حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جَابِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ
سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيَّ يَقُولُ نَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلًا فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا لَا أَرَى فِي الْعَسْكَرِ شَيْئًا أَطْوَلَ مِنْ مُؤْخِرَةِ رَحْلِي لَقَدْ لَصَقَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ وَبَعِيرُهُ بِالْأَرْضِ فَقُمْتُ أَتَخَلَّلُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى دَفَعْتُ إِلَى مَضْجَعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بَارِدٌ فَخَرَجْتُ أَتَخَلَّلُ النَّاسَ أَقُولُ {إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ} [البقرة 156] ذُهِبَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْعَسْكَرِ كُلِّهِ فَنَظَرْتُ سَوَادًا فَرَمَيْتُ بِحَجَرٍ فَمَضَيْتُ إِلَى السَّوَادِ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَإِذَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا صَوْتٌ كَدَوِيِّ الرَّحَا أَوْ كَصَوْتِ الْهَصْبَاءِ حِينَ يُصِيبُهَا الرِّيحُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ يَا قَوْمِ اثْبُتُوا حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا أَوْ يَأْتِيَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَلَبِثْنَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ نَادَى «أَثَمَّ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَعَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ؟» فَقُلْنَا أَيْ نَعَمْ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَخَرَجْنَا نَمْشِي مَعَهُ لَا نَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَلَا نُخْبِرُهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَقَعَدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَقَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا خَيَّرَنِي بِهِ رَبِّي اللَّيْلَةَ؟» فَقُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّهُ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ نِصْفَ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ «هِيَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ»

✧ I heard 'Awf b. Malik al-Ashja'i say: We camped with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at a place. I woke up during the night and saw nothing in the army taller than the back of my saddle; every person and his camel had stuck to the ground. I got up and walked among the people until I reached the resting place of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but he was not there. I placed my hand on the bed and found it cold. I went out among the people saying: {Indeed we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return} [Al-Baqarah 156], "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has been taken away!" until I left the entire army. Then I saw a black shape and threw a stone at it. I went toward the black shape, and there were Mu'adh b. Jabal and Abu 'Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah, and before us was a sound like the rumble of a mill or like the sound of pebbles when the wind hits them. Some of us said to others: "O people, stay put until morning or until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ comes to you." He said: We waited as long as Allah willed, then he called out: "Are Mu'adh b. Jabal, Abu 'Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah, and 'Awf b. Malik there?" We said: "Yes." He came toward us, and we went out walking with him, not asking him about anything nor telling him anything. He sat on his bed and said: "Do you know what my Lord has offered me tonight?" We said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "He offered me a choice between admitting half of my community to Paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make us among its people." He said: "It is for every Muslim."
