave a village, its first people enter, and he is given power over a man whom he is not given power over anyone else. He slaughters him, then strikes him with his staff, then says: 'Arise.' Then he says to his companions: 'What do you think? Am I not your Lord?' They testify to him with polytheism.

Then he returns and slaughters him again, then strikes him with his staff, and says to him: 'Arise.' Then he says to his companions: 'What do you think? Am I not your Lord?' They testify to him with polytheism. The slaughtered man says: 'O people, indeed this is the false Messiah about whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ warned us.

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us after the afternoon prayer until the sun was nearly setting. Those who memorized it memorized it, and those who forgot it forgot it. He praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: To proceed: indeed, the world is sweet and green, and Allah is making you successors in it and is watching how you act. So beware of the world and beware of women. Indeed, every betrayer will have a banner in proportion to his betrayal, and there is no betrayal greater than the betrayal of a leader of a group. Indeed, the best of men is one who is slow to anger and quick to calm down, and the worst of men is one who is quick to anger and slow to calm down. If he is quick to anger and quick to calm down, then it is as it is. If he is slow to anger and slow to calm down, then it is as it is. Indeed, the best of merchants is one who is good in repayment and good in seeking, and the worst of merchants is one who is bad in repayment and bad in seeking. If a man is bad in repayment and good in seeking, then it is as it is. If a man is good in repayment and bad in seeking, then it is as it is. Indeed, anger is a live coal kindled in the heart of the son of Adam. Do you not see his eyes and the swelling of his veins? So whoever senses any of that, let him cling to the ground. And let not any of you be prevented by awe of people from speaking the truth when he knows it. Indeed, the most excellent jihad is a word of truth in the presence of a tyrannical ruler. Then when the sun was nearly setting, he said: Indeed, the amount of the world that has passed compared to what remains of it is like the amount of this day of ours that has passed compared to what remains.

I said to myself: I will seek self-sufficiency and God will make me self-sufficient, and I will seek abstinence and God will make me abstain. So I did not ask the Prophet ﷺ for anything."

He came out wearing a striped cloak. I said to him: "Did you hear the Messenger of God ﷺ mention the Night of Qadr?" He said: "Yes. We performed i'tikaf with the Messenger of God ﷺ during the middle ten days of Ramadan. We came out on the morning of the twentieth, and the Messenger of God ﷺ delivered a sermon to us, saying: 'I was shown the Night of Qadr, but I was made to forget it—or: I forgot it—so seek it in the last ten nights on the odd nights. And I saw that I was prostrating in water and mud. Whoever performed i'tikaf with the Messenger of God ﷺ should return.' So we returned, and we did not see any cloud in the sky.

Khalid, the sword of God, stood up and said: "O Messenger of God, shall I strike his neck?" He said: "No, for perhaps he may pray." He said: "If he prays, he says with his tongue what is not in his heart." He said: "I have not been commanded to split open people's hearts or split open their bellies." The Prophet ﷺ looked at him as he was departing and said: "From the stock of this one there will come a people who recite the Book of God, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will pass through the religion as an arrow passes through the game." Umarah said: "I think he said: 'If I catch them, I will kill them as Thamud was killed.'"

Then I will say: As for the lineage, I have recognized it, but you introduced innovations after me and you turned back on your heels.

     بَيْنَمَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يُصَلِّي إِلَى شَيْءٍ يَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، إِذْ جَاءَ شَابٌّ مِنْ بَنِي مُعَيْطٍ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَدَفَعَهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فِي نَحْرِهِ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَسَاغًا إِلَّا مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، فَعَادَ فَدَفَعَهُ فِي نَحْرِهِ أَشَدَّ مِنَ الدَّفْعَةِ الْأُولَى، قَالَ: فَمَثَلَ قَائِمًا، ثُمَّ نَالَ مِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ. قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ، فَقَالَ: مَا لَكَ وَلِابْنِ أَخِيكَ جَاءَ يَشْتَكِيكَ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَأَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيَدْفَعْ فِي نَحْرِهِ، فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ

     ✧ While Abu Sa'id al-Khudri was praying on Friday toward something that screened him from the people, a young man from Banu Mu'ayt came and wanted to pass in front of him. He said: Abu Sa'id pushed him in his chest, and he found no way except what was in front of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, so he returned, and Abu Sa'id pushed him in his chest harder than the first push. He said: He stood still, then he reviled Abu Sa'id. He said: Abu Sa'id entered upon Marwan, who said: What is the matter between you and your nephew? He came complaining about you. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When one of you prays and someone wants to pass in front of him, let him push him in his chest; if he refuses, let him fight him, for he is only a devil.

