حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْرَةُ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ زُغْبٍ الْإِيَادِيّ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَوَالَةَ الْأَزْدِيُّ ، فَقَالَ لِي : بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِنَغْنَمَ عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا فَرَجَعْنَا ، فَلَمْ نَغْنَمْ شَيْئًا وَعَرَفَ الْجَهْدَ فِي وُجُوهِنَا فَقَامَ فِينَا فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَيَّ فَأَضْعُفَ عَنْهُمْ ، وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَعْجِزُوا عَنْهَا ، وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيَسْتَأْثِرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِي أَوْ قَالَ : عَلَى هَامَتِي ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ حَوَالَةَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْخِلَافَةَ قَدْ نَزَلَتْ أَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ ، فَقَدْ دَنَتِ الزَّلَازِلُ وَالْبَلَابِلُ وَالْأُمُورُ الْعِظَامُ وَالسَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَقْرَبُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مِنْ يَدِي هَذِهِ مِنْ رَأْسِكَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَوَالَةَ حِمْصِيٌّ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Hawalah al-Azdi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us on foot to get spoil, but we returned without getting any. When he saw the signs of distress on our faces, he stood up on our faces and said: O Allah, do not put them under my care, for I would be too weak to care for them; do not put them in care of themselves, for they would be incapable of that, and do not put them in the care of men, for they would choose the best things for themselves. He then placed his hand on my head and said: Ibn Hawalah, when you see the caliphate has settled in the holy land, earthquakes, sorrows and serious matters will have drawn near and on that day the Last Hour will be nearer to mankind than this hand of mine is to your head. Abu Dawud said: Abdullah bin Hawalah belongs to Hims.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Expecting spoils of war (ghanimah) along with reward and recompense in jihad is not blameworthy,
provided that this intention is not the primary objective. However, it is certain that obtaining these spoils reduces the reward in the Hereafter,
as has been mentioned in (Chapter: Regarding the Expedition That Returns Quickly) Hadith 2497.
➋
Allah Ta’ala has made wealth an important means for the sustenance of mankind, while the true Provider (Kafeel) is Allah Himself, the Mighty and Majestic.
If He does not provide these means,
and does not place blessing (barakah) in them, then all the individuals of the universe and all its means are not even worth a straw.
➌
The news of unseen future matters is a proof of the truthfulness of the Prophethood of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
From the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) onwards, the aforementioned signs have been manifesting continuously in the world and within the Muslim Ummah.
➍
The Day of Judgment is extremely near.
Therefore, every person should be concerned about it.
