حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ: أَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ الْمَهْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ يَقُولُ:
صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَطَالَ بِنَا الْقِيَامَ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى خَفَّفَ فِي قِيَامِهِ، وَفِي ذَلِكَ نَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ، يَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ، وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ ؟، ثُمَّ أَهْوَى بِيَمِينِهِ لِيَتَنَاوَلَ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَكَعَ، ثُمَّ أَسْرَعَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ جَلَسَ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ، فَقَالَ: " قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنْ قَدْ رَابَكُمْ طُولُ قِيَامِي " قُلْنَا: أَجَلْ، سَمِعْنَاكَ تَقُولُ: " يَا رَبِّ، وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ ؟ " فَقَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا وُعِدْتُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا، حَتَّى عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ شَيْءٌ مِنْهَا حَتَّى حَاذَى بِمَكَانِي، فَخِفْتُ أَنْ تَغْشَاكُمْ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَبِّ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ ؟ فَصَرَفَهَا اللهُ عَنْكُمْ، فَأَقْبَلَتْ قِطَعًا كَأَنَّهَا الزَّرَابِيُّ، وَأَشْرَفْتُ فِيهَا إِشْرَافَةً فَإِذَا فِيهَا عَمْرُو بْنُ حِدْثَانَ أَخُو بَنِي غِفَارٍ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى قَوْسِهِ فِي جَهَنَّمَ، وَإِذَا فِيهَا الْحِمْيَرِيَّةُ صَاحِبَةُ الْقِطِّ، الَّتِي رَبَطَتْهُ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ وَلَمْ تَسْقِهِ وَلَمْ تُسَرِّحْهُ يَبْتَغِي مَا يَأْكُلُ، حَتَّى مَاتَتْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

✧ We prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he prolonged the standing with us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would, when he prayed, keep his standing light, but during that he made us hear him saying: O Lord, am I to be among them? Then he leaned with his right hand to reach for something. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed, then hastened after that. When he said the taslīm, he sat and we sat around him. He said: I knew that my long standing would disturb you. We said: Yes, we heard you say: O Lord, am I to be among them? He said: By the One in whose hand is my soul, nothing of what you have been promised in the Hereafter was shown to me in this standing of mine except that it was presented to me, even the Fire was presented to me. Something of it came toward me until it was level with my place, and I feared that it would overwhelm you, so I said: O Lord, am I to be among them? Then Allah diverted it from you, and it came back in pieces like carpets. I looked into it and saw ʿAmr b. Ḥidthān, the brother of Banū Ghifār, leaning on his bow in Hell, and I saw in it the Ḥimyarī woman, the owner of the cat, who tied it up and neither fed it nor gave it water nor let it loose to seek what it might eat, until she died in that state.
