أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، نا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، نا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنِ السَّرِيِّ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُبَيْلِ بْنِ عَزْرَةَ، ابْنِ عَمٍّ لَهُ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ،
أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى أَبَا ذَرٍّ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ حَاجَّ بَيْتِ اللهِ ظَالِمًا، فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنْ مَخْرَجٍ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: وَيْحَكَ، أَحَيٌّ وَالِدَاكَ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: فَأَحَدُهُمَا؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: لَوْ كَانَا حَيَّيْنِ أَوْ أَحَدُهُمَا لَرَجَوْتُ لَكَ، وَمَا أَجِدُ لَكَ مَخْرَجًا إِلَّا فِي إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ، فَقَالَ: لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ، وَمَا هُنَّ؟ قَالَ: هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُحْيِيَهُ كَمَا قَتَلَتْهُ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَاللهِ مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُحْيِيَهُ، قَالَ: فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ لَا تَمُوتَ؟ قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ، مَا مِنَ الْمَوْتِ بُدٌّ، فَمَا الثَّالِثَةُ؟ قَالَ: هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَبْتَغِيَ نَفَقًا فِي الْأَرْضِ أَوْ سُلَّمًا فِي السَّمَاءِ؟ فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ وَلَهُ صُرَاخٌ، فَلَقِيَهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَحَسِبَ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ لَهُ حَمِيمٌ، فَقَالَ: " يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّبْرِ "، قَالَ: وَمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: " أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ "، قَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ حَاجَّ بَيْتِ اللهِ ظَالِمًا، فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ؟ قَالَ: " وَيْحَكَ، أحَيَّانِ وَالِدَاكَ؟ " قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: " لَوْ كَانَا حَيَّيْنِ أَوْ أَحَدُهُمَا رَجَوْتُ لَكَ، وَلَكِنِ اغْزُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَتَعَرَّضْ لِلشَّهَادَةِ فَعَسَى "

A Bedouin came to Abū Dharr and said: "O Abū Dharr, he has unjustly killed a pilgrim to the House of God. Is there any way out for him?" Abū Dharr said to him: "Woe to you! Are your parents alive?" He said: "No." He said: "Then one of them?" He said: "No." He said: "Had they been alive, or one of them, I would have had hope for you. And I find no way out for you except in one of three things." He said: "Praise be to God. What are they?" He said: "Can you bring him back to life as you killed him?" He said: "No, by God, I cannot bring him back to life." He said: "Can you avoid dying?" He said: "No, by God, there is no escape from death. What is the third?" He said: "Can you seek a tunnel in the earth or a ladder in the sky?" So the man got up, crying out. Abū Hurayrah met him and thought he was a man whose close relative had died, and said: "O servant of God, be patient." He said: "And who are you?" He said: "Abū Hurayrah." He said: "He has unjustly killed a pilgrim to the House of God. Is there repentance for him?" He said: "Woe to you! Are your parents both alive?" He said: "No." He said: "Had they been alive, or one of them, I would have had hope for you. But fight in the way of God and expose yourself to martyrdom; perhaps."
