حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا سَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى تَبُوكَ جَعَلَ لَا يَزَالُ يَتَخَلَّفُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَخَلَّفَ فُلَانٌ فَيَقُولُ «دَعُوهُ إِنْ يَكُ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ فَسَيُلْحِقُهُ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ وَإِنْ يَكُ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَرَاحَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ» حَتَّى قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَخَلَّفَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَأَبْطَأَ بِهِ بَعِيرُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «دَعُوهُ إِنْ يَكُ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ فَسَيُلْحِقُهُ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ وَإِنْ يَكُ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَرَاحَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ» فَتَلَوَّمَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ أَخَذَ مَتَاعَهُ فَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَخَرَجَ يَتْبَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَاشِيًا وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ مَنَازِلِهِ وَنَظَرَ نَاظِرٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُنْ أَبَا ذَرٍّ» فَلَمَّا تَأَمَّلَهُ الْقَوْمُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هُوَ وَاللَّهِ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَحِمَ اللَّهُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَمْشِي وَحْدَهُ وَيَمُوتُ وَحْدَهُ وَيُبْعَثُ وَحْدَهُ» فَضَرَبَ الدَّهْرُ مِنْ ضَرْبَتِهِ وَسُيِّرَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ أَوْصَى امْرَأَتَهُ وَغُلَامَهُ إِذَا مُتُّ فَاغْسِلَانِي وَكَفِّنَانِي ثُمَّ احْمَلَانِي فَضَعَانِي عَلَى قَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ فَأَوَّلُ رَكْبٍ يَمُرُّونَ بِكُمْ فَقُولُوا هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ فَعَلُوا بِهِ كَذَلِكَ فَاطَّلَعَ رَكْبٌ فَمَا عَلِمُوا بِهِ حَتَّى كَادَتْ رَكَائِبُهُمْ تَطَأُ سَرِيرَهُ فَإِذَا ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَالُوا مَا هَذَا؟ فَقِيلَ جِنَازَةُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَاسْتَهَلَّ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَبْكِي فَقَالَ صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَمْشِي وَحْدَهُ وَيَمُوتُ وَحْدَهُ وَيُبْعَثُ وَحْدَهُ» فَنَزَلَ فَوَلِيَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ حَتَّى أَجَنَّهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ ذُكِرَ لِعُثْمَانَ قَوْلُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمَا وَلِيَ مِنْهُ

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ marched to Tabuk, a man would continually lag behind, and they would say, “O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so has lagged behind.” He would say, “Leave him. If there is good in him, Allah will cause him to catch up with you, and if it is otherwise, Allah has relieved you of him.” Until it was said, “O Messenger of Allah, Abu Dharr has lagged behind, and his camel delayed him.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Leave him. If there is good in him, Allah will cause him to catch up with you, and if it is otherwise, Allah has relieved you of him.” Abu Dharr waited for his camel, but it delayed him. When it delayed him, he took his belongings and placed them on his back, and set out following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on foot. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dismounted at one of his halting places, and a Muslim lookout saw him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, this is a man walking on the road.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Be Abu Dharr.” When the people examined him, they said, “O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, it is Abu Dharr.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “May Allah have mercy on Abu Dharr. He walks alone, dies alone, and will be resurrected alone.” Then time passed, and Abu Dharr was sent to al-Rabadha. When death approached him, he instructed his wife and his servant, “When I die, wash me and shroud me, then carry me and place me on the main road. The first riders who pass by you, say, 'This is Abu Dharr.'” When he died, they did that with him. A group of riders appeared and did not know of him until their mounts nearly trampled his bier. There was Ibn Mas'ud among a group of people from Kufa. They said, “What is this?” It was said, “The funeral of Abu Dharr.” Ibn Mas'ud burst into tears and said, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke the truth: 'May Allah have mercy on Abu Dharr. He walks alone, dies alone, and will be resurrected alone.'” So he dismounted and took charge of him personally until he buried him. When they arrived in Madinah, the words of 'Abdullah and what he had undertaken were mentioned to 'Uthman.
