حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، ثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ، قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ: وَحَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، بِبَعْضِهِ وَقَتَادَةُ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَالضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مُزَاحِمٍ، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ، وَالْعَرْزَمِيُّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:

الشُّهَدَاءُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا لَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ وَلَا يُقْتَلَ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ كُلُّهَا، وَنَجَا مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَمِنَ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَرِ، وَزُوِّجَ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ، وَيُحَلُّ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةُ الْكَرَامَةِ، وَيُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجُ الْخُلْدِ. وَالثَّانِي: خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ مُحْتَسِبًا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ وَلَا يُقْتَلَ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ كَانَتْ رُكْبَتُهُ بِرُكْبَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِ الرَّحْمَنِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللهِ، فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ. وَالثَّالِثُ: رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ مُحْتَسِبًا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ وَيُقْتَلَ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَاهِرًا سَيْفَهُ، وَاضِعَهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ، وَالنَّاسُ جَاثُونَ عَلَى الرُّكَبِ، يَقُولُ: افْرِجُوا لَنَا، فَإِنَّا قَدْ بَذَلْنَا دِمَاءَنَا لِلهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَوْ لِنَبِيٍّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَنَحَّى لَهُ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ لِمَا يَرَى مِنْ حَقِّهِ فَلَا يَسْأَلُ اللهَ تَعَالَى شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ وَلَا يَشْفَعُ فِي أَحَدٍ إِلَّا شُفِّعَ فِيهِ، وَيُعْطَى فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَا أَحَبَّ وَلَا يَفْضُلُهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلُ نَبِيٍّ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ، وَلَهُ فِي جَنَّةِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَأَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَدِينَةِ لُؤْلُؤٍ، وَأَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ يَاقُوتٍ، وَأَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ دُرٍّ، وَأَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ زَبَرْجَدٍ، وَأَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ نُورٍ، فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ مِنَ الْمَدَائِنِ، أَلْفُ أَلْفِ قَصْرٍ، فِي كُلِّ قَصْرٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ بَيْتٍ، فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ سَرِيرٍ، كُلُّ سَرِيرٍ طُولُهُ مَسِيرَةُ أَلْفِ عَامٍ، وَعَرْضُهُ مَسِيرَةُ أَلْفِ عَامٍ، وَطُولُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ، عَلَيْهِ زَوْجَةٌ قَدْ بَرَزَ كُمُّهَا مِنْ جَانِبَيِ السَّرِيرِ عِشْرِينَ مِيلًا مِنْ كُلِّ زَاوِيَةٍ، هِيَ أَرْبَعُ زَوَايَا وَأَشْفَارُ عَيْنِهَا كَجَنَاحِ النُّسُورِ أَوْ كَقَوَادِمِ النُّسُورِ، وَحَاجِبَاهَا كَالْهِلَالِ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابٌ تَنْبُتُ فِي جِنَانِ عَدْنٍ، سُقْيَاهَا مِنْ تَسْنِيمٍ، وَزَهْرُهَا يَخْطَفُ الْأَبْصَارَ دُونَهَا، لَوْ بَرَزَتْ لِأَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَرَهَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ، وَلَا مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ إِلَّا فُتِنَ بِحُسْنِهَا، بَيْنَ يَدَيْ كُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ جَارِيَةٍ بِكْرٍ خَدَمٍ سِوَى خَدَمِ زَوْجِهَا، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْ كُلِّ سَرِيرٍ كَرَاسِيُّ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَوْهَرِ السَّرِيرِ، كُلُّ سَرِيرٍ طُولُهُ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ ذِرَاعٍ، عَلَى كُلِّ سَرِيرٍ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ فِرَاشٍ، غِلَظُ كُلِّ فِرَاشٍ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ، يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِخَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ، يَفْتَضُّونَ الْعَذَارَى وَإِذَا دَنَا مِنَ السَّرِيرِ تَطَامَنَتْ لَهُ الْفُرُشُ حَتَّى يَرْكَبَهَا مُتَفَرَّجًا حَيْثُ شَاءَ، فَيَتَّكِئُ تَكْأَةً مَعَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، فَتُنَادِيهِ أَبْهَى مِنْهَا وَأَجْمَلُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، أَمَا لَنَا مِنْكَ دَوْلَةٌ ؟ فَيَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْهَا فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ أَنْتِ ؟ فَتَقُولُ: أَنَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ، ثُمَّ تُنَادِيهِ أَبْهَى وَأَجْمَلُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، مَا لَكَ فِينَا مِنْ حَاجَةٍ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: مَا عَلِمْتُ مَكَانَكِ، فَتَقُولُ: أَوَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ: فَلا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ، فَيَقُولُ: بَلَى وَرَبِّي، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَلَعَلَّهُ يَشْتَغِلُ عَنْهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَامًا، لَا يَشْغَلُهُ إِلَّا مَا هُوَ فِيهِ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ وَاللَّذَّةِ، فَإِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ رَكِبَ شُهَدَاءُ الْبَحْرِ قَرَاقِرَ مِنْ دُرٍّ فِي نَهَرٍ مِنْ نُورٍ، مَجَادِيفُهُمْ قُضْبَانُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ وَالْمَرْجَانِ وَالْيَاقُوتِ، مَعَهُمْ رِيحٌ تُسَمَّى الزَّهْرَاءَ فِي أَمْوَاجٍ كَالْجِبَالِ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ نُورٌ يَتَلَأْلَأُ، تِلْكَ الْأَمْوَاجُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ أَهْوَنُ وَأَحْلَى عِنْدَهُمْ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ الْبَارِدِ فِي الزُّجَاجَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْيَوْمِ الصَّائِفِ. وَأَيَّامُهُمُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا فِي نَحْرِ أَصْحَابِهِمُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا، تُقَدَّمُ قَرَاقِرُهُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَصْحَابِهِمْ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ، وَخَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ، وَمَيْمَنَتُهُمْ خَلْفَهُمْ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ قُرْبِ أُولَئِكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِمْ، وَمَيْسَرَتُهُمْ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، وَسَاقَتُهُمُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا خَلْفَهُمْ فِي تِلْكَ الْقَرَاقِرِ مِنْ دُرٍّ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ يَسِيرُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ النَّهَرِ إِذْ رَفَعَتْهُمْ تِلْكَ الْأَمْوَاجُ إِلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ عَرْشِ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، يُضَعَّفُونَ عَلَى خَدَمِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حُسْنًا وَبَهَاءً وَجَمَالًا وَنُورًا، كَمَا يُضَعَّفُونَ هُمْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ بِمَنَازِلِهِمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ، فَيَهِمُّ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَخِرَّ لِبَعْضِ خُدَّامِهِمْ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ سَاجِدًا، فَيَقُولُ: يَا وَلِيَّ اللهِ، أَنَا خَادِمٌ لَكَ وَنَحْنُ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ قَهْرَمَانَ فِي جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ، وَمِائَةُ أَلْفِ قَهْرَمَانَ فِي جَنَّاتِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ، وَمِائَةُ أَلْفِ قَهْرَمَانَ فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ، وَمِائَةُ أَلْفِ قَهْرَمَانَ فِي فِي جَنَّاتِ الْمَأْوَى، وَمِائَةُ أَلْفِ قَهْرَمَانَ فِي جَنَّاتِ الْخُلْدِ، وَمِائَةُ أَلْفِ قَهْرَمَانَ فِي جِنَانِ الْحَلَالِ، وَمِائَةُ أَلْفِ قَهْرَمَانَ فِي جِنَانِ السَّلَامِ، كُلُّ قَهْرَمَانَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى بَابِ مَدِينَةٍ، فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ قَصْرٍ، فِي كُلِّ قَصْرٍ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ وَدُرٍّ وَيَاقُوتٍ وَزَبَرْجَدٍ وَلُؤْلُؤٍ وَنُورٍ، فِيهَا أَزْوَاجُهُ وَسُرُرُهُ وَخُدَّامُهُ، لَوْ أَنَّ أَدْنَاهُمْ نَزَلَ بِهِ الْجِنُّ وَالْإِنْسُ، وَمِثْلُهُمْ مَعَهُمْ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ مَرَّةٍ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ أَدْنَى قَصْرٍ مِنْ قُصُورِهِ، مَا شَاءُوا مِنَ النُّزُلِ وَالْخَدَمِ وَالْفَاكِهَةِ وَالثِّمَارِ وَالطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ، كُلُّ قَصْرٍ مُسْتَغْنٍ بِمَا فِيهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَشْيَاءِ عَلَى قَدْرِ سَعَتِهِمْ جَمِيعًا، لَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى الْقَصْرِ الْآخَرِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، وَإِنَّ أَدْنَاهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ عَلَى اللهِ بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا، فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْكَرَامَةِ كُلِّهَا، لَمْ يَشْتَغِلْ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ الْجَمِيلِ، تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى

✧ The martyrs are three: A man who goes out with his own self and his wealth, patient and seeking reward, not wanting to kill or be killed. If he dies or is killed, all his sins will be forgiven, and he will be saved from the punishment of the grave, and he will be secure from the greatest terror, and he will be married to the houris with wide lovely eyes, and the garment of honor will be placed upon him, and the crown of eternity will be placed upon his head. The second: He goes out with his own self and his wealth, seeking reward, wanting to kill but not be killed. If he dies or is killed, his knee will be with the knee of Abraham, the close friend of the Most Merciful, before Allah, in a seat of truth. The third: A man who goes out with his own self and his wealth, seeking reward, wanting to kill and be killed. If he dies or is killed, he will come on the Day of Resurrection brandishing his sword, placing it on his shoulder, while the people are kneeling on their knees, saying: 'Make way for us, for we have offered our blood for Allah, Mighty and Majestic.