Thulathiyyat (Musnad Ahmad) 100
Musnad of Abū Ḥamzah Anas ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī, the Servant of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ يُعْجِبُنَا أَنْ يَجِيءَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ فَيَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى قِيَامُ السَّاعَةِ؟ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ قَالَ: «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ؟» قَالَ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: «وَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟» قَالَ: مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا مِنْ كَبِيرِ عَمَلٍ صَلَاةٍ، وَلَا صِيَامٍ، إِلَّا أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ». قَالَ أَنَسٌ: «فَمَا رَأَيْتُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَرِحُوا بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ بِشَيْءٍ مَا فَرِحُوا بِهِ».
Translation
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We used to love it when a man from the desert would come and question the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ. A Bedouin came and asked: “O Messenger of Allah, when will the Hour come?” The iqāmah for prayer had already been called, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ performed the prayer. When he finished, he asked: “Where is the one who was asking about the Hour?” The man said: “It is I, O Messenger of Allah.” He asked: “What have you prepared for it?” The man replied: “I have not prepared for it a great deal of prayer or fasting, but I love Allah and His Messenger.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ then said: “A person will be with those whom he loves.” Anas said: “I have never seen the Muslims rejoice at anything after embracing Islam as they rejoiced at this.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 100
