حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ ثنا قُرَادٌ أَبُو نُوحٍ أَنْبَأَ يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ
خَرَجَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَشْيَاخٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى الرَّاهِبِ هَبَطُوا فَحَوَّلُوا رِحَالَهُمْ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمُ الرَّاهِبُ وَكَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ يَمُرُّونَ بِهِ فَلَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتُ قَالَ وَهُمْ يَحِلُّونَ رِحَالَهُمْ فَجَعَلَ يَتَخَلَّلُهُمْ حَتَّى جَاءَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ هَذَا سَيِّدُ الْعَالَمِينَ هَذَا رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ هَذَا يَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ رَحْمَةً الْعَالَمِينَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَشْيَاخٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَمَا عِلْمُكَ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ حِينَ شَرَفْتُمْ مِنَ الْعَقَبَةِ لَمْ يَبْقَ شَجَرٌ وَلَا حَجَرٌ إِلَّا خَرَّ سَاجِدًا وَلَا تَسْجُدُ إِلَّا لِنَبِيٍّ وَإِنِّي أَعْرِفُهُ بِخَاتَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ أَسْفَلَ مِنْ غُضْرُوفِ كَتِفِهِ مِثْلِ التُّفَّاحَةِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَصَنَعَ لَهُمْ طَعَامًا ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي رَعِيَّةِ الْإِبِلِ قَالَ أَرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَ وَعَلَيْهِ غَمَامَةٌ تُظِلُّهُ قَالَ انْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ غَمَامَةٌ تُظِلُّهُ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَجَدَهُمْ قَدْ سَبَقُوهُ إِلَى فَيْءِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ مَالَ فَيْءُ الشَّجَرَةِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ انْظُرُوا إِلَى فَيْءِ الشَّجَرَةِ مَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُنَاشِدُهُمْ أَنْ لَا تَذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى الرُّومِ فَإِنَّ الرُّومَ إِنْ رَأَوْهُ عَرَفُوهُ بِالصِّفَةِ فَقَتَلُوهُ فَالْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِسَبْعَةِ نَفَرٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلُوا مِنَ الرُّومِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ فَقَالَ مَا جَاءَ بِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا جِئْنَا فَإِنَّ هَذَا النَّبِيَّ خَارِجٌ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ طَرِيقٌ إِلَّا بُعِثَ إِلَيْهِ نَاسٌ وَإِنَّا بُعِثْنَا إِلَى طَرِيقِهِ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الرَّاهِبُ هَلْ خَلَّفْتُمْ خَلْفَكُمْ أَحَدًا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكُمْ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أُخْبِرْنَا خَبَرَهُ فَبَعَثْنَا إِلَى طَرِيقِكَ هَذَا قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ أَمْرًا أَرَادَهُ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ هَلْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ رَدَّهُ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَبَايِعُوهُ فَبَايَعُوهُ وَأَقَامُوا مَعَهُ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُمُ الرَّاهِبُ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكُمُ اللَّهَ أَيُّكُمْ وَلِيُّهُ؟ قَالَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُنَاشِدُهُ حَتَّى رَدَّهُ وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِلَالًا وَزَوَّدَهُ الرَّاهِبُ مِنَ الْكَعْكِ وَالزَّيْتِ

✧ Abu Talib went out to Syria, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went with him among elders of Quraysh. When they came in sight of the monk, they descended and changed their saddles. The monk came out to them, whereas before that they used to pass by him and he would not come out to them nor pay attention. He was walking among them while they were unloading their saddles, until he came and took the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "This is the master of the worlds; this is the Messenger of the Lord of the worlds; this is one whom Allah will send as a mercy to the worlds." Elders of Quraysh said to him: "What is your knowledge of that?" He said: "When you appeared from the mountain pass, there remained no tree or stone but fell down prostrating, and they prostrate only to a prophet. I recognize him by the seal of prophethood below the cartilage of his shoulder, like an apple." Then he went back and prepared food for them, then came to them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was among the camel herds. He said: "Send for him." He came with a cloud shading him. He said: "Look at him, a cloud shades him." When he drew near the people, he found that they had preceded him to the shade of the tree. When he sat down, the shade of the tree inclined over him. He said: "Look at the shade of the tree, it inclined over him." While he was standing with him, he adjured them not to take him to the Byzantines, for if the Byzantines saw him they would recognize him by description and kill him. Then he turned and saw seven men coming from the Byzantines. He met them and said: "What has brought you?" They said: "We have come because this prophet is emerging in this month, and no road remains but people have been sent to it, and we have been sent to this road of his." The monk said to them: "Have you left behind anyone better than you?" They said: "No. We were only informed of his news, so we were sent to this road of yours." He said: "Do you think that if Allah wills a matter to be decreed, any of the people can repel it?" They said: "No." He said: "Then pledge allegiance to him." They pledged allegiance to him and stayed with him. Then the monk came to them and said: "I adjure you by Allah, which of you is his guardian?" Abu Talib kept adjuring him until he sent him back. Abu Bakr sent Bilal with him, and the monk provisioned him with cakes and oil.
