أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ فَهْدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمِصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ يَعْنِي الرَّبِيعَ بْنَ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ:
إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَ يَحْيَى بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ يَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ، وَيَأْمُرُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ قَالَ: فَكَانَ يُبْطِئُ بِهِنَّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسَى: إِنَّكَ أُمِرْتَ بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ تَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ، وَتَأْمُرُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ، فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَأْمُرَهُمْ بِهِنَّ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ أَقُومَ فَآمُرَهُمْ بِهِنَّ. قَالَ يَحْيَى: إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَسْبِقْنِي بِهِنَّ أَخَافُ أَنْ أُعَذَّبَ أَوْ يُخْسَفَ بِي، فَجَمَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ حَتَّى امْتَلَأَ الْمَسْجِدُ، حَتَّى جَلَسَ النَّاسُ عَلَى الشُّرُفَاتِ، فَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَنِي بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ، وَآمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ، أُولَاهُنَّ: أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللهِ شَيْئًا؛ فَإِنَّ مَنْ أَشْرَكَ بِاللهِ مَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى عَبْدًا مِنْ خَالِصِ مَالِهِ بِذَهَبٍ أَوْ وَرِقٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: هَذِهِ دَارِي وَعَمَلِي، فَاعْمَلْ لِي وَأَدِّ إِلَيَّ عَمَلَكَ، فَجَعَلَ يَعْمَلُ وَيُؤَدِّي عَمَلَهُ إِلَى [ غَيْرِ ] سَيِّدِهِ، فَأَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ عَبْدٌ كَذَلِكَ، يُؤَدِّي عَمَلَهُ لِغَيْرِ سَيِّدِهِ، وَأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ خَلَقَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُمْ فَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللهِ شَيْئًا، وَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَكُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ، فَإِذَا نَصَبْتُمْ وُجُوهَكُمْ فَلَا تَلْتَفِتُوا؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَنْصِبُ وَجْهَهُ لِوَجْهِ عَبْدِهِ حِينَ يُصَلِّي لَهُ، فَلَا يَصْرِفُ عَنْهُ وَجْهَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْعَبْدُ هُوَ يَنْصَرِفُ

✧ Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commanded Yaḥyā b. Zakariyyā with five statements to act upon and to command the Children of Israel to act upon. He said: He was slow in acting upon them, so ʿĪsā said to him: “You were commanded with five statements to act upon and to command the Children of Israel to act upon. Either you command them or I will stand and command them.” Yaḥyā said: “If you precede me in them, I fear that I will be punished or the earth will swallow me.” So he gathered the Children of Israel in Jerusalem until the mosque was filled, to the point that people sat on the balconies. He admonished the people, then said: “Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commanded me with five statements to act upon and to command you to act upon. The first of them: that you do not associate anything with Allah. The likeness of one who associates partners with Allah is like a man who buys a slave with his own pure wealth, of gold or silver, then says to him: ‘This is my house and my work, so work for me and deliver to me your labor.’ But the slave works and delivers his labor to someone other than his master. Which of you would like to have a slave like that, who delivers his labor to someone other than his master? Allah is the one who created you and provided for you, so do not associate anything with Allah. And he said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commanded you with prayer. When you set your faces (toward the qiblah), do not turn away, for Allah sets His face toward the face of His servant when he prays to Him, and He does not turn His face away from him until the servant himself turns away.”
