حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْعِجْلِيُّ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ الْمَنْبِجِيُّ قَالَ: نَا الْوَضَّاحُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ:

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيَالِي أَحْمِلُ لَهُ الطَّهُورَ، إِذْ سَمِعَ مُنَادِيًا، فَقَالَ: " يَا أَنَسُ، صُبَّهُ " فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى مَا يُنَجِّينِي مِمَّا خَوَّفْتَنِي مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: " لَوْ قَالَ أُخْتَهَا "، فَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَقِنَ مَا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: وَارْزُقْنِي شَوْقَ الصَّادِقِينَ إِلَى مَا شَوَّقْتَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: حَيًّا يَا أَنَسُ، ضَعِ الطَّهُورَ، وَائْتِ هَذَا الْمُنَادِي، فَقُلْ لَهُ: أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُعِينَهُ عَلَى مَا ابْتَعَثَهُ بِهِ، وَادْعُ لِأُمَّتِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مَا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ " فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: ادْعُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُعِينَهُ اللهُ عَلَى مَا ابْتَعَثَهُ، وَادْعُ لِأُمَّتِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مَا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ، فَقَالَ: وَمَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ ؟ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُعْلِمَهُ، وَلَمْ أَسْتَأَذِنْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ: وَمَا عَلَيْكَ رَحِمَكَ اللهُ بِمَا سَأَلْتُكَ ؟ قَالَ: أَوَ لَا تُخْبِرُنِي مَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ ؟ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا قَالَ، فَقَالَ: " قُلْ لَهُ: أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ " فَقَالَ لِي: مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ، وَمَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِهِ، أَنَا كُنْتُ أَحَقَّ أَنْ آتِيَهُ، أَقْرِئْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ السَّلَامَ، وَقُلْ لَهُ: الْخَضِرُ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامُ، وَيَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ فَضَّلَكَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّينَ كَمَا فَضَّلَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى سَائِرِ الشُّهُورِ، وَفَضَّلَ أُمَّتَكَ عَلَى الْأُمَمِ كَمَا فَضَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ عَنْهُ، سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْمَرْحُومَةِ الْمُرْشِدَةِ الْمُتَابِ عَلَيْهَا

✧ I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on some nights carrying his water for ablution when he heard a caller, so he said: 'O Anas, pour it out.' The caller said: 'O Allah, help me with what will save me from what You have made me fear.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'If only he had said its sister phrase.' It was as if the man was inspired with what the Messenger of Allah wanted, so he said: 'And grant me the longing of the truthful for what You have made them long for.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Alive, O Anas! Put down the ablution water and go to this caller and tell him to supplicate for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that Allah may help him with what He has sent him with, and supplicate for his nation that they may accept what their Prophet has brought them in truth.' So I went to him and said: 'Supplicate for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that Allah may help him with what He has sent him with, and supplicate for his nation that they may accept what their Prophet has brought them in truth.' He said: 'Who sent you?' I disliked to inform him and I had not asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission, so I said: 'What concern is it to you, may Allah have mercy on you, with what I ask of you?' He said: 'Will you not tell me who sent you?' So I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him what he said, and he said: 'Tell him: I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah.' He said to me: 'Welcome to the Messenger of Allah and welcome to his messenger. I was more deserving of coming to him. Convey peace to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and tell him: Al-Khidr conveys peace to you and says to you: Allah has preferred you over the prophets as He preferred the month of Ramadan over all other months, and He has preferred your nation over all nations as He preferred the day of Friday over all other days.' When I turned away from him, I heard him say: 'O Allah, make me of this nation, the one on whom mercy is shown, rightly guided, and forgiven.'
