حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ، ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي سَارَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ لَيُشْرِفُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، فَيُنَادِي مَنْ فِي النَّارِ: يَا فُلَانُ أَمَا تَعْرِفُنِي ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَاللهِ لَا أَعْرِفُكَ، مَنْ أَنْتَ وَيْحَكَ ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا الَّذِي مَرَرْتَ بِي فِي الدُّنْيَا، فَاسْتَسْقَيْتَنِي شَرْبَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَسَقَيْتُكَ، فَاشْفَعْ لِي بِهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى اللهِ فِي زَوْرِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ إِنِّي أَشْرَفْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِ النَّارِ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، فَنَادَى: يَا فُلَانُ أَمَا تَعْرِفُنِي ؟ فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ مَا أَعْرِفُكَ، وَمَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا الَّذِي مَرَرْتَ بِي فِي الدُّنْيَا، فَاسْتَسْقَيْتَنِي فَسَقَيْتُكَ، فَاشْفَعْ لِي بِهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ فَشَفِّعْنِي فِيهِ، قَالَ: فَيُشَفِّعُهُ اللهُ فِيهِ وَيُخْرِجُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ

✧ A man from the people of Paradise will look down upon a man from the people of the Fire, and he will call out to the one in the Fire: 'O so-and-so, do you not recognize me?' He will say: 'No, by Allah, I do not recognize you. Who are you, woe to you?' He will say: 'I am the one you passed by in the world, and you asked me for a drink of water, and I gave it to you. So intercede for me thereby with your Lord.' He said: Then that man will enter upon Allah in his visit, and he will say: 'O Lord, I looked down upon the people of the Fire, and a man from the people of the Fire stood and called out: O so-and-so, do you not recognize me? I said: By Allah, I do not recognize you. Who are you? He said: I am the one you passed by in the world, and you asked me for a drink and I gave it to you. So intercede for me thereby with your Lord.' Then he will say: 'O Lord, accept my intercession for him.' He said: Then Allah will accept his intercession for him and bring him out of the Fire.
