وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ - هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ - ثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ حَيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي حَيَّةَ، قَالَتْ:

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَجُلٌ بِالظَّهِيرَةِ، قُلْتُ: مَا حَاجَتُكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: أَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي فِي بُغَاءِ إِبِلٍ لَنَا، فَانْطَلَقَ صَاحِبِي يَبْغِي وَدَخَلْتُ فِي الظِّلِّ أَسْتَظِلُّ وَأَشْرَبُ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ. قَالَتْ: فَقُمْتُ إِلَى لُبَيْنَةٍ لَنَا حَامِضَةٍ - وَرُبَّمَا قَالَتْ: إِلَى ضَيْحَةٍ حَامِضَةٍ - فَسَقَيْتُهُ مِنْهُ، وَتَوَسَّمْتُهُ وَقُلْتُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قَالَ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ. قُلْتُ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ بِهِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ غَزْوَنَا خَثْعَمًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَغَزْوَ بَعْضِنَا بَعْضًا، وَمَا جَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى بِهِ مِنَ الْأُلْفَةِ وَأَطْنَابِ الْفَسَاطِيطِ، هَكَذَا شَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، حَتَّى مَتَى أَمْرُ النَّاسِ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: مَا اسْتَقَامَتِ الْأَئِمَّةُ. قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: وَمَا الْأَئِمَّةُ ؟ قَالَ: أَلَمْ تَرَيْ إِلَى السَّيِّدِ يَكُونُ فِي الْحِوَاءِ يَتَّبِعُونَهُ وَيُطِيعُونَهُ، فَهُمْ أُولَئِكَ مَا اسْتَقَامُوا

✧ A man entered upon me at noon. I said: "What is your need, O servant of God?" He said: "I and a companion of mine were searching for some camels of ours. My companion went on searching, and I entered the shade to seek shelter and drink from the drink." She said: "I got up to some sour milk of ours—or perhaps she said: to some sour mixed drink—and gave him to drink from it. I examined him and said: 'O servant of God, who are you?' He said: 'Abu Bakr.' I said: 'Abu Bakr, the companion of the Messenger of God ﷺ whom I have heard of?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: "Then I remembered our raiding Khath'am in the pre-Islamic era, and our fighting one another, and what God Almighty brought of harmony and the ropes of the tents—like this, he interlocked his fingers. I said: 'O servant of God, how long will this affair of the people be?' He said: 'As long as the leaders remain upright.' She said: I said: 'And what are the leaders?' He said: 'Have you not seen the chief who is in the encampment, whom they follow and obey? They are those as long as they remain upright.'"
