حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: نَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ قَالَ: أَنَا عِمْرَانُ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
خَرَجَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ يَرْتَادُونَ لِأَهْلِيهِمْ، فَأَصَابَتْهُمُ السَّمَاءُ، فَلَجَئُوا إِلَى جَبَلٍ أَوْ إِلَى كَهْفٍ، فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَجَرٌ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: وَقَعَ الْحَجَرُ وَعَفَا الْأَثَرُ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَكَانَكُمْ إِلَّا اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ادْعُوا بِأَوْثَقِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ. فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ: كَانَ لِي وَالِدَانِ، فَكُنْتُ أَحْلُبُ لَهُمَا فِي إِنَاءٍ، فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُهُمَا وَهُمَا نَائِمَانِ قُمْتُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَا مَتَى اسْتَيْقَظَا، وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ تَدُورَ سِنَتُهُمَا فِي رُءُوسِهِمَا، فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَا شَرِبَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ رَجَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَخَشْيَةَ عَذَابِكَ فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا، فَزَالَ ثُلُثُ الْحَجَرِ. وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تُعْجِبُنِي، فَأَرَدْتُهَا فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تُمَكِّنَنِي مِنْ نَفْسِهَا حَتَّى جَعَلْتُ لَهَا جُعْلًا، فَلَمَّا أَخَذَتْ جُعْلَهَا وَاسْتَقَرَّتْ نَفْسُهَا تَرَكْتُهَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ رَجَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَخَشْيَةَ عَذَابِكَ فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا، فَزَالَ ثُلُثَا الْحَجَرِ. وَقَالَ الثَّالِثُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي اسْتَأْجَرْتُ أَجِيرًا يَعْمَلُ يَوْمًا، فَعَمِلَ، فَجَاءَ يَطْلُبُ أَجْرَهُ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ، فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ وَتَسَخَّطَهُ، فَوَفَّرْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى صَارَ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَطْلُبُ أَجْرَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: خُذْ هَذَا كُلَّهُ، وَلَوْ شِئْتُ لَمْ أُعْطِهِ إِلَّا أَجْرَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ رَجَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَخَشْيَةَ عَذَابِكَ، فَافْرُجْ عَنَّا، فَزَالَ ثُلُثُ الْحَجَرِ، وَخَرَجُوا يَتَمَاشَوْنَ

✧ Three men from those before you went out seeking provision for their families. Rain overtook them, so they took refuge in a mountain or a cave. A rock fell and blocked them. They said to one another: The rock has fallen and the trace is gone, and no one knows your place except God, Mighty and Majestic. Supplicate by the most reliable of your deeds. One of them said: I had parents, and I used to milk for them into a vessel. When I came to them while they were sleeping, I would stand until they woke up, whenever they woke up, and I disliked that their sleep should be disturbed in their heads. When they woke up, they drank. O God, if You know that I did that only hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, then open a way for us. A third of the rock moved. The second said: O God, if You know that there was a woman who pleased me, and I wanted her, but she refused to let me have her until I gave her a payment. When she took her payment and her self was settled, I left her. O God, if You know that I did that only hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, then open a way for us. Two-thirds of the rock moved. The third said: O God, if You know that I hired a worker to work for a day, and he worked and came seeking his wages. I gave him, but he did not take it and was dissatisfied, so I invested it for him until it became all kinds of wealth. Then he came seeking his wages, and I said: Take all this. If I wished, I would not have given him except his wages. O God, if You know that I did that only hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, then open a way for us. The final third of the rock moved, and they went out walking.
