حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْكُوفِيُّ ثنا الْمُعَافَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ
أَنَّ نَفَرًا كَانُوا فِي عَهْدِ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَشْهَدُونَ الْفَجْرَ وَيَجْلِسُونَ عِنْدَ قَاصِّ الْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ تَحَوَّلُوا إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ وَيَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللهِ حَتَّى يَتَعَالَى النَّهَارُ فَأُخْبِرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بِهِمْ فَجَاءَ يُهَرْوِلُ أَوْ يَسْعَى فِي مِشْيَتِهِ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ جِئْتُ أُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِبُشْرَى اللهِ فِيمَا رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّ نَفَرًا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ نَحْوًا مِمَّا تَصْنَعُونَ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَأَنِّي أَحْكِيهِ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «أَبْشِرُوا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُبَاهِي بِكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ»
Translation
Chain of narrators
- ʿAlī b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz
✧ Some people during the time of Muʿāwiyah used to attend the dawn prayer and then sit with the storyteller of the congregation. When he finished, they would move to a corner of the mosque and remember Allah and recite the Book of Allah until the day grew bright. Muʿāwiyah was informed of them and came hurrying—or walking quickly—until he stood before them and said: I have come to give you glad tidings from Allah for what He has provided you. A group of people during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—I think he said—used to do something like what you do. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, as if I am imitating his walk, until he stood before them and said: �Rejoice! By Him in Whose hand is my soul, Allah ﷻ boasts of you to the angels.�
