وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، ثَنَا حَشْرَجُ بْنُ نُبَاتَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ أَنْ يَسْتَعِينَ بِهِ، عَلَى بَعْضِ الصَّدَقَةِ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَعْمَلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: لِمَ ؟ قَالَ: لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أُتِيَ بِالْوَالِي فَقُذِفَ عَلَى جِسْرِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَيَأْمُرُ اللهُ تَعَالَى الْجِسْرَ، فَيَنْهَضُ بِهِ انْتِهَاضَةً يَزُولُ عَنْهُ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ مِنْهُ عَنْ مَكَانِهِ، ثُمَّ يَأْمُرُ اللهُ تَعَالَى الْعِظَامَ فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا، فَإِنْ كَانَ لِلهِ مُطِيعًا أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ وَأَعْطَاهُ كِفْلَيْنِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لِلهِ عَاصِيًا خُرِقَ بِهِ الْجِسْرُ فَهَوَى فِي جَهَنَّمَ سَبْعِينَ عَامًا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَهُ ؓ: سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَمْ نَسْمَعْ، وَكَانَ سَلْمَانُ وَأَبُو ذَرٍّ ؓ جَالِسَيْنِ، فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ ؓ: نَعَمْ وَاللهِ يَا عُمَرُ، مَعَ السَّبْعِينَ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا فِي وَادٍ مِنْ نَارٍ يَلْتَهِبُ الْتِهَابًا. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ: إِنَّا لِلهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، مَنْ يَأْخُذُهَا بِمَا فِيهَا ؟ فَقَالَ: مَنْ سَلَبَ اللهُ أَنْفَهُ وَأَلْصَقَ خَدَّهُ بِالْأَرْضِ

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ sent for him to seek his help with some of the alms, but he refused to work for him. He said: "Why?" He said: "Because I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'When the Day of Resurrection comes, the governor will be brought and thrown onto the bridge of Hell. God Almighty will command the bridge and it will jolt him with a jolt that every bone in his body shifts from its place. Then God Almighty will command the bones and they will return to their places. If he was obedient to God, He will take him by the hand and give him a double portion of His mercy. If he was disobedient to God, the bridge will be pierced with him and he will fall into Hell for seventy years.'" Umar ؓ said to him: "You have heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ what we have not heard." Salman and Abu Dharr ؓ were sitting there, and Salman ؓ said: "Yes, by God, O Umar, along with the seventy there are seventy autumns in a valley of fire, blazing fiercely." Umar ؓ put his hand on his forehead and said: "Indeed we belong to God and to Him we return. Who will take it with all its consequences?" He said: "One whose nose God has cut off and whose cheek He has made cling to the ground."
