أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ:
فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَوْ جِئْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا طَوِيلًا فِي قِصَّةِ الْعَرَاجِينِ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ هَاجَتِ السَّمَاءُ مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ بَرَقَتْ بَرْقَةٌ، فَرَأَى قَتَادَةَ بْنَ النُّعْمَانِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا السُّرَى يَا قَتَادَةُ ؟ "، فَقَالَ: عَلِمْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَّ شَاهِدَ الصَّلَاةِ اللَّيْلَةَ قَلِيلٌ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَشْهَدَهَا قَالَ: " فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَاثْبُتْ حَتَّى أَمُرَّ بِكَ "، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَعْطَاهُ الْعُرْجُونَ، فَقَالَ: " خُذْ هَذَا، فَسَيُضِيءُ لَكَ أَمَامَكَ عَشْرًا، وَخَلْفَكَ عَشْرًا، فَإِذَا دَخَلْتَ بَيْتَكَ فَرَأَيْتَ سَوَادًا فِي زَاوِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَاضْرِبْهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَكَلَّمَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ " قَالَ: فَفَعَلَ، فَنَحْنُ نُحِبُّ هَذِهِ الْعَرَاجِينَ لِذَلِكَ

✧ When Abu Hurayrah died, I said: By Allah, if I were to go to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri... So I went to him, and he mentioned a long hadith about the story of the palm stalks. He said: Then the sky stirred that night, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out for the Isha prayer, a lightning flash occurred, and he saw Qatadah b. al-Nu'man, so he said: "What is the night travel, O Qatadah?" He said: I knew, O Messenger of Allah, that those witnessing the prayer tonight would be few, so I wished to attend it. He said: "When you pray, stay put until I pass by you." When he finished, he gave him the palm stalk and said: "Take this, it will light for you ten in front of you and ten behind you. When you enter your house and see a blackness in a corner of the house, strike it before you speak, for it is Satan." He said: He did so, and that is why we love these palm stalks.