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and said: Indeed, the thing I fear most for you is what Allah brings out for you of the adornment and splendor of this world. A man said to him: O Messenger of Allah, can good bring evil? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was silent, and we saw that revelation was coming down upon him. It was said to him: What is the matter with you? You speak to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he does not speak to you? Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was relieved, and he began wiping the sweat from his face. He said: Where is the questioner? We saw that he praised him. He said: Indeed, good does not bring evil. And indeed, among what the spring causes to grow is that which kills, or nearly kills, by bloating. Have you not seen the eater of green vegetation? It ate until its flanks were full, then it faced the sun and dropped dung and urinated, then it grazed again. Indeed, wealth is sweet and green, and an excellent companion to a Muslim is it if he maintains kinship ties and spends in the way of Allah. The example of the one who takes it without right is like the one who eats and does not become full, and it will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection.

As for Hell, its people will be thrown into it, and it will say: 'Is there any more?' until the Blessed and Exalted comes to it and it is constricted, and it says: 'Enough! Enough!' As for Paradise, whatever Allah wills will remain in it, then Allah will create for it a new creation from whatever He wills.

     " إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَمْرًا، فَلْيَقُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا - مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ - لِي خَيْرًا فِي دِينِي، وَمَعِيشَتِي، وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي، وَإِلَّا فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي، وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَدِّرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ أَيْنَمَا كَانَ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

     ✧ When one of you intends a matter, let him say: 'O Allah, I seek Your guidance by Your knowledge, and I seek Your power by Your might, and I ask You of Your bounty. For You have power and I have no power; You know and I do not know; and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if this matter - the matter he intends - is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affair, then decree it for me and make it easy for me, then bless me in it. And if this matter is evil for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affair, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, then decree for me the good wherever it may be, then make me pleased with it.' There is no power and no strength except with Allah.

     كَانَ يَخْرُجُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ - يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ - فَيُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ تَيْنِكَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ وَيَقُومُ فَيَسْتَقْبِلُ النَّاسَ وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ، فَيَقُولُ: تَصَدَّقُوا تَصَدَّقُوا ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَ مَنْ يَتَصَدَّقُ النِّسَاءُ بِالْقُرْطِ، وَالْخَاتَمِ وَالشَّيْءِ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَاجَةٌ، أَوْ يَضْرِبُ لِلنَّاسِ بَعْثًا ذَكَرَهُ لَهُمْ، وَإِلَّا انْصَرَفَ

     ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ took the banner and shook it, then said: 'Who will take it with its due right?' Then al-Zubayr came and said: 'I will.' He said: 'Step aside.' Then another man stood and said: 'I will.' He said: 'Step aside.' Then another stood and said: 'I will.' He said: 'Step aside.' Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'By the One who honored the face of Muhammad, I will give it to a man who will not flee with it. Here, take it, O 'Ali.' So he grasped it, then went off until God granted the conquest of Fadak and Khaybar, and he brought back its pressed dates and dried meat.

     ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent 'Alqamah b. Mujazziz on an expedition in which I was among them. We set out until we were at the start of our campaign or on part of the road. A group sought his permission to leave, and he permitted them, and appointed 'Abdullah b. Hudhafah over them. He was one of the companions of Badr, and he had a sense of humor. I was among those who returned with him. While we were on part of the road, we halted at our camp, and the people lit a fire to warm themselves or to prepare something for themselves. Then 'Abdullah said to them: 'Do I not have the right of hearing and obedience over you?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Whatever I command you, will you not do it?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then I adjure you by my right and your obedience to me: throw yourselves into this fire.' He said: Some people stood up and girded themselves, until when he thought they were about to leap into it, he said: 'Restrain yourselves; I was only joking with you.' When they came to the Prophet of God ﷺ, they mentioned that to him. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Whoever among them commands you to disobedience, do not obey him.'

