أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ حَدَّثَنَا غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِمَّنْ لَقِيَ الْوَفْدَ وَذكَرَ أَبَا نَضْرَةَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
أَنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ لَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا حَيٌّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَبَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نَدْعُو لَهُ مَنْ وَرَاءِنَا مِنْ قَوْمِنَا وَنَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ إِذَا نَحْنُ أَخَذْنَا بِهِ أَوْ عَمِلْنَا فَقَالَ «آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومُوا رَمَضَانَ وَتُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ وَالنَّقِيرِ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا عِلْمُكَ بِالنَّقِيرِ؟ قَالَ «الْجِذْعُ تَنْقُرُونَهُ وَتُلْقُونَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُطَيْعَاءِ أَوِ التَّمْرِ ثُمَّ تَصُبُّونَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ كَيْ يَغْلِيَ فَإِذَا سَكَنَ شَرِبْتُمُوهُ فَعَسَى أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَضْرِبَ ابْنَ عَمِّهِ بِالسَّيْفِ» قَالَ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ بِهِ ضَرْبَةٌ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ كُنْتُ أُخَبِّأَهَا حَيَاءً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالُوا فَفِيمَ تَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَشْرَبَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ «اشْرَبُوا فِي أَسْقِيَةِ الْأَدَمِ الَّتِي تُلَاثُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهَا» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرْضُنَا كَثِيرُ الْجِرْذَانِ لَا يَبْقَى بِهَا أَسْقِيَةُ الْأَدَمِ قَالَ «وَإِنْ أَكَلَهَا الْجِرْذَانُ» مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِأَشَجِّ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ «إِنَّ فِيكَ لَخَصْلَتَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللَّهُ الْحِلْمُ وَالْأَنَاةُ»

✧ The delegation of ʿAbd al-Qays, when they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said: O Messenger of Allah, we are a tribe from Rabīʿah, and between us and you are the disbelievers of Muḍar. We can only reach you during the sacred month, so command us with a matter to which we may call those of our people behind us, and by which we may enter Paradise if we take it up or act upon it. He said: “I command you with four things and forbid you from four: that you worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, that you establish the prayer, give the zakāh, fast Ramaḍān, and give a fifth of the spoils. And I forbid you from four: from al-dubbāʾ, al-ḥantam, al-muzaffat, and al-naqīr.” They said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you know about al-naqīr? He said: “It is the trunk that you hollow out and cast into it small dates or dates, then pour water over them until it ferments; then when it settles you drink it, and it may lead one of you to strike his cousin with the sword.” He said: Among the people was a man who had such a wound. He said: I used to hide it out of shyness from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said: In what do you command us to drink, O Prophet of Allah? He said: “Drink from waterskins of leather whose mouths are tied.” They said: O Messenger of Allah, our land has many rats, and no leather waterskins remain. He said: “Even if the rats eat them,” twice or three times. Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said to Ashajj ʿAbd al-Qays: “You have two qualities that Allah loves: forbearance and deliberateness.”
