أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ثنا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ خَرَشَةَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ قَالَ
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا فِي حَلْقَةٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ فِيهَا شَيْخٌ حَسَنُ الْهَيْئَةِ وَهُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ حَدِيثًا حَسَنًا فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ الْقَوْمُ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا قَالَ قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لَأَتْبَعَنَّهُ فَلَأَعْلَمَنَّ بَيْتَهُ قَالَ فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ دَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَ لِي فَقَالَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي؟ قُلْتُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ الْقَوْمَ يَقُولُونَ لَمَّا قُمْتَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا فَأَعْجَبَنِي أَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَسَأُخْبِرُكَ مِمَّا قَالُوا ذَلِكَ إِنِّي بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أَتَانِي رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِجَوَادٍ عَنْ شِمَالِي فَأَخَذْتُ لِآخُذَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ لِي لَا تَأْخُذْ فِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا طُرُقُ أَصْحَابِ الشِّمَالِ قَالَ وَإِذَا جَوَادٌ مَنْهَجٌ عَنْ يَمِينِي قَالَ لِي خُذْ هَاهُنَا فَأَتَى بِي جَبَلًا فَقَالَ لِي اصْعَدْ فَوْقَ هَذَا فَجَعَلْتُ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَصْعَدَ خَرَرْتُ عَلَى اسْتِي حَتَّى فَعَلْتُهُ مِرَارًا ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَى بِي عَمُودًا رَأْسُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَأَسْفَلُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَعْلَاهُ حَلْقَةٌ فَقَالَ لِي اصْعَدْ فَوْقَ هَذَا فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْعَدُ فَوْقَ هَذَا وَرَأْسُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ؟ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَزَحَلَ بِي فَإِذَا أَنَا مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِالْحَلْقَةِ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الْعَمُودَ فَخَرَّ وَبَقِيتُ مُتَعَلِّقًا بِالْحَلْقَةِ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا الطَّرِيقُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ فَهِيَ طَرِيقُ أَصْحَابِ الشِّمَالِ وَأَمَّا الطَّرِيقُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ فَهِيَ طَرِيقُ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ وَالْجَبَلُ هُوَ مَنَازِلُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَلَنْ تَنَالَهُ وَأَمَّا الْعَمُودُ فَهُوَ عَمُودُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَمَّا الْعُرْوَةُ فَهِيَ عُرْوَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَنْ تَزَالَ مُسْتَمْسِكًا بِهَا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ»

✧ "I was sitting in a circle in the mosque of Madinah, in which there was an old man of good appearance, who was Abdullah b. Salam. He narrated to them a good hadith. When he stood up, the people said, 'Whoever would like to look at a man from the people of Paradise, let him look at this man.' I said, 'By Allah, I will follow him and learn his house.' I followed him until he was about to leave Madinah, then entered his house. I asked permission and he allowed me. He said, 'What do you need, O son of my brother?' I said, 'I heard the people say when you stood up, "Whoever would like to look at a man from the people of Paradise, let him look at this man," and I was pleased to be with you.' He said, 'Allah knows best who the people of Paradise are. I will tell you why they said that. While I was sleeping, a man came to me and said, "Get up." He took me by the hand and I went with him. I saw a wide road on my left, and I wanted to take it, but he said, "Do not take it, for it is the path of the people of the left." Then I saw a clear wide road on my right, and he said, "Take this one." He brought me to a mountain and said, "Climb this." When I tried to climb, I fell on my backside; I did that several times. Then he went on until he brought me to a pillar whose top was in the sky and bottom in the earth, and at its top was a ring. He said, "Climb this." I said, "How can I climb it when its top is in the sky?" He took me by the hand and pushed me, and I found myself clinging to the ring. Then he struck the pillar and it fell, and I remained clinging to the ring until morning. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him the dream. He said, "The road you saw on your left is the path of the people of the left; the road on your right is the path of the people of the right; the mountain is the stations of the martyrs, which you will not attain; the pillar is the pillar of Islam; the ring is the firm handhold of Islam, and you will keep holding to it until you die."'"