     " يُفْتَحُ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ عَلَى النَّاسِ، كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ: وَهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ، فَيَغْشَوْنَ النَّاسَ، وَيَنْحَازُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَنْهُمْ إِلَى مَدَائِنِهِمْ وَحُصُونِهِمْ، وَيَضُمُّونَ إِلَيْهِمْ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ مِيَاهَ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى إِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ لَيَمُرُّ بِالنَّهَرِ فَيَشْرَبُونَ مَا فِيهِ حَتَّى يَتْرَكُوا يَبَسًا، حَتَّى إِنَّ مَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ لَيَمُرُّ بِذَلِكَ النَّهَرِ، فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ كَانَ هَاهُنَا مَاءٌ مَرَّةً، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا أَحَدٌ فِي حِصْنٍ أَوْ مَدِينَةٍ قَالَ قَائِلُهُمْ: هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ قَدْ فَرَغْنَا مِنْهُمْ، بَقِيَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ يَهُزُّ أَحَدُهُمْ حَرْبَتَهُ، ثُمَّ يَرْمِي بِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ مُتَخَضِّبَةً دَمًا؛ لِلْبَلَاءِ وَالْفِتْنَةِ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ اللهُ دُودًا فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ كَنَغَفِ الْجَرَادِ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ، فَيُصْبِحُونَ مَوْتَى لَا يُسْمَعُ لَهُمْ حِسٌّ، فَيَقُولُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ: أَلَا رَجُلٌ يَشْتَرِي لَنَا نَفْسَهُ فَيَنْظُرَ مَا فَعَلَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْعَدُوُّ ؟ قَالَ: فَتَجَرَّدَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ لِذَلِكَ مُحْتَسِبًا لِنَفْسِهِ قَدْ أَطَابَهَا عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَقْتُولٌ، فَيَجِدُهُمْ مَوْتَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، فَيُنَادِي: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَلَا أَبْشِرُوا، فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ كَفَاكُمْ عَدُوَّكُمْ. فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ مَدَائِنِهِمْ وَحُصُونِهِمْ وَيُسَرِّحُونَ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ، فَلَا يَكُونُ لَهَا رَعْيٌ إِلَّا لُحُومَهُمْ، فَتَشْكَرُ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا شَكِرَتْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ النَّبَاتِ أَصَابَتْهُ قَطُّ

     ✧ Yajuj and Majuj will be let loose upon the people, as God said: 'And they descend from every elevation.' They will overwhelm the people, and the Muslims will withdraw from them to their cities and fortresses, and gather their livestock to themselves, and drink the waters of the earth until one of them passes by a river and they drink what is in it until they leave it dry, so that those after them pass by that river and say: 'There was once water here.' Until when none of the people remain except one in a fortress or city, one of them says: 'These are the people of the earth; we have finished with them. The people of heaven remain.' Then one of them shakes his spear and hurls it toward the sky, and it returns to him stained with blood, as a trial and tribulation. While they are in that state, God sends worms in their necks like the larvae of locusts that emerge in their necks, and they become dead, no sound heard from them. The Muslims say: 'Is there a man who will risk his life for us to see what has happened to these enemies?' A man among them volunteers for that, expecting to be killed, and finds them dead, one upon another. He calls out: 'O assembly of Muslims, rejoice, for God has sufficed you against your enemy.' So they come out of their cities and fortresses and send their livestock to graze, but there is no pasture for them except their flesh, and they fatten as well as they ever fattened on any vegetation they had eaten.

     أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ حَتَّى نَفِدَ مَا عِنْدَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَنْفَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ: مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَنْ أَدَّخِرَهُ عَنْكُمْ، وَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَسْتَعِفَّ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَصْطَبِرْ يُصَبِّرْهُ اللهُ، وَلَمْ تُعْطَوْا عَطَاءً خَيْرًا وَلَا أَوْسَعَ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ

     ✧ Some people of the Ansar asked the Messenger of God ﷺ, and no one asked him but he gave him, until what he had was exhausted. When he had spent all that he had, he said: 'Whatever good I have, I will never withhold it from you. Whoever seeks chastity, God will make him chaste; whoever seeks self-sufficiency, God will enrich him; whoever seeks patience, God will grant him patience. You have not been given a gift better or more ample than patience.'

