وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، ثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّقَرِيِّ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
مَنْ خَدَمَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ، وَمَنْ سَقَى رَجُلًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَدَ حَوْضَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرُوا اشْتَرَطَ عَلَى أَفْضَلِهِمُ الْخِدْمَةَ، وَمَنْ أَخْطَأَهُ ذَلِكَ اشْتَرَطَ الْأَذَانَ، قَالَ: وَوَفَدَ قَوْمٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَةٍ فَرَأَى فِيهِمْ قَوْمًا قَدْ أَجْهَدَتْهُمُ الْعِبَادَةُ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ كَانَ يَخْدُمُهُمْ ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ ﷺ: أَنْتُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُمْ

✧ Whoever serves twelve men in the path of God Most High, his sins depart from him as on the day his mother gave birth to him. And whoever gives water to a man in the path of God, Mighty and Majestic, he will come to the Prophet's ﷺ basin on the Day of Resurrection. He said: And when the Prophet ﷺ traveled, he would stipulate service upon the best of them; and whoever missed that, he would stipulate the call to prayer. He said: A group came to the Prophet ﷺ from an expedition, and he saw among them people whom worship had exhausted. He said: "Who serves them?" Some of them said: "We do, O Messenger of God." He ﷺ said: "You are better than them."
