أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بِبَيْرُوتَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الدَّارِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرُ بْنُ يَعْمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي زَيْدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لُحَيٍّ الْهَوْزَنِيُّ قَالَ لَقِيتُ بِلَالًا مُؤَذِّنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا بِلَالُ أَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ كَانَتْ نَفَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ مَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَكُنْتُ أَنَا الَّذِي أَلِي ذَلِكَ مُنْذُ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ ﷺ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الْإِنْسَانُ الْمُسْلِمُ فَرَآهُ عَارِيًا يَأْمُرُنِي فَأَنْطَلِقُ فَأَسْتَقْرِضُ فَأَشْتَرِي الْبُرْدَةَ أَوِ النَّمِرَةَ فَأَكْسُوهُ وَأُطْعِمُهُ حَتَّى اعْتَرَضَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ يَا بِلَالُ إِنَّ عِنْدِي سَعَةً فَلَا تَسْتَقْرِضْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا مِنِّي فَفَعَلْتُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ تَوَضَّأْتُ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ أُؤَذِّنُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا الْمُشْرِكُ فِي عِصَابَةٍ مِنَ التُّجَّارِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ يَا حَبَشِيُّ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا لَبَّيَهُ فَتَجَهَّمَنِي وَقَالَ لِي قَوْلًا غَلِيظًا وَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي كَمْ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّهْرِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ قَرِيبٌ قَالَ لِي إِنَّمَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ أَرْبَعٌ فَآخُذُكَ بِالَّذِي عَلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِكَ الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُكَ مِنْ كَرَامَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَلَا كَرَامَةِ صَاحِبِكَ وَلَكِنِّي إِنَّمَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ لِتَجِبَ لِي عَبْدًا فَأَرُدُّكَ تَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ كَمَا كُنْتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَخَذَ فِي نَفْسِي مَا يَأْخُذُ النَّاسُ فَانْطَلَقْتُ ثُمَّ أَذَّنْتُ بِالصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْعَتَمَةَ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَ لِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ إِنَّ الْمُشْرِكَ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتُ لَكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَتَدَيَّنُ مِنْهُ قَالَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ مَا تَقْضِي عَنِّي وَلَا عِنْدِي وَهُوَ فَاضِحِي فَأْذَنْ لِي أَنُوءُ إِلَى بَعْضِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَحْيَاءِ الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا حَتَّى يَرْزُقَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ مَا يَقْضِي عَنِّي فَقَالَ ﷺ
«إِذَا شِئْتَ اعْتَمَدْتَ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى آتِيَ مَنْزِلِي فَجَعَلْتُ سَيْفِي وَجُعْبَتِي وَمِجَنِّي وَنَعْلِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَاسْتَقْبَلْتُ بِوَجْهِي الْأُفُقَ فَكُلَّمَا نِمْتُ سَاعَةً اسْتَنْبَهْتُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ عَلَيَّ لَيْلًا نِمْتُ حَتَّى أَسْفَرَ الصُّبْحُ الْأَوَّلُ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنْطَلِقَ فَإِذَا إِنْسَانٌ يَسْعَى يَدْعُو يَا بِلَالُ أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ فَإِذَا أَرْبَعُ رَكَائِبَ مُنَاخَاتٌ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَحْمَالُهُنَّ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَبْشِرْ فَقَدْ جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِقَضَائِكَ» فَحَمِدْتُ اللَّهَ وَقَالَ «أَلَمْ تَمَرَّ عَلَى الرَّكَائِبِ الْمُنَاخَاتِ الْأَرْبَعِ؟ » فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ «إِنَّ لَكَ رِقَابَهُنَّ وَمَا عَلَيْهِنَّ كِسْوَةٌ وَطَعَامٌ أَهْدَاهُنَّ إِلَيَّ عَظِيمُ فَدَكَ فَاقْبِضْهُنَّ ثُمَّ اقْضِ دَيْنَكَ» قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَحَطَطْتُ عَنْهُنَّ أَحْمَالَهُنَّ ثُمَّ عَقَلْتُهُنَّ ثُمَّ عَمَدْتُ إِلَى تَأْذِينِ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجْتُ لِلْبَقِيعِ فَجَعَلْتُ أُصْبُعَيَّ فِي أُذُنِي فَنَادَيْتُ مَنْ كَانَ يَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَيْنًا فَلْيَحْضُرْ فَمَازِلْتُ أَبِيعُ وَأَقْضِي وَأَعْرِضُ فَأَقْضِي حَتَّى إِذَا فَضَلَ فِي يَدَيَّ أُوقِيَّتَانِ أَوْ أُوقِيَّةٌ وَنِصْفٌ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ عَامَّةُ النَّهَارِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَحْدَهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «مَا فَعَلَ مَا قِبَلَكَ؟ » فَقُلْتُ قَدْ قَضَى اللَّهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَفَضَلَ شَيْءٌ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «انْظُرْ أَنْ تُرِيحَنِي مِنْهَا» فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَتَمَةَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ «مَا فَعَلَ مِمَّا قِبَلَكَ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ هُوَ مَعِي لَمْ يَأْتِنَا أَحَدٌ فَبَاتَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ فَظَلَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِي حَتَّى كَانَ فِي آخِرِ النَّهَارِ جَاءَ رَاكِبَانِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِمَا فَكَسَوْتُهُمَا وَأَطْعَمْتُهُمَا حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَتَمَةَ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ ﷺ «مَا فَعَلَ الَّذِي قِبَلَكَ؟ » فَقُلْتُ قَدْ أَرَاحَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَبَّرَ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ شَفَقًا أَنْ يُدْرِكَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَعِنْدَهُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ اتَّبَعْتُهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ أَزْوَاجَهُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ امْرَأَةٍ حَتَّى أَتَى مَبِيتَهُ فَهَذَا الَّذِي سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْهُ

✧ “If you wish, you may rely on that.” He said, “So I went out until I came to my home, and I placed my sword, my quiver, my shield, and my sandals at my head, and I faced the horizon. Whenever I slept for a while, I woke up; when I saw that night was upon me, I slept until the first light of dawn. I wanted to set out when suddenly a man came running, calling, ‘O Bilāl, answer the Messenger of Allah ﷺ!’ So I went until I came to him, and there were four riding camels, kneeling, with their loads on them. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, ‘Rejoice, for Allah has brought the means to pay your debt.’ I praised Allah. He said, ‘Did you not pass by the four kneeling camels?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘You have their necks and what is on them: clothing and food. The ruler of Fadak sent them as a gift to me. Take them and pay your debt.’” He said, “So I did. I unloaded their burdens, hobbled them, then went to give the call for the dawn prayer. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had prayed, I went out to al-Baqī‘, put my fingers in my ears, and called out: ‘Whoever is owed a debt by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, let him come.’ I kept selling and paying, and offering and paying, until there remained in my hand two ūqiyyahs or an ūqiyyah and a half. I went to the mosque, and most of the day had passed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting alone in the mosque. I greeted him, and he said, ‘What happened with what you had?’ I said, ‘Allah has paid everything that was owed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; nothing remains.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Is there anything left over?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘See that you relieve me of it.’ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the night prayer, he called me and said, ‘What happened with what you had?’ I said, ‘It is with me; no one has come to me.’ He spent the night in the mosque until morning, and remained in the mosque the second day. At the end of the day, two riders came. I went with them, clothed them and fed them. When he prayed the night prayer, he called me and said ﷺ, ‘What happened with what you had?’ I said, ‘Allah has relieved you of it, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said takbīr and praised Allah, fearing that death would overtake him while he still had it. Then I followed him until he came to his wives, greeting each one, until he reached his sleeping place. This is what you asked me about.”
