حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ جَنَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ وَعِنْدَهُ عِصَابَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ، أَوْ قَالَ: صَفْرَاءُ، فَقَالَ: ابْنَ عَمٍّ، خُذْ هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةَ، فَاشْدُدْ بِهَا رَأْسِي، فَشَدَدْتُ بِهَا رَأْسَهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ تَوَكَّأَ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ، وَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَرُبَ مِنِّي الرَّحِيلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَظْهُرِكُمْ، فَمَنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَصَبْتُ مِنْ عِرْضِهِ أَوْ مِنْ بَشَرِهِ أَوْ مِنْ شَعَرِهِ أَوْ مِنْ مَالِهِ شَيْئًا فَهَذَا عِرْضُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَشَعْرُهُ وَبَشَرُهُ وَمَالُهُ، فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيَقْتَصَّ، وَلَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ: إِنِّي أَتَخَوَّفُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالشَّحْنَاءَ، أَلَا إِنَّهُمَا لَيْسَا مِنْ طَبِيعَتِي وَلَيْسَا مِنْ خُلُقِي، قَالَ: ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ. فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: ابْنَ عَمِّي، لَا أَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَقَامِي بِالْأَمْسِ أَجْزَأَ عَنِّي، خُذْ هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةَ فَاشْدُدْ بِهَا رَأْسِي، قَالَ: فَشَدَدْتُ بِهَا رَأْسَهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ تَوَكَّأَ ﷺ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ بِالْأَمْسِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ أَحَبَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا مَنِ اقْتَصَّ، قَالَ: فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ يَوْمَ أَتَاكَ السَّائِلُ فَسَأَلَكَ، فَقُلْتَ: مَنْ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ يُقْرِضُنَا ؟ فَأَقْرَضْتُكَ ثَلَاثَةَ دَرَاهِمَ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: يَا فَضْلُ، أَعْطِهِ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: وَمَنْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ فَلْيَسْأَلْنَا نَدْعُ لَهُ، قَالَ: فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ جَبَانٌ كَثِيرُ النَّوْمِ، قَالَ الْفَضْلُ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَشْجَعَنَا وَأَقَلَّنَا نَوْمًا. قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَتَى ﷺ بَيْتَ عَائِشَةَ، فَقَالَ لِلنِّسَاءِ مِثْلَمَا قَالَ لِلرِّجَالِ

✧ I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ during his illness, and he had a red band — or he said: a yellow band. He said: 'O cousin, take this band and bind my head with it.' So I bound his head with it. He said: Then he leaned on me until we entered the mosque. He said: 'O people, I am but a human like you. Perhaps my departure from among you has drawn near. Whoever I have wronged in his honor, his person, his hair, or his wealth, here is Muhammad’s honor, hair, person, and wealth; let him rise and take retribution. And let none of you say: I fear enmity and hatred from Muhammad. Indeed, they are not part of my nature nor my character.' He said: Then he left. The next day I came to him, and he said: 'O cousin, I do not think that my standing yesterday sufficed for me. Take this band and bind my head with it.' He said: So I bound his head with it. He said: Then he ﷺ leaned on me until he entered the mosque and said the same as his speech the day before. Then he ﷺ said: 'The most beloved of you to us is the one who seeks retribution.' He said: A man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you remember the day a beggar came to you and asked you, and you said: Who has something to lend us? And I lent you three dirhams.' He ﷺ said: 'O Fadl, give it to him.' So I gave it to him. Then he ﷺ said: 'Whoever is overcome by something, let him ask us so that we may supplicate for him.' He said: A man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am a cowardly man who sleeps a lot.' Al-Fadl said: I later saw him as the bravest of us and the one who slept the least. He said: Then he ﷺ came to Aisha’sws house and said to the women the same as he had said to the men.
