أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
كُنَّا قُعُودًا حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا فِي نَفَرٍ فَقَامَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْنَا فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيْنَا وَخَشِينَا أَنْ يُقْتَطَعَ دُونَنَا وَفَزِعْنَا فَكُنْتُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ فَزِعَ فَخَرَجْتُ أُتْبِعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَتَيْتَ حَائِطًا لِلْأَنْصَارِ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَدُرْتُ لَهُ هَلْ أَجِدُ لَهُ بَابًا فَإِذَا رَبِيعٌ يَدْخُلُ فِي جَوْفِ الْحَائِطِ مِنْ خَارِجِهِ وَالرَّبِيعُ الْجَدْوَلُ فَاحْتَفَزْتُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ؟ » فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ » قُلْتُ قُمْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا فَأَبْطَأْتَ عَلَيْنَا فَخَشِينَا أَنْ تُقْتَطَعَ دُونَنَا وَفَزِعْنَا وَكُنْتُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ فَزِعَ فَأَتَيْتُ هَذَا الْحَائِطَ فَاحْتَفَزْتُ كَمَا يَحْتَفِزُ الثَّعْلَبُ وَهَؤُلَاءِ النَّاسُ وَرَائِي فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ» وَأَعْطَانِي نَعْلَيْهِ وَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ بِنَعْلَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ فَمَنْ لَقِيتَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُسْتَيْقِنًا بِهَا قَلْبُهُ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ» فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ لَقِيتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا هَاتَانِ النَّعْلَانِ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟ قُلْتُ هَاتَانِ نَعْلَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَنِي بِهِمَا فَمَنْ لَقِيتُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُسْتَيْقِنًا بِهَا قَلْبُهُ بَشَّرْتُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ خَرَرْتُ لِاسْتِي فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَجْهَشْتُ بِالْبُكَاءِ وَأَدْرَكَنِي عُمَرُ عَلَى أَثَرِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ «مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟ » قُلْتُ لَقِيتُ عُمَرَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي بَعَثْتَنِي بِهِ فَضَرَبَنِي بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ ضَرْبَةً خَرَرْتُ لِاسْتِي فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عُمَرُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ؟ » قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي بَعَثْتَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ بِنَعْلَيْكَ مَنْ لَقِيَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُسْتَيْقِنًا بِهَا قَلْبُهُ يُبَشِّرُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَتَّكِلَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا فَخَلِّهِمْ يَعْمَلُونَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَخَلِّهِمْ»

✧ We were sitting around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and with us were Abū Bakr and ʿUmar, ؓ, in a group. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ got up from among us and was slow to return, so we feared he had been taken from us and became alarmed. I was the first to be alarmed, so I went out following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until I came to a garden belonging to the Anṣār, to the Banū al-Najjār. I went around it looking for an entrance and found a stream entering the inside of the garden from its outside—al-rabīʿ means a water channel. I squeezed through and entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: “Abū Hurayrah?” I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: “What brought you?” I said: You got up from among us and were slow to return, so we feared you had been taken from us and became alarmed. I was the first to be alarmed, so I came to this garden and squeezed through as a fox squeezes through, and the people are behind me. He said: “O Abū Hurayrah,” and he gave me his two sandals and said: “Go with these two sandals of mine. Whomever you meet behind this wall who bears witness that there is no god but Allah with certainty in his heart, give him glad tidings of Paradise.” The first person I met was ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, ؓ, and he said: What are these two sandals, O Abū Hurayrah? I said: These are the two sandals of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He sent me with them: whomever I meet behind this wall who bears witness that there is no god but Allah with certainty in his heart, I am to give him glad tidings of Paradise. He said: ʿUmar, ؓ, struck me between my breasts with his hand and I fell on my backside. He said: Go back, O Abū Hurayrah. So I returned to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and burst into tears, and ʿUmar caught up with me on my tracks. The Messenger of Allah said: “What is the matter with you, O Abū Hurayrah?” I said: I met ʿUmar and told him what you sent me with, and he struck me between my breasts such that I fell on my backside, and he said: Go back. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “O ʿUmar, what made you do that?” He said: O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, did you send Abū Hurayrah with your sandals to give glad tidings of Paradise to whomever he meets who bears witness that there is no god but Allah with certainty in his heart? He said: “Yes.” He said: Then do not do it, for I fear that people will rely upon it. Leave them to act. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Then leave them.”
