وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، ثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّاسِبِيِّ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ:
كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ ؓ عَنْ عَهْدِهِ، فَقَالَ: لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ الْوُلَاةَ يُجَاءُ بِهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقِفُونَ عَلَى جِسْرِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَمَنْ كَانَ مُطَاوِعًا لِلهِ يُنَاوِلُهُ اللهُ بِيَمِينِهِ حَتَّى يُنْجِيَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ عَاصِيًا لِلهِ انْخَرَقَ بِهِ الْجِسْرُ إِلَى وَادٍ مِنْ نَارٍ يَتَلَهَّبُ الْتِهَابًا قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَإِلَى سَلْمَانَ ؓ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ ؓ: أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ وَاللهِ، وَبَعْدَ الْوَادِي وَادٍ آخَرُ مِنْ نَارٍ. قَالَ: وَسَأَلَ سَلْمَانَ ؓ فَكَرِهَ أَنْ يُخْبِرَهُ بِشَيْءٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: مَنْ يَأْخُذُهَا بِمَا فِيهَا ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ ؓ: مَنْ سَلَبَ اللهُ عَيْنَهُ وَأَنْفَهُ وَأَصْدَعَ خَدَّهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ

✧ Umar ؓ wrote to him about his covenant, but he said: "I have no need of it. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'The governors will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and made to stand on the bridge of Hell. Whoever was obedient to God, God will take him by His right hand and save him. Whoever was disobedient to God, the bridge will collapse with him into a valley of fire, blazing fiercely.'" He said: "So Umar ؓ sent for Abu Dharr and Salman ؓ and said to Abu Dharr ؓ: 'Did you hear this from the Messenger of God ﷺ?' He said: 'Yes, by God, and after the valley there is another valley of fire.'" He said: "He asked Salman ؓ, but he disliked telling him anything. Umar ؓ said: 'Who will take it with all its consequences?' Abu Dharr ؓ said: 'One whose eye God has plucked out, whose nose He has cut off, and whose cheek He has cleft to the ground.'"
