حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} قَالَ فَنَحْنُ نَسْأَلُهُ إِذْ قَالَ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عِبَادًا لَيْسُوا بِأَنْبِيَاءَ وَلَا شُهَدَاءَ يَغْبِطُهُمُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ بِقُرْبِهمْ ومَقْعَدِهِمْ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» قَالَ وَفِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقَوْمِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَامَ فَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَرَمَى بِيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ حَدِّثْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَنْهُمْ مَنْ هُمْ؟ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَنْتَشِرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عِبَادٌ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ مِنْ بُلْدَانٍ شَتَّى وَقَبَائِلَ مِنْ شُعُوبِ أَرْحَامِ الْقَبَائِلِ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَرْحَامٌ يَتَوَاصَلُونَ بِهَا لِلَّهِ لَا دُنْيَا يَتَبَادَلُونَ بِهَا يَتَحَابُّونَ بِرُوحِ اللهِ ﷻ يَجْعَلُ اللهُ وُجُوهَهُمْ نُورًا يَجْعَلُ لَهُمْ مَنَابِرَ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ قُدَّامَ الرَّحْمَنِ تَعَالَى يَفْزَعُ النَّاسُ وَلَا يَفْزَعُونَ وَيَخَافُ النَّاسُ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ»

✧ I was with the Prophet ﷺ when this verse was revealed: {Do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you}. He said: We were asking him when he said: "God has servants who are neither prophets nor martyrs; the prophets and martyrs envy them for their nearness and their seat with God ﷻ on the Day of Resurrection." He said: In a corner of the people was a bedouin. He stood up, knelt on his knees, gestured with his hands, and said: Tell us, O Messenger of God, about them; who are they? He said: I saw the face of the Prophet ﷺ brighten. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Servants from among God's servants, from various lands and tribes of the peoples of the tribes, between whom there are no ties of kinship by which they connect for God; not for worldly gain that they exchange. They love one another by the spirit of God ﷻ. God will make their faces light, and He will make for them pulpits of pearl before the Most Merciful, the Exalted. People will be terrified, and they will not be terrified; people will fear, and they will not fear."
