قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، ثَنَا سُلَيْمُ بْنُ أَخْضَرَ، ثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَنْبَأَنِي الْحَسَنُ، عَنْ صَاحِبِ زَادِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ؓ قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: كَانَ يُسَمَّى سَفِينَةَ:

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ، وَرَاحِلَتُهُ بِهَا زَادُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَجَاءَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي قَدْ جُعْتُ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَنَا بِمُعْطِيكَ حَتَّى يَأْمُرَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَيَنْزِلَ النَّاسُ فَنَأْكُلَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ هَكَذَا بِالسَّيْفِ، وَكَشَفَ عُرْقُوبَ الرَّاحِلَةِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ إِذَا حَزَبَهُمْ أَمْرٌ قَالُوا: احْبِسْ أَوَّلُ، احْبِسْ أَوَّلُ. فَسَمِعُوا فَوَقَفُوا، وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا صَنَعَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ بِالرَّاحِلَةِ قَالَ لَهُ: اخْرُجْ، وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَسِيرُوا، فَجَعَلَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ يَتْبَعُهُمْ حَتَّى نَزَلُوا، فَجَعَلَ يَأْتِيهِمْ فِي رِحَالِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ: إِلَى أَيْنَ أَخْرَجَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ إِلَى النَّارِ أَخْرَجَنِي ؟ قَالَ: فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا زَالَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ يَتَحَوَّبُ رِحَالَنَا مُنْذُ اللَّيْلَةِ، وَيَقُولُ: إِلَى أَيْنَ أَخْرَجَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ إِلَى النَّارِ أَخْرَجَنِي ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ الْمُعَطَّلِ خَبِيثُ اللِّسَانِ طَيِّبُ الْقَلْبِ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ was on a journey, and his riding camel carried the provisions of the Prophet ﷺ. Ṣafwān b. al-Muʿaṭṭal came and said: “I am hungry.” He said: “I will not give you until the Prophet ﷺ orders me, and the people dismount, and we eat.” He said: “So he said, like this, with the sword,” and he cut the hamstring of the riding camel. He said: “When some matter distressed them, they would say: ‘Hold back the front, hold back the front.’ They heard, so they halted. The Messenger of God ﷺ came, and when he saw what Ṣafwān b. al-Muʿaṭṭal had done to the riding camel, he said to him: ‘Depart.’ He ordered the people to continue, and Ṣafwān b. al-Muʿaṭṭal began to follow them until they camped. Then he started coming to their mounts, saying: ‘To where has the Messenger of God ﷺ expelled me? To the Fire has he expelled me?’ They came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of God, Ṣafwān b. al-Muʿaṭṭal has been grieving at our mounts since last night, saying: ‘To where has the Messenger of God ﷺ expelled me? To the Fire has he expelled me?’ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: ‘Ṣafwān b. al-Muʿaṭṭal has a foul tongue but a pure heart.’”
