وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، ثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مَرْوَانَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ:
جِئْنَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ؓ وَنَحْنُ سِتَّةُ نَفَرٍ، سَادِسُنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ، وَنَحْنُ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ، فَوَجَدْنَاهُ مُرْتَحِلًا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ، مَا جَاءَ بِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: جِئْنَا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ، وَنَقْتَبِسُ مِنْكَ، قَالَ ؓ: نَعَمْ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: « الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ، مَنْ لَقِيَ اللهَ تَعَالَى بِهِنَّ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ »، فَقُلْنَا: فَكَيْفَ لِمَا مَضَى فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ؟ قَالَ: تَمْحُوهُ التُّقَى - مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْجُهَنِيُّ: أَسَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، أَيَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَكْذِبَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

✧ We came to Abu Dharr ؓ – we were six people, our sixth a man from Juhaynah and we from Aslam – and found him preparing to leave Madinah. He said: 'Welcome to you. What brings you?' They said: 'We came to greet you and to benefit from you.' He ؓ said: 'Yes. I heard Abu al-Qasim ﷺ say: "The five prayers – whoever meets Allah Almighty with them, not having neglected anything of them, Allah will forgive his sins even if they were as much as the fill of the earth."' We said: 'What about what came before in the pre-Islamic era?' He said: 'Piety wipes it out' – twice. The Juhani said to him: 'Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said: 'Glory be to Allah! Is it permissible for a man to lie about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?'
