حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ الْقَطَّانُ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ الْأُبُلِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الصَّعْقُ بْنُ حَزْنٍ، عَنْ عَقِيلٍ الْجَعْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ قَالَ:

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَوْثَقُ ؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ: أَوْثَقُ عُرَى الْإِسْلَامِ: الْوَلَايَةُ فِي اللهِ، وَالْحُبُّ فِي اللهِ، وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَتَدْرِي أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: فَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُهُمْ عَمَلًا إِذَا فَقِهُوا فِي دِينِهِمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَتَدْرِي أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَعْلَمُ ؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: إِنَّ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ أَبْصَرُهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُقَصِّرًا فِي عَمَلِهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ يَزْحَفُ عَلَى اسْتِهِ زَحْفًا، وَاخْتَلَفَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً نَجَا مِنْهَا ثَلَاثٌ وَهَلَكَ سَائِرُهُنَّ، فِرْقَةٌ أَزَتِ الْمُلُوكَ وَقَاتَلُوهُمْ عَلَى دِينِهِمْ وَدِينِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، فَأَخَذُوهُمْ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ وَنَشَرُوهُمْ [ نُشِرُوا ] بِالْمَنَاشِيرِ، وَفِرْقَةٌ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُمْ طَاقَةٌ بِمُوَازَةِ الْمُلُوكِ، وَلَا أَنْ يُقِيمُوا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى دِينِ اللهِ وَدِينِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ، فَسَاحُوا فِي الْبِلَادِ وَتَرَهَّبُوا، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ابْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلا ابْتِغَاءَ رِضْوَانِ اللهِ الْآيَةَ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: فَمَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَاتَّبَعَنِي وَصَدَّقَنِي فَقَدْ رَعَاهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتَّبِعْنِي فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْهَالِكُونَ

✧ I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: "O Ibn Mas'ud, which of the bonds of faith is most firm?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "The firmest bond of Islam is: allegiance for the sake of Allah, love for the sake of Allah, and hatred for the sake of Allah." Then he said: "O Ibn Mas'ud." I said: "At your service, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Do you know which of the people is most virtuous?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "The most virtuous of people are the best of them in deeds when they have understanding in their religion." Then he said: "O Ibn Mas'ud." I said: "At your service, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Do you know which of the people is most knowledgeable?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "The most knowledgeable of people are those most discerning of the truth when people differ, even if he is deficient in his deeds, even if he crawls on his rear. Those before you split into seventy-two sects; three of them were saved, and the rest perished. One sect confronted the kings and fought them for their religion and the religion of 'Isa b. Maryam ﷺ ; they were seized, killed, and sawn apart with saws. Another sect did not have the strength to oppose the kings nor to stay among them calling them to the religion of Allah and the religion of 'Isa b. Maryam, so they wandered through the lands and became monks. They are the ones about whom Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: 'And monasticism they invented; We did not prescribe it for them, except seeking the pleasure of Allah' (57:27)." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever believes in me, follows me, and affirms me has observed it as it should be observed. And whoever does not follow me, those are the ones who perish."
