أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ الْمَهْرِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُصَبِّحِ الْمَقْرَائِيُّ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ فِي طَائِفَةٍ عَلَيْهَا مَالِكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَثْعَمِيُّ إِذْ مَرَّ مَالِكٌ بِجَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي يَقُودُ بَغْلًا لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَالِكٌ أَيْ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ارْكَبْ فَقَدْ حَمَلَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ أُصْلِحُ دَابَّتِي وَأَسْتَغْنِي عَنْ قَوْمِي وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنِ اغْبَرَّتْ قَدَمَاهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ» فَأَعْجَبَ مَالِكًا قَوْلُهُ فَسَارَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ حَيْثُ يُسْمِعُهُ الصَّوْتَ نَادَاهُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ارْكَبْ فَقَدْ حَمَلَكَ اللَّهُ فَعَرَفَ جَابِرٌ الَّذِي أَرَادَ بِرَفْعِ صَوْتِهِ وَقَالَ أُصْلِحُ دَابَّتِي وَأَسْتَغْنِي عَنْ قَوْمِي وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنِ اغْبَرَّتْ قَدَمَاهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ» فَوَثَبَ النَّاسُ عَنْ دَوَابِّهِمْ فَمَا رَأَيْنَا يَوْمًا أَكْثَرَ مَاشِيًا مِنْهُ

✧ While we were traveling in the land of the Byzantines in a detachment commanded by Malik b. Abd Allah al-Khath‘ami, Malik passed by Jabir b. Abd Allah as he was walking, leading a mule of his. Malik said to him, ‘O Abu Abd Allah, ride, for Allah has given you a mount.’ Jabir said, ‘I am tending my mount and sparing my people, and I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Whoever’s feet become dusty in the cause of Allah, Allah has forbidden him to the Fire.”’ Malik admired his words, and he went on until he reached a place where his voice could be heard, then called out to him at the top of his voice, ‘O Abu Abd Allah, ride, for Allah has given you a mount.’ Jabir understood what he intended by raising his voice, and said, ‘I am tending my mount and sparing my people, and I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Whoever’s feet become dusty in the cause of Allah, Allah has forbidden him to the Fire.”’ Then the people jumped down from their mounts, and we did not see a day with more people walking than that day.
