وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو ظِلَالٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ؓ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ:

سَلَكَ رَجُلَانِ مَفَازَةً، أَحَدُهُمَا عَابِدٌ، وَالْآخَرُ بِهِ رَهَقٌ، فَعَطِشَ الْعَابِدُ حَتَّى سَقَطَ، فَجَعَلَ صَاحِبُهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ صَرِيعٌ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ، لَئِنْ مَاتَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ عَطَشًا وَمَعِي مَاءٌ، لَا أَصَبْتُ مِنَ اللهِ خَيْرًا، وَإِنْ سَقَيْتُهُ مَائِي لَأَمُوتَنَّ، فَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى، وَعَزَمَ وَرَشَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَائِهِ وَسَقَاهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ، فَقَامَ حَتَّى قَطَعَا الْمَفَازَةَ، قَالَ: فَيُوقَفُ الَّذِي بِهِ رَهَقٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِلْحِسَابِ، فَيُؤْمَرُ بِهِ إِلَى النَّارِ، فَتَسُوقُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، فَيَرَى الْعَابِدَ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا فُلَانُ أَمَا تَعْرِفُنِي ؟ فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: أَنَا فُلَانٌ الَّذِي آثَرْتُكَ عَلَى نَفْسِي يَوْمَ الْمَفَازَةِ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: بَلَى أَعْرِفُكَ، فَيَقُولُ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ: قِفُوا، فَيُوقَفُ وَيَجِيءُ حَتَّى يَقِفَ وَيَدْعُوَ رَبَّهُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ، قَدْ تَعْرِفُ يَدَهُ عِنْدِي، وَكَيْفَ آثَرَنِي عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، يَا رَبِّ، هَبْهُ لِي، فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا: هُوَ لَكَ، قَالَ: فَيَجِيءُ فَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ، فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ

✧ Two men traveled through a desert. One was a devoted worshipper, and the other had a burden of sin. The worshipper became thirsty until he collapsed, and his companion looked at him as he lay prostrate. He said: 'By Allah, if this righteous servant dies of thirst while I have water, I will not attain any good from Allah; but if I give him my water, I will surely die myself.' So he trusted in Allah Most High and resolved, then he sprinkled some of his water on him and gave him the surplus. So [the worshipper] rose and they crossed the desert. He said: The one with the burden of sin will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection and ordered to the Fire, and the angels will drive him. Then he will see the worshipper and say: 'O so-and-so, do you not recognize me?' He will say: 'Who are you?' He will say: 'I am so-and-so, the one who preferred you over myself on the day of the desert.' He will say: 'Yes, I recognize you.' Then he will say to the angels: 'Stop!' So he will be stopped, and he will come and stand, and he will call upon his Lord, saying: 'O Lord, You know the favor he did me and how he preferred me over himself. O Lord, grant him to me.' Then He, Glorified and Exalted, will say: 'He is yours.' He said: Then he will come and take him by the hand and enter him into Paradise.
