حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي صَدْرِ النَّهَارِ، قَالَ فَجَاءَهُ قَوْمٌ حُفَاةٌ عُرَاةٌ مُجْتَابِي النِّمَارِ أَوِ الْعَبَاءِ مُتَقَلِّدِي السُّيُوفِ، عَامَّتُهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ بَلْ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ، فَتَمَعَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِمَا رَأَى بِهِمْ مِنَ الْفَاقَةِ، فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَأَمَرَ بِلاَلاً فَأَذَّنَ وَأَقَامَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ خَطَبَ: فَقَالَ: «﴿يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ﴾» إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ «﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبً﴾»، وَالآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي الْحَشْرِ «﴿اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلْتَنْظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ﴾، تَصَدَّقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ دِينَارِهِ مِنْ دِرْهَمِهِ مِنْ ثَوْبِهِ مِنْ صَاعِ بُرِّهِ مِنْ صَاعِ تَمْرِهِ» حَتَّى قَالَ «وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ»، قَالَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ بِصُرَّةٍ كَادَتْ كَفُّهُ تَعْجِزُ عَنْهَا، بَلْ قَدْ عَجَزَتْ، قَالَ ثُمَّ تَتَابَعَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ كَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَثِيَابٍ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَهَلَّلُ كَأَنَّهُ مُذْهَبَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا، وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَىْءٌ، وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَىْءٌ».

We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the early part of the day. He said: Then there came to him some people who were barefoot and nearly naked, wearing patched cloaks or woolen mantles, with swords slung over their shoulders. Most of them were from ˹the tribe of˺ Mudar, rather, all of them were from Mudar. The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed because of the poverty he saw upon them. He went in, then came out, and he ordered Bilal, who called the adhan and the iqamah. He then led the prayer, and then delivered a sermon. He said: “O people, fear your Lord who created you from a single soul…” to the end of the verse: “Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.” (Nisa 4:1) And he recited the verse in Surat al-Hashr: “Fear Allah, and let every soul look to what it has sent forth for tomorrow; and fear Allah.” (Hashr 59:18) Then he said: “Let a man give charity from his dinar, from his dirham, from his clothing, from a sa‘ of his wheat, from a sa‘ of his dates,” until he said: “Even if it is with half a date.” Then a man from the Ansar came with a bundle that his hand could scarcely carry, rather, it could not carry it. Then the people followed one after another until I saw two heaps of food and clothing, until I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ glowing as if it were gilded. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever introduces in Islam a 'sunnah hasanah' (good practice) will have its reward and the reward of those who act upon it after him, without any of their rewards being diminished in the least. And whoever introduces in Islam a bad practice will bear its burden and the burden of those who act upon it after him, without any of their burdens being diminished in the least.”
