Sahih Ibn Hibban 7207

Translation

✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ in one of his expeditions. One night I went out and did not find the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his place, and his companions were as if birds were on their heads, and the camels had laid down their necks. I looked, and behold, a figure appeared to me, and it was Mu'adh b. Jabal. I said, 'Where is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said, 'Behind me.' Then another figure appeared to me, and it was Abu Musa al-Ash'ari. I said, 'Where is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said, 'Behind me.'

• فَحَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي مُوسَى هَزِيزًا كَهَزِيزِ الرَّحَى فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ حَرَسٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَتَانِي آتٍ فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ مَنْزِلِي فَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ وَأَبُو مُوسَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ أَنَّا تَرَكْنَا أَمْوَالَنَا وَأَهْلِينَا وَذَرَارِيَّنَا نُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَاجْعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «أَنْتُمَا مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ وَقَدْ ثَارُوا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أَمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ «أَنْصِتُوا» فَنَصَتُوا حَتَّى كَأَنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هِيَ لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا»
