حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْجَنْبِيِّ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ مَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي فِي أَنْ أَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْكَ عَلَى طِيبَةِ نَفْسٍ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَاقْتَرَبَ مُعَاذٌ إِلَيْهِ فَسَارَا جَمِيعًا فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ يَوْمَنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِكَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ وَلَا نَرَى شَيْئًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَأَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ نَعْمَلَهَا بَعْدَكَ؟ فَصَمَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نِعْمَ الشَّيْءُ الْجِهَادُ وَالَّذِي بِالنَّاسِ أَمْلَكُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَالصِّيَامُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ» قَالَ «نِعْمَ الشَّيْءُ الصِّيَامُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ» فَذَكَرَ مُعَاذٌ كُلَّ خَيْرٍ يَعْمَلُهُ ابْنُ آدَمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَعَادِ بِالنَّاسِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ» قَالَ فَمَاذَا بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي عَادِ بِالنَّاسِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ فَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى فِيهِ قَالَ «الصَّمْتُ إِلَّا مِنْ خَيْرٍ» قَالَ وَهَلْ نُؤَاخَذُ بِمَا تَكَلَّمَتْ بِهِ أَلْسِنَتُنَا؟ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخِذَ مُعَاذٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَهَلْ يُكَبَّ النَّاسِ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ إِلَّا مَا نَطَقَتْ بِهِ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ عَنْ شَرٍّ قُولُوا خَيْرًا تَغْنَمُوا وَاسْكُتُوا عَنْ شَرٍّ تَسْلَمُوا»

✧ From ʿAmr b. Mālik al-Janbī, from Faḍālah b. ʿUbayd, from ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day upon his riding camel, with his companions before him. Muʿādh b. Jabal said, 'O Prophet of Allah, do you permit me to come up to you with a cheerful soul?' He said, 'Yes.' So Muʿādh drew near to him, and they rode together. Muʿādh said, 'May my father be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah! If only our day could be before your day—tell me, if something happens, and we see nothing, God willing—what deeds should we perform after you?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell silent, then said, 'Jihad in the path of Allah.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What an excellent thing jihad is, but there is something people have more control over than that: fasting and charity.' He said, 'What an excellent thing fasting and charity are.' Then Muʿādh mentioned every good deed that a son of Adam performs, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Returning good to people is better than that.' He said, 'What then, may my father and mother be your ransom—returning good to people is better than that?' He said, 'Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed to his mouth and said, 'Silence except from good.'' He said, 'Will we be held accountable for what our tongues utter?' He said, 'Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ struck Muʿādh's thigh and said, 'O Muʿādh, may your mother be bereaved of you—or whatever Allah willed to say to him of that—will people be thrown on their faces into Hell for anything other than what their tongues have uttered? So whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent about evil. Speak good and you will gain; remain silent from evil and you will be safe.'