     ✧ A Nabataean from Syria arrived with thirty loads of barley and dates in the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he set a price, meaning a mudd for a dirham, using the mudd of the Prophet ﷺ, and there was no other food among the people that day. The people complained to the Messenger of God ﷺ about the high price, so the Messenger of God ﷺ delivered a sermon and said: 'Indeed, I will meet God, Blessed and Exalted, before I give anyone anything from another's wealth without his willing consent.'

     ✧ Shall I not guide you to something by which God expiates sins and increases good deeds?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of God.' He said: 'Performing ablution thoroughly in difficult circumstances, taking many steps to the mosques, and waiting for the prayer after the prayer. There is no man among you who leaves his house in a state of purity and prays the congregational prayer with the Muslims, then sits in the mosque waiting for the next prayer, but the angel says: 'O God, forgive him; O God, have mercy on him.' When you stand for prayer, straighten your rows, stand upright, and close the gaps, for I see you from behind my back. When your imam says: 'God is greatest,' say: 'God is greatest.' When he bows, bow, and when he says: 'God hears those who praise Him,' say: 'O God, our Lord, to You be praise.' The best of the rows is the front one, and the worst is the back one; the best of the rows of women is the back one, and the worst is the front one. O assembly of women, when the men prostrate, lower your eyes so that you do not see the private parts of the men, because of the tightness of their waist-wrappers.'

     ✧ A man killed ninety-nine people, then asked about the most knowledgeable person on earth and was directed to a man. He came to him and said: 'He has killed ninety-nine people; is there any repentance for him?' He said: 'After killing ninety-nine, there is no repentance for you.' So he drew his sword and killed him, completing a hundred with him. Then he remained as long as God willed, then asked about the most knowledgeable person on earth and was directed to a man. He said: 'He has killed a hundred people; is there any repentance for him?' He said: 'Who can stand between you and repentance?

     لَيْسَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يُذِلَّ نَفْسَهُ. قِيلَ: وَمَا إِذْلَالُهُ نَفْسَهُ ؟ قَالَ: يَتَعَرَّضُ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ لِمَا لَا يُطِيقُ. قِيلَ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، فَيَزِيدُ الضَّبِّيُّ وَكَلَامُهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ؟ قَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنَ السِّجْنِ حَتَّى نَدِمَ. قَالَ الْمُعَلَّى: فَقُمْتُ مِنْ مَجْلِسِ الْحَسَنِ، فَأَتَيْتُ يَزِيدَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا مَوْدُودٍ، بَيْنَمَا أَنَا وَالْحَسَنُ نَتَذَاكَرُ إِذْ نَصَبْتُ أَمْرَكَ نَصْبًا، فَقَالَ: مَهْ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: قَدْ فَعَلْتُ، قَالَ: فَمَا قَالَ الْحَسَنُ ؟ قُلْتُ: قَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنَ السِّجْنِ حَتَّى نَدِمَ عَلَى مَقَالَتِهِ. قَالَ يَزِيدُ: مَا نَدِمْتُ عَلَى مَقَالَتِي، وَايْمُ اللهِ لَقَدْ قُمْتُ مَقَامًا أُخْطِرُ فِيهِ بِنَفْسِي. قَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَأَتَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، غُلِبْنَا عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، نُغْلَبُ عَلَى صَلَاتِنَا ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، إِنَّكَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ شَيْئًا، إِنَّكَ تُعَرِّضُ نَفْسَكَ لَهُمْ. ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ لِي مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ، قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَالْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ يَخْطُبُ، فَقُلْتُ: رَحِمَكَ اللهُ، الصَّلَاةَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ احْتَوَشَتْنِيَ الرِّجَالُ يَتَعَاوَرُونِي، فَأَخَذُوا بِلِحْيَتِي وَتَلْبِيبَتِي، وَجَعَلُوا يَجِئُونَ بَطْنِي بِنِعَالِ سُيُوفِهِمْ. قَالَ: وَمَضَوْا بِي نَحْوَ الْمَقْصُورَةِ، فَمَا وَصَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَقْتُلُونِي دُونَهُ. قَالَ: فَفُتِحَ لِي بَابُ الْمَقْصُورَةِ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْحَكَمِ وَهُوَ سَاكِتٌ، فَقَالَ: أَمَجْنُونٌ أَنْتَ ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا كُنَّا فِي صَلَاةٍ، فَقُلْتُ: أَصْلَحَ اللهُ الْأَمِيرَ، هَلْ مِنْ كَلَامٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قُلْتُ: أَصْلَحَ اللهُ الْأَمِيرَ. أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا نَشَرَ مُصْحَفًا يَقْرَؤُهُ غُدْوَةً إِلَى اللَّيْلِ، أَكَانَ ذَلِكَ قَاضِيًا عَنْهُ صَلَاتَهُ ؟ قَالَ: وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَحْسَبُكَ مَجْنُونًا، قَالَ: وَأَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ جَالِسٌ تَحْتَ مِنْبَرِهِ سَاكِتٌ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَنَسُ، يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ، أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ، فَقَدْ خَدَمْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَحِبْتَهُ، أَبِمَعْرُوفٍ قُلْتُ أَمْ بِمُنْكَرٍ ؟ أَبِحَقٍّ قُلْتُ أَمْ بِبَاطِلٍ ؟ قَالَ: فَلَا وَاللهِ مَا أَجَابَنِي بِكَلِمَةٍ. قَالَ لَهُ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ: يَا أَنَسُ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ: لَبَّيْكَ، أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ وَقْتُ الصَّلَاةِ قَدْ ذَهَبَ، قَالَ: كَانَ بَقِيَ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ بَقِيَّةٌ، فَقَالَ: احْبِسُوهُ. قَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَأُقْسِمُ لَكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ - يَعْنِي لِلْمُعَلَّى - لَمَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي كَانَ أَشَدَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ مَقَامِي، قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: مُرَاءٍ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: مَجْنُونٌ. قَالَ: وَكَتَبَ الْحَكَمُ إِلَى الْحَجَّاجِ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي ضَبَّةَ قَامَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ: الصَّلَاةَ، وَأَنَا أَخْطُبُ، وَقَدْ شَهِدَ الشُّهُودُ الْعُدُولُ عِنْدِي أَنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ الْحَجَّاجُ: إِنْ كَانَتْ قَامَتِ الشُّهُودُ الْعُدُولُ أَنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ فَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهُ، وَإِلَّا فَاقْطَعْ يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ، وَاسْمُرْ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَاصْلُبْهُ، قَالَ: فَشَهِدُوا عِنْدَ الْحَكَمِ أَنِّي مَجْنُونٌ فَخَلَّى عَنِّي. قَالَ الْمُعَلَّى: عَنْ يَزِيدَ الضَّبِّيِّ: مَاتَ أَخٌ لَنَا فَتَبِعْنَا جِنَازَتَهُ فَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا دُفِنَ تَنَحَّيْتُ فِي عِصَابَةٍ، فَذَكَرْنَا اللهَ وَذَكَرْنَا مَعَادَنَا، فَإِنَّا كَذَلِكَ إِذْ رَأَيْنَا نَوَاصِيَ الْخَيْلِ وَالْحِرَابِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَصْحَابِي قَامُوا وَتَرَكُونِي وَحْدِي، فَجَاءَ الْحَكَمُ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ ؟ قُلْتُ: أَصْلَحَ اللهُ الْأَمِيرَ، مَاتَ صَاحِبٌ لَنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَدُفِنَ، فَقَعَدْنَا نَذْكُرُ رَبَّنَا، وَنَذْكُرُ مَعَادَنَا، وَنَذْكُرُ مَا صَارَ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَفِرَّ كَمَا فَرُّوا ؟ قُلْتُ: أَصْلَحَ اللهُ الْأَمِيرَ، أَنَا أَبْرَأُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ سَاحَةً وَآمَنُ لِلْأَمِيرِ مِنْ أَنْ أَفِرَّ، قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ الْحَكَمُ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ الْمُهَلَّبِ - وَكَانَ عَلَى شُرَطَتِهِ: تَدْرِي مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: الْمُتَكَلِّمُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ الْحَكَمُ، وَقَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَجَرِيءٌ، خُذَاهُ، قَالَ: فَأُخِذْتُ فَضَرَبَنِي أَرْبَعَ مِائَةِ سَوْطٍ، فَمَا دَرَيْتُ حِينَ تَرَكَنِي مِنْ شِدَّةِ مَا ضَرَبَنِي، قَالَ: وَبَعَثَنِي إِلَى وَاسِطٍ، فَكُنْتُ فِي دِيمَاسِ الْحَجَّاجِ حَتَّى مَاتَ الْحَجَّاجُ. إِلَى هُنَا مُسْنَدُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ.

