حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بِسْطَامٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ قَالَ: نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، صَاحِبُ الْهَرَوِيِّ قَالَ: نَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي كَعْبٍ، صَاحِبِ الْحَرِيرِ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:

لَمَّا بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْعَلَاءَ بْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ إِلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ، تَبِعْتُهُ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ، لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّتُهُنَّ أَعْجَبُ: انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ، فَقَالَ: سَمُّوا وَاقْتَحِمُوا، قَالَ: فَسَمَّيْنَا وَاقْتَحَمْنَا فَعَبَرْنَا فَمَا بَلَّ الْمَاءُ إِلَّا أَسَافِلَ خِفَافِ إِبِلِنَا، فَلَمَّا قَفَلْنَا صِرْنَا مَعَهُ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مَاءٌ، فَشَكَوْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ دَعَا فَإِذَا سَحَابَةٌ مِثْلُ التُّرْسِ، ثُمَّ أَرْخَتْ غَزَالَيْهَا، فَسَقَيْنَا وَاسْتَقَيْنَا، وَمَاتَ فَدَفَنَّاهُ فِي الرَّمْلِ، فَلَمَّا سِرْنَا غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ قُلْنَا: يَجِيءُ سَبُعٌ فَيَأْكُلُهُ، فَرَجَعْنَا، فَلَمْ نَرَهُ

✧ When the Prophet ﷺ sent al-ʿAlāʾ b. al-Ḥaḍramī to Bahrain, I followed him and saw three qualities in him. I do not know which of them was more amazing: We reached the shore of the sea, and he said: “Say ‘Bismillah’ and plunge in.” He said: So we said “Bismillah” and plunged in, and we crossed, and the water only touched the lower parts of our camels’ hooves. When we returned, we were with him in a waterless desert, and we had no water with us. We complained to him, so he prayed two rakʿahs then supplicated, and there was a cloud like a shield. Then it let down its spouts, and we drank and gave water to our mounts. And he died, so we buried him in the sand. When we had traveled not far, we said: “A wild beast will come and eat him.” So we went back, but we did not see him.
