وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسْرَةٌ إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ رَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ سَقْيٌ وَلَهُ سَانِيَةٌ يَسْقِي عَلَيْهَا أَرْضَهُ فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّ ظَمَأُ أَرْضِهِ وَخَرَجَ ثِمَارُهَا مَاتَتْ سَانِيَتُهُ فَيَجِدُ حَسْرَةً عَلَى سَانِيَتِهِ الَّذِي قَدْ عَلَّمَهُ السَّقْيَ أَنْ يَجِدَ مِثْلَهُ وَيَجِدُ حَسْرَةً عَلَى ثَمَرَةِ أَرْضِهِ أَنْ تَفْسَدَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُحِيلَ لَهَا حِيلَةً وَرَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ فَرَسٌ جَوَادٌ فَلَقِيَ جَمْعًا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ فَلَمَّا دَنَا بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ انْهَزَمَ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ فَسَبَقَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى فَرَسِهِ فَلَمَّا كَرَبَ أَنْ يَلْحَقَ كُسِرَتْ بِهِ فَرَسُهُ وَتُرِكَ قَائِمًا عِنْدَهُ يَجِدُ حَسْرَةً عَلَى فَرَسِهِ أَنَّ لَا يَجِدَ مِثْلَهُ وَيَجِدُ حَسْرَةً عَلَى مَا فَاتَهُ مِنَ الظَّفَرِ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَجُلٍ تَحْتَهُ امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ رَضِيَ هَيْأَتَهَا وَدِينَهَا فَنَفَسَتْ غُلَامًا فَمَاتَتْ بِنَفَسِهِ فَيَجِدُ حَسْرَةً عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصَادِفَ مِثْلَهَا وَيَجِدُ حَسْرَةً عَلَى وَلَدِهَا يَخْشَى أَنْ يَهْلِكَ ضَيْعَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِدَ لَهُ مُرْضِعَةً قَالَ «وَهَذِهِ أَكْثَرُ أُولَئِكَ الْحَسَرَاتِ»
Translation
Chain of narrators
- Samurah b. Jundub
✧ The Prophet ﷺ used to say: “In this world there is no regret except in three cases: a man who had irrigation and a water-drawing camel with which he watered his land. When his land’s thirst became severe and its fruits emerged, his camel died, and he feels regret for the camel that he had trained to draw water, since he will not find its like, and he feels regret for the fruit of his land, lest it spoil before he can contrive a plan for it. And a man who had a swift horse and met a gathering of disbelievers. When they drew near to one another, the enemies of God fled, and the man raced ahead on his horse. But when he was about to catch up, his horse broke down and left him standing beside it, so he feels regret for his horse, since he will not find its like, and he feels regret for the victory that had been within his reach. And a man who has a wife whose appearance and religion please him, and she gives birth to a boy but dies in childbirth. He feels regret for his wife, thinking he will never find her like, and he feels regret for her child, fearing that he will perish neglected before he can find a wet-nurse for him.” He said: “And this last is the greatest of those regrets.”