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, if he said that to Abraham or to any prophet among the prophets, he would move aside for him from the path because of the right he sees. He will not ask Allah Almighty for anything except that He gives it to him, and he will not intercede for anyone except that his intercession is accepted, and he will be given in Paradise whatever he loves, and no prophet or anyone else will surpass him in station in Paradise. He will have in the Garden of Firdaws a thousand thousand cities of silver, a thousand thousand cities of gold, a thousand thousand cities of pearl, a thousand thousand cities of ruby, a thousand thousand cities of large pearls, a thousand thousand cities of chrysolite, and a thousand thousand cities of light. In each city among the cities are a thousand thousand palaces, in each palace a thousand thousand houses, in each house a thousand thousand couches. Each couch is a thousand years' journey in length and a thousand years' journey in width, and its height in the sky is five hundred years' journey. Upon it is a wife whose sleeve protrudes from the sides of the couch twenty miles from each corner; it has four corners. The lashes of her eyes are like the wings of eagles or like the primary feathers of eagles, and her eyebrows are like the crescent moon. Upon her are garments that grow in the gardens of Eden, watered from Tasnim, and their blossoms dazzle the eyes besides her. If she appeared to the people of this world, no sent prophet and no angel brought near would see her without being tempted by her beauty. Before each woman among them are a hundred thousand virgin female servants, besides the servants of her husband. Before each couch are chairs made of a substance other than the substance of the couch, each couch a hundred thousand cubits long. On each couch are a hundred thousand mattresses, the thickness of each mattress is as between heaven and earth, and between them is a distance of five hundred years' journey. They will enter Paradise five hundred years before the truthful and the believers. They will deflower the virgins. When he draws near to the couch, the mattresses will lower themselves for him until he mounts it, reclining wherever he wishes. He will recline with the houris with wide lovely eyes for seventy years, and one more splendid and more beautiful than her will call to him: 'O servant of Allah, is there not for us a turn with you?' He will turn to her and say: 'Who are you?' She will say: 'I am of those about whom Allah Almighty said: "And with Us is more." Then one even more splendid and more beautiful will call to him: 'O servant of Allah, do you have no need of us?' He will say: 'I did not know your place.' She will say: 'Did you not know that Allah Almighty said: "No soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes"?' He will say: 'Yes, by my Lord.'" He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Perhaps he will be occupied with her after that for a year, occupied only with the bliss and pleasure he is in. When the people of Paradise enter, the martyrs of the sea will ride boats of pearls on a river of light. Their oars are rods of pearl, coral, and ruby. With them is a wind called al-Zahra' on waves like mountains. It is only shimmering light. Those waves are lighter in their eyes and sweeter to them than cold drink in a white glass to the people of this world on a summer day. Their days, which they had in the vanguard of their companions who were in this world, their boats will be advanced before their companions by a thousand thousand years and fifty thousand years. Their right flank behind them is at half the proximity of those to their companions, and their left flank is likewise. Their rearguard are those who were behind them in those boats of pearl. While they are thus traveling in that river, those waves will raise them to a throne before the Throne of the Lord of Might. While they are thus, the angels will appear to them, being multiplied in beauty, splendor, comeliness, and light over the servants of the people of Paradise, just as they are multiplied over the people of Paradise by their stations with Allah. One of them will be about to fall prostrate to some of their servants among the angels, but he will say: 'O friend of Allah, I am a servant to you. We are a hundred thousand stewards in the gardens of Eden, a hundred thousand stewards in the gardens of Firdaws, a hundred thousand stewards in the gardens of Bliss, a hundred thousand stewards in the gardens of Refuge, a hundred thousand stewards in the gardens of Eternity, a hundred thousand stewards in the gardens of the Permitted, and a hundred thousand stewards in the gardens of Peace. Each steward among them is at the gate of a city. In each city are a hundred thousand palaces, in each palace a hundred thousand houses of gold, silver, large pearls, rubies, chrysolite, pearls, and light. In them are his wives, his couches, and his servants. If the lowest of them were to host the jinn and mankind, and their like with them a thousand thousand times, the lowest palace among his palaces would be spacious enough for them, all they wish of hospitality, servants, fruits, produce, food, and drink. Each palace is sufficient with what it contains of these things for all their capacity, not needing the other palace in any of that. The lowest of them in station is the one who enters upon Allah morning and evening, and He commands all honor. He will not be occupied until he looks upon His beautiful face, Blessed and Exalted is He."
