حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخٍ ثنا حَكِيمُ بْنُ خِذَامٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ قَالَ

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ أَكْشَفُ أَحْوَلُ أَوْقَصُ أَحْنَفُ أَقْحَمُ أَعْسَرُ أَرْسَجُ أَفْحَجُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِمَا فَرَضَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ إِنِّي أُعَاهِدُ اللهَ أَنْ لَا أَزِيدَ عَلَى فَرِيضَتِهِ قَالَ «لِمَ» قَالَ لِأَنَّهُ خَلَقَنِي أَكْشَفَ أَحْوَلَ أَقْحَمَ أَعْسَرَ أَرْسَجَ أَفْحَجَ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَيْنَ الْعَاتِبُ عَلَى رَبِّهِ؟ عَاتَبَ رَبًّا كَرِيمًا فَأَعْتَبَهُ قَالَ قُلْ لَهُ أَلَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تُبْعَثَ فِي صُورَةِ جِبْرِيلَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّكَ عَاتَبْتَ رَبًّا كَرِيمًا فَأَعْتَبَكَ أَفَلَا تَرْضَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَكَ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى صُورَةِ جِبْرِيلَ؟» قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُعَاهِدُ اللهَ لَا يَقْوَى جَسَدِي عَلَى شَيْءٍ يَرْضَاهُ اللهُ إِلَّا حَمَلْتَهُ

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ who was bald, cross-eyed, short-necked, bow-legged, sunken-eyed, left-handed, knock-kneed, and wide-legged. He said: “O Messenger of God, tell me what God has obligated upon me.” When he told him, he said: “I pledge to God that I will not add to His obligation.” He said: “Why?” He said: “Because He created me bald, cross-eyed, sunken-eyed, left-handed, knock-kneed, and wide-legged.” Then he turned away. Gabriel ﷺ came to him and said: “O Muhammad, where is the one who remonstrated with his Lord? He remonstrated with a Generous Lord, and He satisfied him.” He said: “Tell him: Would you not be pleased to be resurrected in the form of Gabriel on the Day of Resurrection?” So the Prophet ﷺ sent for the man and said: “You remonstrated with a Generous Lord, and He satisfied you. Would you not be pleased that God resurrects you on the Day of Resurrection in the form of Gabriel?” He said: “Yes, O Messenger of God.” He said: “Then I pledge to God that my body will not have strength for anything that pleases God except that I will bear it.”
