أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا غَالِبُ بْنُ وَزِيرٍ الْغَزِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَعْمَشُ عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«تَعَبَّدَ عَابِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَعَبَدَ اللَّهَ فِي صَوْمَعَتِهِ سِتِّينَ عَامًا فَأَمْطَرَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَاخْضَرَّتْ فَأَشْرَفَ الرَّاهِبُ مِنْ صَوْمَعَتِهِ فقَالَ لَوْ نَزَلْتُ فَذَكَرْتُ اللَّهَ لَازْدَدْتُ خَيْرًا فَنَزَلَ وَمَعَهُ رَغِيفٌ أَوْ رَغِيفَانِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ فِي الْأَرْضِ لَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُكَلِّمُهَا وَتُكَلِّمُهُ حَتَّى غَشِيَهَا ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَزَلَ الْغَدِيرَ يَسْتَحِمُّ فَجَاءَهُ سَائِلٌ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الرَّغِيفَيْنِ أَوِ الرَّغِيفَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَوُزِنَتْ عِبَادَةُ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً بِتِلْكَ الزَّنْيَةِ فَرَجَحَتِ الزَّنْيَةُ بِحَسَنَاتِهِ ثُمَّ وُضِعَ الرَّغِيفُ أَوِ الرَّغِيفَانِ مَعَ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَرَجَحَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ فَغُفِرَ لَهُ»

✧ A worshipper from the Children of Israel devoted himself to worship and worshipped Allah in his hermitage for sixty years. Then the land was rained upon and became green, and the monk looked out from his hermitage and said: If I were to go down and remember Allah, I would increase in good. So he went down, and with him was a loaf or two loaves. While he was on the land, a woman met him, and he kept talking to her and she kept talking to him until he had intercourse with her. Then he fainted, so he went down to the pool to bathe. A beggar came to him, and he gestured to him to take the two loaves or the loaf. Then he died. The worship of sixty years was weighed against that fornication, and the fornication outweighed his good deeds. Then the loaf or the two loaves were placed with his good deeds, and his good deeds outweighed, so he was forgiven.
