أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ عَرَابَةَ الْجُهَنِيُّ قَالَ
صَدَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَجَعَلَ نَاسٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا بَالُ شِقِّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ؟ » قَالَ فَلَمْ نَرَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكِيًا قَالَ يَقُولُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ بَعْدَ هَذَا لَسَفِيهٌ فِي نَفْسِي فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا حَلَفَ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إِلَّا سُلِكَ بِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَقَدْ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَتَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذَرَارِيِّكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا مَضَى شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ»

✧ We returned from Makkah with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and people began asking permission of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he began granting them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is the matter that the side of the tree that is next to the Messenger of Allah is more hateful to you than the other side?" He said: We saw none of the people except weeping. Abu Bakr said, "The one who asks your permission after this is a fool in my estimation." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised Allah and extolled Him, and when he swore he would say, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, I bear witness before Allah that there is not one of you who believes in Allah and then remains steadfast except that he will be led into Paradise. My Lord has promised me to admit seventy thousand of my nation into Paradise without reckoning or punishment. I hope they will not enter it until you and the righteous among your wives and descendants have taken up dwellings in Paradise." Then he said, "When half the night or two-thirds of it has passed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven and says: 'I will not ask about My servants other than Me. Who is there who asks Me that I may give him? Who is there who seeks My forgiveness that I may forgive him? Who is there who calls upon Me that I may answer him'—until the dawn breaks."