     ✧ It is not for the believer to humiliate himself. It was said: 'And what is his humiliating himself?' He said: 'He exposes himself to trials that he cannot bear.' It was said: 'O Abu Sa'id, what about Yazid al-Dabbi and his speaking in prayer?' He said: 'Indeed, he did not leave prison until he regretted.' Al-Mu'alla said: So I got up from the gathering of al-Hasan and came to Yazid and said: 'O Abu Mawdud, while al-Hasan and I were discussing, I brought up your matter.' He said: 'Wait, O Abu al-Hasan.' He said: I said: 'I have done so.' He said: 'What did al-Hasan say?' I said: 'He said: Indeed, he did not leave prison until he regretted his statement.' Yazid said: 'I did not regret my statement. By Allah, I stood in a position in which I risked my own life.' Yazid said: So I came to al-Hasan and said: 'O Abu Sa'id, we have been overcome in everything; will we be overcome in our prayer?' He said: 'O servant of Allah, you have done nothing; you are exposing yourself to them.' Then I came to him, and he said to me the like of his statement. He said: So I stood on Friday in the mosque while al-Hakam b. Ayyub was giving the khutbah, and I said: 'May Allah have mercy on you, (the) prayer.' He said: When I said that, men surrounded me, passing me from one to another. They took hold of my beard and the collar of my garment, and they began striking my belly with the scabbards of their swords. He said: They took me toward the maqsurah, and I had not reached it when I thought they would kill me before it. He said: The door of the maqsurah was opened for me. He said: I entered and stood before al-Hakam while he was silent. He said: 'Are you insane?' He said: And we were not in prayer. I said: 'May Allah set the amir right, is there any speech better than the Book of Allah?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'May Allah set the amir right. Do you think that if a man opened a mushaf and read it from morning until night, would that suffice him from his prayer?' He said: 'By Allah, I think you are insane.' He said: And Anas b. Malik was sitting under his pulpit, silent. I said: 'O Anas, O Abu Hamzah, I adjure you by Allah, for you served the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and accompanied him. Did I say what is right or what is wrong? Did I say truth or falsehood?' He said: By Allah, he did not answer me with a single word. Al-Hakam b. Ayyub said to him: 'O Anas.' He said: He said: 'At your service, may Allah set you right.' He said: And the time of prayer had passed. He said: A portion of the sun remained. He said: 'Detain him.' Yazid said: I swear to you, O Abu al-Hasan—meaning to al-Mu'alla—what I met from my companions was harder on me than my standing. Some of them said: 'A show-off.' Others said: 'Insane.' He said: Al-Hakam wrote to al-Hajjaj: 'A man from Banu Dabba stood on Friday and said: "(The) prayer," while I was giving the khutbah, and just witnesses have testified before me that he is insane.' Al-Hajjaj wrote to him: 'If the just witnesses have testified that he is insane, then let him go; otherwise, cut off his hands and feet, put out his eyes, and crucify him.' He said: So they testified before al-Hakam that I was insane, and he released me. Al-Mu'alla said: From Yazid al-Dabbi: A brother of ours died, and we followed his funeral and prayed over him. When he was buried, I withdrew with a group, and we remembered Allah and remembered our return. While we were doing that, we saw the forelocks of horses and spears. When my companions saw that, they got up and left me alone. Al-Hakam came and stood over me and said: 'What were you doing?' I said: 'May Allah set the amir right, a companion of ours died, and we prayed over him and he was buried. We sat remembering our Lord and remembering our return and what he has come to.' He said: 'What prevented you from fleeing as they fled?' I said: 'May Allah set the amir right, I am far removed from that and safer for the amir than to flee.' He said: Al-Hakam was silent. Then Abd al-Malik b. al-Muhallab, who was in charge of his police, said: 'Do you know who this is?' He said: 'Who is this?' He said: 'The one who spoke on Friday.' He said: Al-Hakam became angry and said: 'Indeed you are bold. Seize him.' He said: So I was seized, and he beat me with four hundred lashes. I did not know when he left me because of the severity of the beating. He said: He sent me to Wasit, and I was in the dungeon of al-Hajjaj until al-Hajjaj died. Here ends the musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri.
